Didcot Town Football Club

The Railwaymen (could it be anything else given their location) have been proudly in existence since 1907, now playing at the Loop Meadow just a few hundred yards from their old Station Road ground but on the other side of the railway line.

Bashley FC are the visitors in the Evo-Stik Southern League on Saturday 12 March and, after an encouraging season which saw Didcot reach the First Round of the FA Cup, attracting 2,707 for the game against Exeter City, supporters are encouraged to come along and ‘Pay What You Want’ for the game.

Children go free with someone making a donation and anyone donating £5 or more will be entered into a prize draw.

Speaking to The Non-League Paper this Sunday, chairman John Bailey said: "We're asking for the game against Bashley that a donation big or small is made when supporters come through the turnstiles.

"If anyone pays £5 or more then they will be entered into a draw to win a range of things - including a pair or watches and also matchday hospitality for our remaining home games."

While Didcot still have outside hopes of making the play-offs at the end of the season, it has been a hugely difficult season for their opponents on 12 March with Bashley’s 6-0 defeat at the weekend making it 140 goals conceded in 30 matches and just one point gained in the whole campaign, a similar struggle to that of New Mills AFC.
