[Ashford Grecian]

Will be travelling to this soulless place tomorrow and would be delighted with a point but have a feeling it's gonna be a tough afternoon 3-0 U's

I thought it was only midweek games that could be seen in the UK on that service.
The the ban is just on Saturday games it would appear.

And most bank holidays

Yeah, be happy with a point, score first and play a tight game and we might win it. Think we'll lose 3 0 though.

You're not missing much. It's a soulless concrete box on a bypass miles from the nearest pub. And their fans are not much better.

John the ground is next to the A12 which is a main route to the East coast it is not a bypass

Yes it is. The A12 originally used to go through the middle of Colchester (Lexden Road - Ipswich Road). Then it was bypassed in 1933 (via Cymbelline Road / Cowdray Avenue). Then even that was bypassed by the current route in 1974. So the modern A12 is actually a bypass of a bypass!

Takes me back to the times 50 or so years ago when Exeter’s MP would say

‘we don’t want a bypass to bypass the bypass. We want a motorway’
