No i dont mind driving us up there mate, i will be there on Thursday and I wont be going home.
All I wanted was for you to pick me up from work on your way through to our place.

Cheers. I think Browny wants me to drive him on Thurs, so Im hoping he doesnt want me to drive us up to Park House then drive him home again straight away, I wont be impressed.

Turn left onto the A34 heading south.

Filter left into Newbury.

Go through the town centre until you reach the roundabout next to Halfords and Burger King - turn right.

Go straight across the next roundabout up Andover Road.

You'll reach the two mini roundabouts, go straight over both and the entrance to Park House school is just up there on your left hand side.

Alternatively get Browny to give you a lift and then f*ck off...

No punching without glass? No much point in that case.

Dont suppose any of you lot can give me direction from the M4, jct 13, to Park House School...

Be nice to have a few bevvies and watch the game together eh? If you're happy to have us round Paul it's probably better than AFC Newbury with their 'no sound' rule and other unnamed Newbury pubs with their 'no punching without broken glass' rule...

Im suppose to be playing footy saturday, but if you are all doing something im sure I can give it a miss.

I'll be in London to watch it, but I'll want to be home nice and early to give my all on Sunday morning, so I hope the match doesnt Drag-on...

(Boom Boom)

where';s everyone watching the England game on Saturday? Fancy a Shefford get together/session to carry the flag against the Welsh enemy? By god they produce some good bands, but hopefully they'll have a (ahem) leeky defence...

(my coat...)

Post Office, apparently, beat MDM at the weekend. Looks like it's going to be a messy season, picking up points here and there, losing games you might not expect but watching other teams do the same. We just have to give it our all in each game and see what comes of it. Looks like anybody is beatable but anybody is capable of beating too. Rollercoaster season ahead...

It was a good result, but like you say it was hard to keep playing to our level. Sometimes we would have the ball and have so much time on the ball it was rediculous, you lose that instinctive edge to your game and try to play passes that you wouldnt normally play. Still, 8 goals in two games is a good confidence boost. Bring on Travellers.

Before I comment on the game yesterday, I just want to apologise publicly (Blog-icly) to Paul for subbing him off yesterday. Paul always reacts a bit if he hears his name called out to come off, just cos he wants to play as much footy as possible, which is fine I don't mind that, but yesterday I got it wrong - I thought he had played the full 90 last week, it was only after the game that I found out that he'd been subbed then too. In which case, in normal circumstances I wouldn't have subbed him, I'd have looked at someone else to make way for Browny, and as Browny is fairly versatile, that could have been one of about 5 or 6 other players. With a squad our size there's no major reason for someone to come off two weeks in a row, so that was my f*ck up. As it was Paul had had a stormer of a first half and was doing the same, maybe looking a little tired but as we know even when he looks tired he can still pop up with a goal or two. So I just wanted everyone to know that he's not an automatic choice to come off when subs are about to be made and if it seems that way after the last couple of games then that's cos I hadn't caught up with Genghis properly after the win against Shalbourne. There.

So anyway, good game yesterday gents. Nice easy victory, I was a little disappointed in Bell FC, I thought they might at least test us a bit, but there you go. We kept our energy levels up as much as possible but did get dragged down to their level a bit going forward, just cos the marking was so poor that we were trying to score too quickly in a move. But good to see that we never lost our concentration at the back - I wasn't joking when I said I wanted no shots in the full 90 minutes and I think I can allow you the one scuffed attempt in the first half cos he'd have had to have hit it perfectly to get it in from where he was, so that was excellent to see. Cleanest sheet I've ever seen I think. Even my gloves were clean.

Good to see Neil get off the mark too, with a typically confident penalty. And our first goal of the season contender with Dave's second goal.

Bit of shooting practice required at some point, as after being 2 up inside 2 minutes, we should have really been pushing for double figures there, but we'll take the win and hope for another exotic away trip in the next round...

Excellent news there then mr bellamy, thank goodness, £23 quid I'll take that with a seven day ban anyday. cheers for the info I'll pay up next week. Good luck sunday boys.

Here's a map, with directions and a badge. 

Okay - Game on. Directions are as follows:-

From Newbury, take the A34 North and come off at Chilton onto the A4185.
Then turn left onto the A417 heading towards Wantage.
Once in Wantage turn right onto the A338 heading North towards Grove.
Eventually turn left into Main Street in Grove.
Then 3rd left into Cane Lane.
The pitch is in Grove Rugby Club on your left hand side.
Changing rooms are in the Scout Hut which you get to by walking past the Rugby Club building.

Be there for 9.45am.

Reading lot - Crabbeman, Sillsy, Browny - I assume you're going to meet us all there.

Newbury & others - up to you, you can meet at Vicky Park and head up there, go yourself or meet in Shefford if you like which is the A338 anyway...

Let me know.

No, I've tried calling Dave Piper twice this morning but am getting no answer. Will try the Berks & Bucks now...

Well Beeny you're a reasonably lucky man. Other than a £23 fine you have just a 7 day ban which runs from a Monday to a Monday so you only miss one game - 31st October. Fixture list doesn't run that far yet so I can't tell you what game you miss, but at least it's only 1 match not the 5 or 6 I was fearing.
