Basingstoke T – Sat 27 Feb -KO 3.00pm

We welcome Basingstoke Town to the Freebets.co.uk Stadium this Saturday for our latest Vanarama National League South fixture kick-off 3.00pm.

Our visitors are presently sitting in one of the relegation places having gained 25 points from their 30 games played (W 6, D 7, L 17, scoring 29 and conceding 51). Last Saturday they notched their 6^th win of the season when they beat Maidenhead United td at home 2-1.

The Stones management team and squad will be looking to build on the excellent team performance last Saturday in North Somerset where they overcame Weston-super-Mare 2-1 in pretty horrible conditions. At the time of writing no squad news was available, North, Hamblin & Smith are still on the road to recovery and Jonny Wright will be available as his one match suspension for the 2 yellow cards against Oxford City starts on Monday 29 Feb.

Get behind the lads from the off and make plenty of noise for the 90+ minutes as we go in search of another 3 points on Saturday.

Please note, parking in the main car park is  now limited to players, officials, staff and club guests on match days, please therefore park in the side streets near to the ground or use  one of the  pay & display car parks which are within 10–12 minutes walk of  the stadium (see map HERE for assistance). Please be aware the Local Hillingdon Traffic Enforcement Department will be out and about and if you happen to park your vehicle inappropriately in the one of  the side streets you are likely to get a ticket. You have been warned!

Make sure you pick-up your match-day programme (£2.50) on your way-in to the stadium and your golden goals tickets (£1 a ticket, first goal wins £50 last goal wins £10). The @RollinKitchen will be turning out hot food & drinks from 13:30 and the tea bar in the ground will be providing hot & cold drinks and nibbles as usual.

Look out for Pete Worby by the turnstiles this Saturday as he will be selling the excellent ‘Wealdstone FC 70 Year History (1945 to 2015)’ .  Having taken Pete and Mick Fishman nearly 10 years to complete it really is the most “complete” history of Wealdstone FC that there has ever been.

Finally, the Supporters Club are planning to run a coach to the National League South game at Concord Rangers on Saturday, 5 March 2016 subject to there being enough bookings.
