Official Match Preview

Let's have a great turn out at Yaxley.

Do we have any parking arrangements for the match yet ?

There seems to be a fairly large area South of the pitch, but not much else.

There's usually quite a lot of parking space at Leading Drove. There is a well surfaced area at the ground, with marked out spaces which those with bigger cars / 4x4s seem to ignore, plus a largish overflow area there. Then there is an area opposite, one the other side of the road, near some training pitches, which we have also had access to in the past. Should that all fill up there is parking alongside Leading Drove itself, but that tends to turn it into a single file road.

The picture on Google Maps / Earth is quite old, as is the StreetView one. The Bing Maps one is also a similar vintage.

We haven't had an issue there in the four games played to date, but its difficult to predict how many will make the journey on Monday or how the UCL will chose to manage / steward things.

:lol: :lol: :lol: sorry, the thought of them managing their way out of a wet paper bag is beyond me, expect carnage !!!! ;)

Potton have knocked out Thurnby Nirvana and Holbeach on route to the final, so will be well up for winning this

But they will look very smart in their blazers and green and black ties.

Potton will be well up for this, playing us will be their ....... errrrm, cup final ;)

We'll have to play a darn sight better than we did yesterday or they will beat us - simples!! We may well be depleted too, with some players being unavailable and some injured, Dolman looked in trouble yesterday and would be a massive miss for us.

I know winning promotion was our aim this year, but with one game left I hope we don't finish the season on a low. Looking forward to this, before a few weeks of gardening, decorating etc.

Roll on the preseason friendlies ;)

Looking forward to this one, lets do the double a big turn out

Although I do agree Potton will be up for this one. :?

Will be able to attend this one, as I have the day off work

Hopefully we'll have a decent following.
