Do you refer to the one they call ISIHAC?

;D Hello. "waves" I am here. I'm not often here these days, but i will behave now if you are going to pop in. Folks, a cuckoo is a Yaxley follower. I went there yesterday to witness a home defeat at the first possible stage of the FA Cup (1 - 2 to Rothwell Corinthians) This particular Cuckoo does have an allegiance elsewhere, but I'll leave him to explain or forever hold his peace. Afternoon - it was a harsh result yesterday, but the hospitality was typical of the UC League; loads of effort, smiles, time given freely and one of the most interesting tannoy announcers I have encountered anywhere!

Ooh hello, Jimmythecuckoo.
I know Yaxley quite well as I had the misfortune to be married to a bloke from Peterborough for a number of years and our prefered choice of route to visit the outlaws was via Norman Cross and through Yaxley. In fact, if we'd taken that route, the tinpotter's visit oop north a few weeks ago would probably have been somewhat shorter if we'd taken that route as we got caught in traffic on the Parkway system.
Anyway, any friend of ISIHAC's is a friend of ours. Welcome to the Tinpot Terrace.

Where do I start? Born and raised in Yaxley, I followed them in the Peterborough league as a boy. My family always used to holiday in South Dorset which is where I moved after education. Once there I started to watch Weymouth and TerrasBlog was born after one of their numerous financial meltodowns. www.oleole.com/blogs/hunts-terras-terrasblogNow having moved back to Yaxley I am trying to balance both clubs. My best bit on tinpottery to date (and there has been plenty as ISIHAC will testify from 20 minutes talking to my accomplaice Tim and I) has been recently diverting some of my fiancee and my wedding funds towards helping the Cuckoos build new dug outs (they are that skinto!). Hope this fills in the gaps!

Since you grew up in Yaxley, I find myself wondering whether you know my friend Duncan, although he's a little bit younger than you

I did point my phone in the general direction of said shambles, yes! And those dugouts. We all know that yer dugout is created according to various pointless regulations and must comply with ever more dubious requirements as the team progresses; but surely a roof is a general and all encompassing requirement?? I did note that the insides appear suited to benches and not tippy-up seats. That's probably a wise move given the location of the club and the amount of travelling the next level would bring.

Jimmy, Welcome to the Terrace. Yaxley will be placed on my list of places to visit. (With about a million other teams!)
Hawkie, I trust you will be displaying said photos?

If he does I want no criticism of the dugouts. Diverting money from the wedding saving could have got my missus angry
