"We've got a very congested fixture list coming up due to all the home games being called off. It's crazy. We're good at home, so hopefully the game [against Stratford] will be on. We get a few through the door and we put on a good performance for everybody. Usually you play a max two away games and then you're back in front of your own supporters, so it's definitely been a weird time but we've done really well."
"Our fans are brilliant, and have been at every game they've come to away from home of late, but we need to get back home, get a big crowd and take the game to Stratford on Tuesday. I've asked them to be on this journey with us. It's going to be difficult - probably not what they were used to last season - but stick with the lads and see where the season ends."
Kettering Town is set to play their first home game of 2026 on Tuesday against Stratford Town, marking their return to Latimer Park after 73 days without a home fixture. Waterlogged pitch conditions forced multiple postponements, creating a backlog of 10 home games among their 13 remaining Southern League Premier Central matches. Striker Eddie Panter, who joined in November, has only played three home matches due to weather disruptions. Manager Liam McDonald emphasizes the importance of home support and winning home games to maintain playoff hopes. Currently 12th in the table, 10 points below the top five, Kettering has up to four games in hand on rivals following a recent 1-1 draw at Stourbridge.
