We are now taking bookings for all the remaining 5 away matches this season so if you want to book on any of the coaches to the following matches then please contact either me or Patrick (via Twitter or Facebook).

Port Vale - Saturday 14th March - departs 7.30am, buffet stop at the Cross Keys, Castle Donington – we aim to have a comfort stop at Watford Gap services on the M1 (this is subject to timing and Traffic conditions). The match tickets now available from the club office – again they increase by £2.00 on the day.

Swindon - Saturday 21st Match - departs 11.30am (no buffet stop), there will be no buffet stop for this game, match tickets now available from the club office with no increase on the day.

Morecambe - (full details see below),

Cheltenham - Monday 13th April - departs 9.00am – (Easter Monday) buffet stop has yet to be decided

And then finally Mansfield - Saturday 25th April - departs 8.00am - buffet stop at the Cross Keys, Castle Donington - also depending on kick off time which could change if one of the League 2 matches is selected to be shown live on TV - this is our last game of the season.

Our overnight trip to Morecambe is going well, we need to confirm with the hotel by the 24th March if you want to book on then please again contact us - cost of the trip is £70.00 - which includes Coach, Overnight B & B in Morecambe - and a great evening out in the town after the game - or whatever you want to do for the evening. We depart from the stadium at 6.00am for the trip up and will stop at the M6 toll services before heading for Morecambe, hopefully arriving just after midday to book into the Hotel. We stay at the Clifton which is on the sea front and about a 10 minute walk to the stadium. You can provisionally on book your coach and room now but we will need a £30.00 deposit before we can confirm your place on the trip. Sorry but there will be no "there and back on the day" transport for this game.

I will be in Redz before any of the home matches if you want to book on any of the above coaches or pay your Morecambe deposit - if you have any questions about the away trips then don't hesitate in asking.

We will update the coaches as necessary over the next few weeks as the games get closer.

As you have probably already heard all EFL matches have been postponed until the 3rd April – therefore our away matches against Port Vale tomorrow, and next Saturday at Swindon are now off – including our home matches against Newport County and Cambridge United. With the EFL and Club statement our next game is scheduled to be the away match at Morecambe on the 4th April our overnight trip. But with the players only due back on the 3rd April, to be honest I also can’t see the Morecambe being played as the teams will need a certain amount of time to train and get back to fitness. We will have to wait and see what the updated information is as we get closer to the 4th April.

I would like to thank both Premier Transport and the Cross Keys at Castle Donington who have been very understanding about this extremely late postponement of the match tomorrow, we have also been able to cancel our buffet that had been arranged.

Those supporters who have paid for their seats on the coaches to Port Vale and Swindon can either have a refund or put the money towards any future away games, just let me know what you want to do. We will now remove all the names of those booked onto the coaches for Port Vale and Swindon so when they are re-arranged you will need to re-book your seats if you want to travel.

For Morecambe we will have to wait to consider what the options are - I am going to send an E mail to the hotel today to put things on hold for the time being – at the moment we have not paid out any monies so those who have paid deposits or the full amount we will hold onto until we know what is going to happen to the fixtures on the 4th April, and then give it some thought and let you know the options we are thinking off.

As soon as we get updated news about a re-start to the games and the re-arranged fixtures we will let you know our arrangements for away travel.

We all hope that this situation will soon be over and we can get back to supporting the team both at home and away.

If you have any questions about the away travel cancellations then please ask.

Hi All,

With the League announcement this afternoon we can now cancel all the supporters coaches booked for the remainder of the season as the postponement is now until the end of April at the earliest. We will now removed all bookings for all the remaining matches. Once we hear when the games have re-arranged dates we will ask you to start re-booking on the coaches for these matches - Port Vale, Swindon, Morecambe, Cheltenham and Mansfield – what we would say is that Morecambe is still likely to be an overnight trip – even if on a Tuesday evening.

Any supporters who pre-paid monies for these games that have yet to be played can be either have it returned or put to other away games when they are played in the future. All we do know is that the EFL are planning to complete these matches for the season to end.

The football club have already cancelled the end of season’s awards night – it was a great event last season thoroughly enjoyed by all those who attended – the club are still going ahead with organising voting for the various awards so look out for this on their website. Hopefully we will be asked to organise the away player of the season as we have previously.

We are now all in a state of limbo – waiting for the next news updates that will come out of the Club and the League. It’s a really difficult period for the club and we all sincerely hope that they get through this time unscathed.

We would like to wish Aiden Parfitt a happy 21st birthday, I know some of us were going to his celebration on Friday evening which has now been postponed – we’ll have a good time when we can all meet up later in the summer.

The CTSA football tournament has also been cancelled so this year we will not be able to put our teams in – so you have now a year to get your fitness levels up.

For now it’s getting those jobs done that I have been putting off – decorating, clearing out the garage. The sooner we can get back to a normal life and the football starts again the better. As a friend of mine said it’s a bit like something out of a film – no doubt in the future it will be.

Our best wishes go out to all of you at this time and hope to see each and everyone of you at the next home game whenever that is.

Regards

Alain
