Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to the Premier Plus Stadium for today's Pitching-In Northern Premier League Midland Division game.

Today we extend a warm welcome to the Players, Officials and Supporters of Shepshed Dynamo and we hope your brief stay with us here in St Neots is an enjoyable one.

As I'm sitting penning these notes, the temperature has once again tumbled to below freezing for about the nine hundredth day running but looking at the weather forecast for Saturday, I've got to say that its looking optimistic that we may have some football. There's nothing wrong with sitting infront of the TV watching Jeff Stelling and his team bring you all the latest scores from up and down the country but you just can't beat the thrill and buzz of a non league matchday.

Three weeks without a competitive fixture certainly isn't ideal just as we had hit a bit of good form but unfortunately we have no say in what Mother Nature has in her plans. This past weekend saw lots of games cancelled, not just in the non league game but also in the EFL and Women's Super League. Chelsea Women managed to start their game versus Liverpool however it was clear to see from the very first seconds that this game was never going to go the full distance and it was halted by referee Neil Hair (a welcome and regular visitor who officiates during our pre season games) after just seven or eight minutes. Another game, on Saturday, saw Posh have their game at home to Charlton Athletic pulled by the referee at 1:50pm due to frozen ground. It's never an easy process / decision for the match officials pulling a game, lots of things to take into account, players' safety being paramount of course. Let's hope we are all learning as we go along. no matter what level we play at.

Another tough game today against a team that beat us 3-1 back in December. As always, get behind the boys from the first whistle.

Pump Up The Volume
