Fleet‘s current form reads like a chapter from Jekyll and Hyde, three defeats – including a 10-0 reverse against Ashford before three straight wins with three clean sheets. Fleet have moved up the table to eighteenth ahead of the game.
Kempston are looking to be back on a roll after a bit of a shaky patch. Two successive wins, including the club’s first clean sheet since the home win against Aylesbury United in late September will add to draws against Aylesbury and Egham to see Rovers with only one defeat in their last five.
Luke Heneghan is back in the fold after an injury lay off, Jake Newman is back after his ban and Martin Conway and Alex Stoyles will be available again. Grant Fryer is on the comeback trail after his concussion while Sam Macrae remains a long term absentee.
Basic directions;
Head south on the M1, take the M25 toward Heathrow. On the M25, use J13 and take the M3. On the M3, take exit 4a for Fleet and the A327. Follow signs for Fleet and the station. Continue past the station and stay on this road for one and half miles. The entrance to the ground is on the right between some houses. Keep your eyes peeled, it is very easy to miss. There is ample parking at the ground.
