Didcot‘s current form shows just a solitary win in their last six outings, a narrow 2-1 victory away at Wantage. They have collected draws from games with Bedford Town and Aylesbury United in that time as well. The Diddy Men sit one place and two points ahead of Kempston in the current table. Apart from Wantage (with 9), Didcot’s fourteen league goals this season is the lowest tally in the division.
Kempston will be without Jordan Wright for this fixture as his suspension kicks in, Carl Knox is hoping to be fit for this game having missed the previous two matches. Rovers are hoping to confirm at least one new signing ahead of this fixture as the club are in negotiations with several targets.
Basic directions;
Take the A421 toward Milton Keynes. Go through the New City, following A421 Buckingham. At the roundabout at Finmere Aerodrome, follow the A4421 toward Bicester (first exit). Turn right (3rd exit) to get on to the A4095 at the roundabout, follow this around the edge of Bicester. Continue around the town, using the B4030, heading toward the A41. Join the A41, crossing the M40 to join the A34. Go past both Oxford and Abingdon on this road, then take the exit signposted for the A4130 Didcot, taking the second exit (left but not sharp left) at the junction roundabout. At the next roundabout, take the first exit to cross over the railway. Go straight over the next three roundabouts, at the fourth roundabout, take the right hand turning, signposted for the football club. Cross over the next roundabout and the entrance to the ground is on the right. There is a large car park at the ground, which is more than adequate for our visit.
