Bamber Bridge are currently 12th, one place behind Ilkeston . They have two points less than Ilkeston but have played two games less..  7 of their 11 remaining games are at home.

Their overall record is  P29. W9. D11. L9. F50. A54. Points 38
Their home record is    P13. W5. D5. L3. F26. A28. Points 20 

Their average home attendance is 487 

Bamber Bridge bounced back from four consecutive defeats with two good away wins in their last two matches. They won by 3-1 at Morpeth and by 4-2 at Worksop last Saturday. The last time they played at home was on 27 January (5 weeks ago) when they lost to Radcliffe 5-1 and they had their biggest attendance so far, 684. 

Bamber’s best result this season was a 5-2 home win against Basford
Bamber’s worst result this season was a 7-1 home defat against Marine 
When the two teams met earlier in the season at the NMG, Ilkeston won 1-0.

SundayLive music Nick Spencer Followed by the Big Brig festival quiz. Clubhouse open from 1pm
Sponsorship If you are interested in sponsorship of a barrel of beer or a bottle of gin, please contact Daniella or Helen at the club for more information.  

 

.

There are four teams just two points below us ie Bamber Bridge, Morpeth, Workington and Gainsborough.
So in a worst case scenario we could drop from 11th to 15th if we lose at Bamber Bridge. 
Bamber are home to Ilkeston
Morpeth are away to Radcliffe
Workington are away to FC United
Gainsborough are home to Whitby 

On the other hand, an Ilkeston win at Bamber Bridge could lift us back up to 10th if Ashton lose at Matlock

Bamber Bridge's last scheduled home game v Atherton on 17 February was called off so it  looks like their home ground  is susceptible to waterlogging.

There has been a delay with this mornings pitch inspection at Bamber Bridge. We are now expecting an outcome at 9:15am.

Don't forgot your prediction matchman

Ilkeston Towns Game at Bamber Bridge has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. the referee has tried to bounce the ball on the pitch and it did not bounce plus it has started to rain again. Fans starting to negotiate how they and when they are going to get back to Ilkeston!
