Kettering match thread : part 1
« on: January 26, 2020, 06:19:43 PM »

Probably the most improved team in the league over the last three months. Unbeaten at home since 12th October (though they've only played four home games in that period).

Overall, their 12 league games since that defeat have yielded 5 wins and 5 draws. Their only two league defeats in this period have been by the odd goal away at both Boston and York. That's very decent form.

I'd like to think we could win, but my head says a draw will be a decent achievement.

Very big game. Certainly hope to see Mahon start, preferably instead of peers but probably Wall. Can't wait see any changes after that.

My local game.

Don’t expect the pitch to be great, and expect the facilities to be worse, although they are gradually improving bit by bit. Went there for the Kettering v Diamonds derby last season, attendance 2,000 ish and ground couldn’t cope In the slightest!

Two pubs in Burton Latimer (Olde Victoria and the Dukes Arms) if anyone is in the town  before kick off. There’s street parking available in the area around the ground

Try and ignore the smell, it’s just Weetabix, whose factory is immediately to the rear of the ground.

It's got to be an improvement on the stench from that chicken farm at Leamington !

Preview now live: https://www.altrinchamfc.com/news/match-preview-kettering-town-v-altrincham

I've taken over these recently so if anyone can think of anything they'd like to see featured, give me a shout. Want to make them as genuinely interesting as a non-league match preview can be!

It looks pretty comprehensive to me. I was going to suggest bus info but it appears in a link at the bottom anyway

It's a decent piece of work Andrew. Only thing I'd like to see is a note of any nearby pubs that welcome visiting fans (the Schooner was the highlight of the day at Gateshead - maybe I should have stayed in there 😂)

If only all clubs arranged pitch inspections well in advance.

Unfortunately, though, Kettering did arrange a pitch inspection against Hereford nice and early, a couple of weeks ago, which was passed by a local referee.

 However, when the match referee turned up, he agreed with Hereford that there was no chance of the match taking place. I am not going, but hope there's no repeat tomorrow.

I can certainly look to include a feature like that for away games, no problem. Cheers!

Just looking out of the window at the sleet. But the good news is it's fine in Kettering. Fingers crossed....
