It's literally never ending folks, one good news story after another, tomorrow (Friday 21 March) is the grand opening of the Club's coffee shop in Bedford Town centre, it looks amazing and what an inspired name for the shop

I understand that it was an amazing 'grand opening' of Mr McCormack's coffee shop in Bedford Town Centre yesterday (Friday 21 March), it will no doubt do a roaring trade today with Mother's Day shoppers and genuine coffee lovers who want an alternative to the likes of Starbucks, Costa, Caffe Nero:

Bulletin folks, it's a real nail biter at Berkhamsted FC's Glencar Community Stadium, still 0-0 on the 80 minute mark with Tyler McGregor having a great game in goal:

Massive draw against Berkhamsted. Magic number sits at just 13 now, realistically more like 12 given the large lead in goal differential to this point. Chance to cut it down to just 9 with a home win over Stotfold this evening.

I feel this could be a difficult match for Real Bedford, look at the result in their favour against Berkhamstead only a few days ago.

Looking at tables unnoticed former SSML side Risborough are in relegation trouble. I remember at the beginning of the season I’m sure the talk was they were gearing up for promotion. That would’ve been a crazy move anyway for a club that size, but now it seems they are in a struggle to maintain step 5. Two cup finals to go including the only team below them another former SSML side Wembley (Wembley have games I hand too). Berks county conceded in the last minute to keep risboroughs survival hopes alive, just. Exciting stuff at the top and bottom with former SSML side Amersham going great thanks to the goals of Jake Tabor who will surely be playing league football next year. Again with Amersham it seems crazy to me they would want step 4 given their size of the club. The danger to overstretch is massive.

Am hearing Real Bedford have not submitted an entry to next season's FA Cup. Presumably that means their takeover of Bedford Town is a done deal.

RIP Real Bedford FC 2022 to 2025 and Bedford Town FC 1908 to 2025.

Confirmed the merger agreement is signed and sealed and lodged with the Football Association.

Obviously not confirmed officially by anyone involved with either club, no communication from them for months now.
