This Tuesday we welcome Stotfold to the ASM Stadium in the Pitchin In Southern League Central Division One. This fixture was due to be played on 7 December but the rain put paid to that and the game was called off due to a waterlogged pitch, so this will be our first meeting this season. Last season Thame did the double over our visitors winning 2 - 1 at the ASM Stadium then 2- 0 away in Stotfold. Its been a difficult season for our latest opponents, currently sitting just above the relegation zone with just six wins from twenty three games played so far, after a credible first season at step four last season finishing seventhin the table. They have had only one win in their last twelve games but the last two games have seen good draws against Barton Rovers and Kings Langley. Meanwhile Thame have bounced back after two defeats at the start of the year with three straight wins, beating North Leigh at home 3 - 1, then away wins at Kidlington 0 - 3 and Hertford Town 1 - 2, a draw or win would see Thame move into the play off positions.
