Ground record of 1267 was set in March 2022 when they beat Wycombe in the semi. I was speaking to someone there last night who told me they could have had more in but decided to limit it so everyone got a decent view. I would think around 1500 is capacity (without temporary stands).

But we’d take at least 9000 surely !

Think you have added 2 noughts in error.

POSTPONED

Now re-arranged for Tuesday january 24th KO 7.45pm

Match now appears to have been switched and is being played at Amersham Town FC not Flackwell.
I can only assume that the B & B have a rule that if a match is called off twice the home team forefit the right to hold it at home and the tie is switched - bit harsh !!

Is that a actual home game played at Newport Pagnell Town or a home game in name only and therefore still played at bottom meadow?

Seems unfair for a side to lose home advantage due to weather conditions that have been causing havoc amongst hundreds of fixtures at all levels of the game. If it’s postponed again does it just go back to the first club able to get the game on?
