Rain, Injuries, Buffets and Bog Roll

As it turns out all four items are actually related. Firstly after consulting every weather website under the sun we can at least be pretty certain that there will be some rain during the course of tommorow. It seems conditions will be similar to last season's encounter which may not be a great thing as word is a lot of fans were put off from making the journey due to the poor driving conditions. We want a massive turnout from the supporters this time around, regardless of the result, this game is a chance to show the players and new boys in particular a sample of the support that they can receive on a regular basis when playing for us. Of course a win would go down even better :D

Elliot Bradbrook and Allan Tait are two key players we've got missing from the squad. Both were in excellent form prior to their injuries and undoubtedly both would have had a huge role to play in the game. Tait's physical presence and gritty determination would have been a plus over the more "mild" Jay May and the pace, directness and all-round ability of Bradbrook will be equally missed. Hopefully those covering take this as an opportunity to step up to the mark in the best way possible.

The coach journey to France is shaping up to be one of the best ever with live music, food and singing all set for the 1 and a bit hour shift down the A2/M2.

And finally, were hoping to get our own Tifo display going pre-match by the traditional lobbing of bog roll down the terraces in a serene and aesthetically pleasing show of support ;)

Passports at the ready people, tommorow may be slightly alright :)
