AUGUST 2028 Fans were treated to a fantastic display including thousands of blue and white balloons as the Bedford Stadium hosted it's first ever league fixture, and it was a near sell-out.
Sadly though it was Watford that scored the first ever league goal at Bedford Stadium.
Nuno Silva scored a goal on his debut but the Bedford fans went home with heavy hearts. A poor display on their new home debut.
BEDFORD 1-3 Watford
After going 1-0 down early on, Cogoni netted from the penalty spot to bring Bedford back into the game. Love then bagged his first of the season, before Norwich leveled the score and then scored from the penalty spot to take all three points four minutes before full time, until.... DOMENGHINI!!!! The Italian Stallion scores a late late injury time equalizer to give us a point.
Norwich 3-3
BEDFORD Damien Love scores twice as Bedford pick up their first victory at Bedford Stadium.
BEDFORD 2-1 Brighton
Courteille gets some much needed confidence by scoring a marvellous hat-trick. Boakye comes off the bench and scores a fourth for Bedford.
AFC Wimbledon 1-4
BEDFORD (League Cup 1st Round)
Beresford makes his first start of the season due to being at the Olympic Games. He makes an instant mark by scoring a penalty in the second minute.
Everton go on the rampage and score five before half time. Courteille gets one back but that was still shocking.
Everton 5-2
BEDFORD Jeroen Jansen makes his debut after missing out the start of the season due to injury. Love scores his 100th Bedford league goal to give Bedford the win.
BEDFORD 1-0 Blackpool
A fantastic footballing display from Bedford. It's been a while since we've played this well. Love, Domenghini and Courteille get theirselves on the scoresheet.
Bolton 0-3
BEDFORD Another visit to the Reebok Stadium and another win. Nuno Silva and Courteille are on target to send Bedford into the third round.
Bolton 0-2
BEDFORD (League Cup 2nd Round)
SEPTEMBER 2028 A goal from Courteille gave Bedford a point in a game we didn't play very well.
BEDFORD 1-1 Bradford
First game in charge against the team one ranking below us; Germany. I call up a maximum of 26 players, but unable to call up two Denmark U21 players at this time. They'll definitely be in the next squad. Five of my players have never been capped, and there is only one good keeper. My gamble to have two centre backs with one cap between doesn't pay off. Substitute Stenderup scores his first international goal to claw one back.
DENMARK 1-2 Germany
Top of the table Palace demonstrate why they are top of the table with a fantastic first half performance. Bedford make one one of their infamous comebacks with goals from Courteille, sub Boakye (2) and Love.... before Palace knock in two late goals.
Crystal Palace 5-4
BEDFORD A boring game but Huddersfield sneak it late on. This season is very mediocre.
Huddersfield 1-0
BEDFORD Back to winning ways for Bedford as Courteille, Domenghini and Love all hit the net.
BEDFORD 3-1 Birmingham
Courteille and Boakye get the goals for Bedford but it was never going to be enough against the might of MK.
MK Dons 3-2
BEDFORD (League Cup 3rd Round)
That was possibly the worst performance I have ever witnessed. Beresford got our goal.
Hereford 5-1
BEDFORD So that's the first two months of the new season and we lie in 14th. We're not looking too handy this year.
Would you believe that in all my years at Bedford, I've never finished outside of a playoff position... it's true, but maybe this will be the first.
