Thanks AANP, for people who now live miles away it's a God send.

They sent out this a week ago to society members if it's any help.

The press articles keep coming, this time Mr McCormack has written an open, and scathing, letter to Bedfordshire Police stating that the situation in Bedford town centre is unacceptable and being allowed to rot, issues with crime and drugs are threatening the economic viability of businesses and the safety of residents. https://www.bedfordindependent.co.uk/bedford-business-owner-tells-bedfordshire-police-tackle-crime-or-well-do-it-ourselves/

Not long now until Eynesbury United's eagerly awaited Huntingdonshire FA Intermediate Cup Final against Peterborough & District League Premier Division Warboys Town on Wednesday 9 April at St Ives Town FC:

Eynesbury United's match report: Spartan South Midlands Division 2 Codicote (0)0 Eynesbury Utd (1)1 (Ryan Baxter) An opportunisic goal from Ryan Baxter on the stroke of half time saw the Bulls pick up three huge points in their push for promotion and to try and catch current leaders New Bradwell St Peter. The Bulls are four points behind the leaders and they meet on Tuesday 29th April at Hall Road - so there is still a lot to play for. In a game dictated by a strong wind both, sides produced some good football, United started brightly and pressed Codicote early but didn’t have a chance of note. Codicote were relying on playing on the counter attack and had a couple of efforts but Dylan Martin made light work of the saves. United had the first real chance on 29 minutes when a great ball from Cal Irvine found Iwen Jones whose first time volley went just wide, Ryan Baxter was next to try and break the deadlock but his effort went high and wide. Chances were however at a premium and any efforts were from long range and troubled neither keeper. On 43 minutes though that all changed, Codicote as they had done all night tried to play out from the back - but Ryan Baxter had been all over them all night, and this time it paid off when he forced the defender into putting a weak back pass in and then closed the keeper down - the keeper tried to clear but he struck the ball against Baxter and the ball went in. Great time to score and the Bulls went in at the break a goal to the good. Codicote as expected came out all guns blazing and a number of balls in the box found Pidgeon but his headed efforts were either off target or wide. Codicote then had their best chance of the evening when their forward raced clear but a great recovering tackle from Lewis king saw a goal scoring chance denied. Archie Palmer replaced the injured Nathan Arnold with Cal Irvine dropping in at right back - a role he fulfilled like a duck to water. Archie had a great chance to double the Bulls lead but his header hit the post. The Bulls saw the last knockings of the game comfortably and picked up those three vital points. On to next Wednesday when they play Warboys Town at St Ives in the Hunts Intermediate Cup Final. A well deserved distraction from the promotion push. MoM was Brad Brown - a mature performance and a passing game to match.

And poor Unders sacked!

Bracknell have announced with immediate effect that Chairman Andy Hunt and their management team are to step down and be replaced by their previous Chairman Kayne SB. Bobby Wilkinson has been announced as their new manager.

One place above the relegation zone are Dagenham with the same points as Boston just a better goal difference. Wealdstone have a 2 point advantage with Woking having 3 points in hand. It's still looking wide open for 3 of the 4 relegation places.

I don’t agree entirely, Maidenhead are probably going to need to catch Wealdstone if they are to avoid relegation, and they were who beat Boston 1-0 last night.

How about we just stay up on merit.

Boston and AFC Fylde the two teams immediately above Maidenhead both lost their game in hand tonight making things a bit easier for Maidenhead who remain one off the bottom and still very much in trouble

"Man opens small coffee shop in large town" is actually now a BBC news story?

Anyone know any updates on how the ground improvements are going? Looked very weird having that empty side on Saturday.

A groundhopper from another Forum was in attendance at the Pixmore Playing Fields: Letchworth Garden City Eagles 0 - 0 Cranfield United Pixmore Fields, Spartan SM Div One - Step 6, Attendance 53 (official) & 2 dogs, although my est HC was nearer 70. Admission £6, Programme £1, Strongbow cider £3.50. Staying close to home today, I've done a lot of trips recently, plus if I walked and used the bus I could have a drink. The rugby club had a game on next door, and a lot of their crowd were dressed in yellow and black. Not the most exciting game, during the first half CU were awarded a free kick from JUST outside the penalty area, the ensuing jostling of a huddle of players took about 5 or 6 minutes before the Referee was happy they were in a rough line for the kick to be taken. The LGC GK did a great save, and went on to make several impressive saves throughout the second half, LGC did not manage to shoot anywhere near on target, even when CU had a player sin binned for 10 minutes later in the game. There was a very well behaved black German Shepherd, still looking quite fluffy around his face, as he was 10 months old, and he even got his own bowl of water brought outside to him from the Clubhouse.

Both Club's version of events: https://www.stonystratfordtownfc.com/Matchreport.aspx?id=796578 Spartan South Midlands Division 2 - Eynesbury United (0)3 Stony Stratford Town (0)0 (Lee, Baxter, Gauge), Att: 96. The Bulls got back to winning ways with a hard fought win at Hall Road. The result cements their current second placed position and with New Bradwell drawing they are very much still in the title race. The first half was a drab affair and the Bulls only had two efforts of note - Ryan Baxter’s shot went just wide and Ty McLeod had a good effort somehow cleared off the line. The second half was much more exciting with both sides bringing their attacking game to the table. On 54 minutes United thought they had a penalty for handball but the referee thought otherwise much to the annoyance of the Bulls players - Brad Brown said too much and was sinned binned. Down to 10 men and the Bulls stepped up - a great ball into the box saw Conor Lee get his head to the ball and the Bulls had their breakthrough, 1-0. Minutes later another great ball into the box found Lee again but the Ref. adjudged that Conor had scored with his arm - when clearly it had come off his stomach. The Bulls were now on top but Stony reminded them that they were still in the game when a quick attack saw Martin having to make a smart save. The much needed second goal finally came when Nathan Arnold found Baxter with a great ball - with the Stony keeper advancing Baxter lifter the ball over him and into the net, 2-0. It was not long before two became three - another great corner from Lewis King found Gauge who smartly headed home. In the end it was a comprehensive victory - but Stony worked hard and made it difficult for the Bulls for long periods. MoM was Sammy Routs - all action performance. Next up for the Bulls is an away trip on Tuesday night to Codicote, kick off 7:45pm.
