This could be an awkward tie. Boro had a poor start, including that 0-7 defeat at Telford, but have recovered with five wins in seven. Some of their supporters already fancy their chances.

The club was issued with an eviction notice last week: www.coventrytelegraph.net/in-your-area/eviction-letter-served-home-nuneaton-27977153
There's more to this than meets the eye but building warehousing looks to be behind it. Last Tuesday's league game against Bromsgrove was played at Hinckley (att. 262). Saturday's home Trophy tie against Hyde (6th in NPLP) was switched but Boro still won.

And the club's accumulated debt has reached £750K. Same old Boro...

Boro have agreed to play our game against Alvechurch on Saturday at Stratford Town FC. Kick-off is at 3pm.

We would like to place on record our huge thanks to Stratford Town owner Jed McCrory for letting us use the pitch free of charge – a magnificent gesture in our hour of need. We would also like to thank Alvechurch and the Southern League for their co-operation.

We hope as many of the Boro faithful as possible can make the trip and get behind the boys. We are working extremely hard to rectify the current situation but this may sadly be the last time that Boro play.

Thank you for your unbelievable support.
