How are they going to field a team for Saturday and upcoming fixtures for that matter? Would be a good opportunity to play some football for the like's of Ebondo who was on the bench for us and plops this season, even if just to get some game time fir a month or so. I think they were much critics title favourites at the start of the season, but unless they can find a new boss to bring in virtually a whole new team, then they've got to now be favourites to be relegated

Praying for more rain most likely for this weekends game to be called off.

From what Setch has said in the press today their budget has been cut from 4k p/w to £2.8k p/w.

£2.8k p/w is definitely not a relegation budget in this league. So it doesn't need to be a catastrophe on the pitch but theyre going to have to navigate the loss of players.

They'll be shopping in a pool Setch isn't familiar with, that's for sure. Which is perhaps why he has gone.

They’ve called the game off due to a “waterlogged” pitch, announced Wednesday afternoon, even though many of their supporters have said there has been little rain in Corby, they probably left their sprinklers on!! Why not field their youth team to fulfil the fixture?

Remember when in the old Diamonds days we went to Weymouth who basically fielded a youth team and we won 9-0

Wednesday game v Coleshill was postponed but not sure Saturday v Long Eaton is. My understanding is you can't postpone until the day of the game unless permission given by the League
