Bedford Town FC

Bedford Town Football Club 2021 Championship fixtures announced

By the time you read this Boris Johnson should have made his post lockdown statement, and hopefully the Southern League will also have decided what is to happen to Bedford Town’s season. It is likely there will be no more football at the Eyrie this season; and again, like last year this season will be declared null and void.

There is however brighter news on the horizon for next season with Bedford Town and Biggleswade FC agreeing to groundshare at the Eyrie until such a time as Biggleswade’s new Central Bedfordshire home is completed. As that project is yet to start, Bedford could be hosts to the fellow Southern League Division One Central side for the next two or three seasons potentially.

With Bedford Ladies continuing their Sunday matches it will mean the Eyrie open for matches on multiple days of the week. Saturday home league games will likely alternate between the teams, while the Eagles will have first choice of cup fixtures. Midweek home matches for the Eagles will continue to be on a Tuesday, with Biggleswade moving theirs to Wednesday nights.

The arrangement is a positive move for both clubs as it ensures Biggleswade have a home, brings additional income into the Eyrie for the Eagles after two exceedingly difficult seasons, and finally for the fans it gives them additional days of top non-league football in the town The fixtures for the 2021 Greene King IPA Championship season have been announced as Bedford Blues return to action after a 12-month absence.

Bedford will open their Championship account with a trip to Butts Park Arena to renew old rivalries against Coventry before beginning their home campaign with the visit of Hartpury in Round Two.

The other home fixtures see Jersey Reds, Richmond and Ealing Trailfinders also head to Goldington Road before a mouth-watering final day clash against near neighbours, Ampthill, in the battle of Bedfordshire to conclude the regular campaign.

The Blues will travel to Cornish Pirates, Saracens, Doncaster Knights and Nottingham following the curtain raiser against Coventry.
