The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Weather permitting and there is a big question mark over games being played this week.

Tonight: Beaconsfield v Bedford and Cambridge City v Marlow
Tomorrow: Hartley Wintney v Thame

Can games be postponed because "its too cold"!!!!

Should all be home wins but after last saturday anything could happen.

If Saturdays games go ahead it could be dubbed "Super Saturday" as there are some top matches:

AFC R & D V Hayes
Beaconsfield v AFC Dunstable
Cambridge City v Chalfont SP
plus
Hartley W v Aylesbury.

So at least three teams have to drop points.

Yes, if the pitch is frozen, and with temperatures well below zero overnight and barely above zero during the daytime this week it is highly likely they will be off.

There is also snow in the forecast, which could also impact on Saturday's fixtures.

I wasn't so much thinking of frozen pitches. Its that wind chill factor which is going to make it seem very cold . If games are played tonight I bet they don't get too many spectators!!

Both games are ON tonight. Good luck to anyone going to watch and good luck to Bedford and Marlow

Beaconsfield's home record is poor for a side in their position. Cambridge's form is a bit in and out, so certainly chances for the away teams to take something.

Can’t believe the are so few at Beaconsfield, given it’s such a pleasant evening.

The match referee decided the Cambridge v Marlow match couldn't go ahead - by which time Marlow had reached the ground.

Beaconsfield 0 Bedford 0 - Half time

Beaconsfield 0-0 Bedford, finished 0-0, great/excellent news that Beaconsfield finished 0-0.

Two points dropped by Beaconsfield and a player from each side sent off in added time.
