Did you know… From its mention in the doomsday book as a simple country hamlet, boasting ‘one manor and thirty nine dwellings’, Yaxley (and neighbouring Denton) has seen a population boom. In the 1911 census 1,697 people called the town home, to the most recent 2011 census, there was a 411% rise to 9,174 residents.
In the bar The FA Cup is back on the big screens, sample the magic as Championship high flyers Brentford take on Leicester in the lunch time game. The evening kick off sees Hull City hosting Chelsea. Join us for both games in the Doug Jack Suite.
On this day in Rovers history… In 1908 Rovers dished out a thrashing to Woburn Town in a 6-0 home win.
1958 saw Rovers put seven past Wootton Blue Cross in a 7-0 win.
Rovers also scored seven goals on this day in 1964 as Raunds Town were beaten 7-3

With last weekend’s trip to Welwyn Garden City postponed, this is the first chance for the Rovers faithful to see the raft of new signings brought into the club in our own January spree. Carl Mensah made his debut at Didcot, while Jamie O’Grady was an unused substitute. Devonte Simms has been drafted in from Hitchin Town, he has been joined by Sam Gibson from Barton. Also joining the club are Jack and Kieron Eriksson, Will Mhamila and Fraelias Mienambolo. The new year is clearly signalling a new era for Kempston Rovers as manager Tony Joyce looks to implement his 2020 vision.
