Afternoon All

A great way to start our away fixtures with a 2 – 1 win at Rochdale with our goals scored by Pemi Aderoju and Louis Watson from the penalty spot after the home side had equalised early in the second half. The performance of the team playing in the 3^rd kit was outstanding with new signing and “man of the match” Kia Jennings being a revelation in midfield alongside Jude Arthers.  We haven’t see an away performance like that for a few seasons and every one of the team can be proud of what they did.

Thanks to everyone all 221 of you who went to the games yesterday and our coach travellers to say the least were in great sprit on the way up with a good non eventful and to time trip – buffet at the Fox and Hounds went down well and we arrived at the stadium just after 2.00pm. As you can expect the trip home was even better, despite the time it took us to get away from the stadium due to the roadworks encountered on the way in. We stopped at Warwick Services for a short time as the M25 at the M40 junction to Heathrow was due to close at 10.00pm so we wanted to get past that junction earlier. It made it difficult as the Team Coach pulled in just as we were  due to depart so everyone was congratulating the team on the win – they were just as elated with the result as we were. We departed a few minutes later than we wanted but it was worth it.

We have Bristol Rovers on Saturday which is going to be another great game – after their 5 – 3 win over Newport County – so get to the game and let’s fill the stadium.

We then have two away matches Northampton and Accrington Stanley which the details are below – please start booking on as at the moment numbers are low if we want to run these coaches. We are taking bookings now so please if you are travelling to each of the please get your seats booked. The team deserve our support on the road as much as at home.

As you know we sent out posters for supporters to try and put up for the Bristol Rovers game – have seen a few up in Ifield, West Green and Gossops Green and also the Pop-in Café on Manor Royal. The Club are pleased with what we are doing to get the games publicised around the town. We may have also got another advertising board for the club. If you have managed to get one up then thank you.

Our next two Away League matches coming up which we are taking bookings, again if we don’t get the required numbers on any of our coaches then we may cancel – we have to give United at least weeks’ notice if we are going to cancelling. We really hope that we don’t have to cancel any coaches to the away games.
