Yes, away fans are now behind the goal - but there are two blocks available in the Midland Road Stand if there is potential for overspill.

Big game this for both clubs.

With our FA Cup shenanigans behind us, focusing on the the bread and butter stuff has taken full priority.

Probably like yourselves, we're not playing well at all - but still find ourselves right in the mix. I think this goes to show how weak L1 is this campaign. Tbh, we haven't even played well all season - distinctly average at best - and yet we've lost so many points in the last 5 mins of games, of which if we'd have seen them out, we would've been sitting comfortably in the auto places.

A few things to expect from this game. The pitch; whilst it isn't great, it's not as if it's completely unplayable - of which is muttered from opposing fans every other week. Some seem to think we've purposely allowed our pitch to get so bad, when in reality, bad weather coinciding with high stands (limited sunlight) and endless run of games at VP is the real reason behind it.

HOOF; apparently, this is all we do - like, alllll game. Couldn't be more far from the truth. We have some fantastic ball players with great technical ability - and TBH, I wish we played to their strengths more often than not.

Right then, the game itself. I expect us to line up like so;

GK: Ben Williams

RB: Stephen Darby
CB: Rory McArdle
CB: Gary McKenzie
LB: James Meredith

RM: Christophe Routis
CM: Gary Liddle
LM: Mark Yeates

CAM: Billy Clarke

ST: Jon Stead
ST: James Hanson

Subs;
Jak Alnwick
Tony McMahon
Billy Knott
Francios Zoko
Andy Haliday
Motley- Henry

I'd probably take a draw - but I feel it could be 1-0 to either side.

Likely to bring many?

Att: 13,671

We are playing well, it was our lack of firepower which cost us at least a 3-1 win at Posh. We'll bring between 5 & 6oo ... 1-1 draw I reckon.

Yes, that is indeed correct.

You'll be pleased to know that particular area is currently available for supporters to use - however, you must arrive relatively early.

Failing that, I wouldn't advise you to park anywhere around the ground, as the number of car break-ins is staggering. I would advise you to park in the town centre if possible - there are numerous secure car parks available.

If you arrive around 6.30 would there be plenty of spaces to park? Seems to be a lot of permit holders only areas close to the stadium.

Looking on Streetview it was the aptly named Bradford Arms we went in.

Last time we went we parked on a side street off the main road and went in a ropey pub on a corner.

God you've got to be dedicated or stupid to go to this one in midweek. Shytehole of a place, Neanderthal fans and a pitch you can't play football on that won't suit us. A mortgage for a can of beer in the ground .....

Any suggestions for a nice curry house?

Thanks it don't sound too appetising! Is there still a 24 hour Tesco on Canal Road near the Staples and PC World is that an option?
