Yet another midweek league game where a club from the Milton Keynes/Bedfordshire area has to travel AWAY to Lowfields.

When was the last time League game wise it was a role reversal????

We were talking about over the seasons as it does seem to be the way over the years.

KB....I said 'League game' not cup as the Winslow one was.

Would like to know the last time Hoddy came to MK for a midweek league game, or deep into Bedfordshire, not Crawley Green which is a piece of p**s for them.

Over the years, New Bradwell, Stony, Cranfield, Ampthill to name a few are asked to travel to Lowfields midweek for a league game, but tbh cannot recall the last time they had to make such a trek themselves.

Not knocking the club, but after so many seasons a pattern has seemed to develop.

Maybe the league don't like clubs our way????

It is the leagues 'sweetener' to Roger for not promoting Hoddy when they finish outside promotion places

[tringarmy]

It could just be because Hoddy miss out on the first 4 or 5 weeks of the season given the share with the cricket meaning they have more home games to squeeze in from mid September onwards

Could be, fair point, still does seem MK area teams go there a lot when they have plenty of close neighbours. Nothing against Hoddy as they don't create fixtures

Since their relegation from the Prem would be interesting to know the last time they had a midweek league game away at say Stony, New Bradwell, Ampthill, Winslow, Cranfield or any other close club.

As I say not picking on the club but.....this seems to be the norm every season, just an observation, that's all

Luck of the draw I guess. Lets be honest though, in div 1 it hasn't exactly benefited us in all those years!!

 

And being a supporter of the club, I have travelled far and wide midweek for many a league and cup game!! Tiptree being a particular favourite!!

LOL Jonno honestly am not knocking your club mate but, looks like to get promotion you need midweek games as far afield as possible, maybe

[Jonno]

My point exactly!! However, had a good run of late so hoping we cans maintain it between now and the end of the season. Won ten on the bounce now I think!

[Colliers_Wood_Iron]

I'm guessing that there's little chance of Biggleswade vs. Berkhampsted being on. Anyone know how the pitch is looking?

[you aint got a castle]

No idea what the pitch is like, wasnt the best last season and I remember it being verycold in the ground too. Gonna be unable to get up to biggleswade in time to watch this one tonight either unless my car develops another gear and the roads are free of police and other motorists.

[Basher]

_{Current Temperature in Welwyn Garden City for the Codicote v Buckingham Ath, Cup match -1 Deg C, will rise to a massive +1 by lunch...}

[Munchkin]

Pitch was in good condition when we player there a couple of months ago.

[petethegreek]

Haringey Borough's game is off tonight.

 

They will try again tomorrow.
