Big Game Preview
It couldn’t be any closer this matchday as third faces fourth, with both sides accruing 23 points from their opening six contests, separated by just a +15 differential on the points difference.
With a total of four sides on the same number of points, victory is critical to maintain a spot in the Champ Rugby play-offs.
Blues head into the game in imperious form with four wins in succession, but will be more than aware of the challenge that lies ahead of them against a resurgent Caldy side looking to avenge two recent defeats and secure an inaugural success at Goldington Road.
Food & Drink – New Naming Rights
Head to the ground early to avoid the queues and sample everything on offer with six public bars and four food outlets on site.
Thanks to club partners, Estrella Damm, our upstairs venue above the changing rooms has been renamed as the Legends Bar. Serving all our regular favourites, naturally including Bedford brewed Spanish lager Estrella, as well as continuing to be the venue of our post-match final whistle interview, it’s the perfect spot to warm up and settle into matchday.
Elsewhere, stay in touch with all the action from our pitchside bars dotted around the ground, including in the Genesis Fanzone, where you’ll find No.7 Coffee Hut to warm you up.
Our food outlets are operating as normal, including Taylor’s Kitchen from the Scrum Bar serving hatch, Chicken George from The Burrow after kick-off and our Sausage and Burger Huts.
Final Call Hospitality
Last chance! The only venue with remaining availability for hospitality this matchday is the CMC Marquee. Skip cooking and enjoy a two-course meal of Steak & Ale Pie followed by Black Forest Trifle. Kickstart the weekend in style by clicking below.
Additional Entertainment
For the final Friday Night Lights of 2025, we’re putting on a show for spectators on and off the pitch! As well as an intriguing battle between two form sides, we plan to warm supporters up on a cold Friday night as flames welcome our boys in blue onto the pitch.
On the closest home game to Armistice Day, we ask all supporters to join us in a moment of reflection before kick-off as a bugler plays The Last Post and Reveille.
Stick around after the game for live music from regular favourite Marc James as he performs into the evening from the CMC Marquee.
Blues Foundation Community Schools Night
We are delighted to welcome over 150 pupils from a variety of different schools this matchday. Make sure to show your support as they form the Bellway Homes Guard of Honour, hold the Blues Family flag and take a lap of the pitch at half-time.
During the game, please respect and support our pitchside ball team as the action gets underway, allowing for a great evening of fast, entertaining rugby.
