Re: How many points will we have after 6 games ?
People on here are so negative. I think from these games 4 would be a decent return. Shame about yesterday. Fine margins and the game was there for the taking in the first half. Another day that would have been a comfortable win... and i think we will have a few of them this year. I’m going to back ...

Re: The Barnfield Cricket Field Stand
Strange for a construction company to sponsor a stand which is so out of date. Not a piece of construction you’d expect them to want to be associated with.
Unless as suggested above it’s a strategic move on their behalf.
