Bedworth’s highest attendance this season was 328 for the visit of Halesowen.There’s a good chance that the Halesowen attendance could be beaten this Saturday as we are likely to take around 150 supporters. There will be around 80 on the two Supporters Group coaches and many more making their own way. If you’re travelling by car, Bedworth’s ground (CV12 8NN) is on the outskirts of Coventry and it’s only one hour away.  M1 and M69 takes you within 7 miles of the ground. 

Here are a few Google reviews of The Bedworth’s Oval ground and facilities :
Jonathan Randle  2 months ago  Hadn't been in a while, I used to go with my dad when I was a kid and went with my dad and 6 year old daughter today (she surprisingly enjoyed it) it was great to see the club hasn't changed much apart from a new playing surface, still nice grub and a cuppa, my dad even had a mug of bovril, the game itself was entertaining, as was the language from both sets of coaching staff, 3 goals and 2 red cards unfortunately Bedworth were the losing team but a cracking afternoon 👍 
James Farnhill  2 months ago  This was a great facility for my daughter's football tournament. The pitch was, apparently, great and the spectating facilities were good. About the only difficult bit was that access was via the car park so I ended up wandering all the way round the fence to Miners Welfare Park to find the entry! It also struck me as quite a small car park on match day although for the event I went to it was fine. 
Dave Evans  7 months ago  The new bar adds so much to an already class football facility   one of the best in the our league  ( unless you prefer a grass pitch) 
Kelly Starkey  10 months ago  Friendly club with great facilities 
Andrew Parsons  a year ago  The new clubhouse is quality. Nice big bar area with superb conference facilities, will be excellent to watch a non league match once COVID sods off 
Mark Welch  a year ago  Excellent facility that has undergone a transformation that will surprise many who haven't visited since 2018.An excellent clubhouse with modern fixtures and fittings which will appeal to everyone visiting.Absolutely worth a visit...and a COVID safe policy will greet you.

Bedworth v Ilkeston  -  Sat 16 Apr 2022 

As the season draws to its close, all results become important. This is particularly so for teams involved in promotion and relegation.  

Ilkeston, Halesowen, Chasetown and Stamford are seeking the automatic promotion spot hoping they can win and the others will falter.  

The final playoff position is contested by Belper and Carlton. Carlton’s win at Belper last week gives them an outside of catching the Nailers but they need to make up a 4 point deficit in their remaining  3 matches. 

Sporting Khalsa who were promoted from Step 4 have had a better than expected season. They are currently 8th, three points behind Coleshill. 

Only eight points separate Cambridge in 9th place and Corby who are 15th so all of those mid-table teams will be trying to finish as high as possible. 

At the bottom it’s between Histon and Wisbech for who can avoid automatic relegation. Histon are currently 3 points ahead of Wisbech 

Here are this Saturday’s fixtures

From West Midlands Express & Star :

Title-chasers Halesowen and Chasetown in need of favours to boost hopes 

It is a big weekend in the race for the Northern Premier,  Midlands title – though both Chasetown and Halesowen Town are desperate for favours from elsewhere. 

The duo trail Ilkeston Town by three points with three games remaining, and both have an inferior goal difference.So while the Scholars and the Yeltz will be hoping to triumph at Wisbech Town (3pm) and Belper Town (1pm), respectively, they will be just as interested in Ilkeston’s trip to Bedworth United.

Elsewhere in the division, Sporting Khalsa are at home to Loughborough Dynamo (12..30pm).

And Belper still need points to secure a play-off spot, so Halesowen have got a tough game this afternoon.
We've just got to take care of our own business though. Just hope tinkerman Gandi's luck holds for another couple of games.

Shot by Lockett goes over the bar.  Great dummy by Thomas puts Ollie in but Bedworth clear. Great work by Irvine wins us corner. And another corner. And another corner. Ref gives Bedworth a free kick.        0-0      27 mins

Against the run of play but we're behind.   All to do now. Bedworth's very tall keeper is catching everything.
