2nd round, who do you want?

[graingrover]

When we play Kettering or rather BEFORE we do , we should make sure every one of our players sees the video that so graphically captures the times when Ryan , Ian and Glyn Snodin raised this club from the ashes

Let those of us who lived through that period help today's generation of players and fans know that this club was rebuilt on grit and by fighters.

[Pancho Regan]

Went to Kettering when we had just beaten Rushden away. Kettering were near the top snd we beat them 1-0.
That was the very beginning of our eventual rise to rhe Champoinship.
Great days.
Different ground though nowadays int it?

Have they moved grounds?

Yes Pancho, they left Rockingham Rd in 2012.
Now play at Burton Latimer.

Left in 2011 I think,had a spell at Rushden and Diamonds sadly now demised stadium before moving to ground share at Burton Park Wanderers,each club having their name one one stand each  ,shame they not still at Rockingham road,could have taken a bigger following.

Ah yes, of course. Thanks tommytoes and Drover, I remember now.

Much rather then be shown the Northampton/Kettering match to show them what can happen if we don’t perform or think it’s a foregone conclusion!

Kettering capacity is 2,500, from Football Ground Guide.

Can see Wealdstone v Wycombe being a TV game.
Solihull v Bromley possibly
Then the only other non league home fixture v a league club is us and Kettering.
Think it’s a possibility…..

Kettering are 7th tier with a tiny ground and an impressive win in R1, so I can’t see that there could be any doubt about it being on TV. Wealdstone too, but for a NL team to beat Bromley at home would be attractive, but not quite as much as the other two. TV has to be there, they will be everyone’s favourites and we will have everything to lose!
