Went there last season. The Bar is in the corner by the away supporters entrance. Was welcomed by the stewards etc. So you should be OK.

Might be easier to get in now it's a bit less covidy

Probably my favourite away game of last seasons league campaign, not a great performance but so much drama and suspense in the second half leading to a 3-3 draw in January.
Stevenage are going well this season under Steve Evans (I don’t think we’ve ever come up against him before) so I’m expecting a tough encounter but ever hopeful we can get something there.

Not on Twitter but apparently all PL and EFL games this weekend are OFF.

Conicidentally, a lot of games due this weekend were localish derbies anyway e.g. Rochdale v Salford, Crawley v Gills, AFC v Orient, Swindon v Newport, Mansfield v Bradford, Walsall v Northampton.
The big loser in this is Colchester who now have to travel to Barrow midweek.

It does seem strange you can go to the Boom boom tonight or the cinema tomorrow but not watch a football game this weekend.

It does seem strange you can go to the Boom boom tonight or the cinema tomorrow but not watch a football game this weekend. It's at the discretion of the relevant bodies, organisers and businesses. I think it's less odd when one notes that The Duke of Cambridge is the patron of the FA. Although each one of those will make their own decision, and whatever one they make, it's probably not to time to do anything but respect it.

I think it’s to do with drawing police resources to London to deal with the crowds. Makes sense that this limits capacity to deal with football matches. Hopefully not an issue for Tues and we can crack on with that one. Any idea when we get decision as I’m holding on ticket purchase etc?!

We are on a campsite in Lincolnshire and last night's entertainment was cancelled. Tonight goes ahead though.

The league have indicated that fixtures will recommence on Tuesday, so as things stand the game at Swindon goes ahead as scheduled.
