The day is fine and the scene set for the
double-header of FA Vase and FA Trophy finals. Arriving at eleven thirty by way
of the train from Aylesbury, having stayed overnight near Dunstable, there is
time for a quick circuit of the stadium. It is impressively monolithic with its
high arch, bases now scuffed by the feet of those who see them as a challenge.
Still before noon, the inside of the vast
bowl is mainly empty with the red seats and green grass gleaming in the
sunshine. There are separate areas allocated for fans of the four teams
involved, as well as a neutral zone for those just out for a day’s football,
good value at £25 for the day. There is a single programme (at £5) which is reversible,
opening from either end to showcase each game.
Kick offs are scheduled for twelve fifteen
and four fifteen. Game on.
