I will also share some photographs of Bedford Town's old ground, the Old Eyrie off Ford End Road, for LondonEagle, Cruz and other fans and ex pats who appear to be afraid to raise their heads above the parapet on here. The ground was sadly lost in 1982 when the heartless Charles Wells Brewery refused to renew the Club's lease, those were certainly the days weren't they:

Good news folks and a huge thanks to Bedford Town Football Club, perhaps LondonEagle had a quiet word in the Club's shell-like and made them see sense 😉:
Our next live stream will be v Elstow Abbey in the Beds County Cup Final at Bedford Town. Thank you to everyone at Bedford Town for allowing us stream the game.

I never thought I would say this but a good result for Real Bedford last night with Rugby Borough beating Northampton ON Chenecks 3-1, Rob Sinclair's men are pretty much 'home and hosed' now, no pun intended with the Cheltenham Festival this week:
Wednesday 15 March
Division One
Rugby Borough 3 Northampton ON Chenecks 1

Supremo Rob Sinclair's assessment of the excellent 5-1 victory over Burton Park Wanderers on Saturday, Rob has proved his weight in gold hasn't he since arriving at McMullen Park and fully justified Chairman Peter McCormack's shrewd decision to appoint him:

There shouldn't be any slip ups this evening should there, enjoy the live stream to those watching around the World:

Rob Sinclair's men have one foot in the Final of the Bedfordshire FA Senior Trophy as they lead 3-1 after 65 minutes with goals from, who else, Jordan Brown and a brace from Tom Hitchcock. I see that Bedfordshire County League Premier Division Elstow Abbey are currently leading 1-0 at Totternhoe in the other Semi Final however let's hope it can still be an all SSML Final.

There is a Bitcoin Meet Up at McMullen Park tomorrow at noon prior to the proceedings against Northampton Sileby Rangers, it's free to attend but a match ticket is £6.00 with a special package for groundhoppers at £9.00, this includes a match ticket, programme, food and drink:

Brief panic over, Rob SincIair's men have restored their two goal advantage through an audacious Jim Burnside strike, 3-1:

The Real Bedford starting line-up was Tyler McGregor, Claston Gordon, Matt Clifford, Luke Knight ©, James Ducket, Jack Uttridge, Eddie Corbit, Andy Sinclair, Dan Walker, James Burnside, and, who else, Jordan Brown:

Good news, it seems like selfish Ampthill Town are going to get their comeuppance this afternoon, Real Bedford have taken the lead after just nine minutes through Luke Knight:

It's 'criminal' of Ampthill Town isn't it who have gone right down in everyone's estimation, I wonder why they refused. At least there's a match programme:

RallyInRaleigh - Yes, you have to wonder why more than just four Club's couldn't get their games on, I know there is no under soil heating at this level but 'where there's a will there's a way' isn't there:

It's poor Karen I feeI the most sorry for having to re-arrange aII of those fixtures particuIary as the County Cup ties taKe precedence over League fixtures.

The fixture at Wellingborough Whitworth is one of the very few still on this afternoon despite the elements, it will be an interesting contest:

We seem to have forgotten that there is a League fixture tomorrow evening at Thame United Reserves which means there wiII be a Iive stream:

See a report on the tie, what a 'cuIture shock' for Rob SincIair's men who wiII now traveI to AFC Caddington in the Quarter FinaIs of the competition:

Here are the live stream highlights from the comfortabIe 4-0 win yesterday over London Tigers:  

Bedford Ladies entertain Harlow Town Ladies this afternoon in what should be an interesting Eastern Region Women's League Premier Division encounter. There is huge potential for the Ladies to progress a lot further under the leadership of Real Bedford Chairman Peter McCormack as they were just left 'to rot' when under the Bedford Town umbrella and going nowhere, you really have to hand it to Mr McCormack don't you for what he has already achieved at McMullen Park in a short space of time, it's truly incredible:
