After the thrilling game at Chalfont, Manager Steve Bateman will be looking for the side to bounce back tomorrow at Arlesey Town. Having been in the Southern League Premier for four years "The Blues" were relegated last season finishing 22nd and their start to life in the Central Division hasn't been easy, with two defeats in their first two games. Defeat away at Northwood on the opening day was followed by the midweek defeat away at Leighton Town.

Arlesey are managed by brothers Zema and Nathan Abbey who have been busy in the close season. One of their recruits was ex Mole David Deeney who played at the back end of last year along with his brother Ashley who joined from Daventry Town.

The club was formed in 1891. They initially played in the Biggleswade & District League, before joining the Bedfordshire County League in 1922. They left the league in 1926, but returned for a single season in 1927. They subsequently played in the Parthenon League, before joining the London League in 1958. After leaving the London League in 1960, the club became a member of Division One of the South Midlands League (a renamed Bedfordshire County League) in 1961.

In 1982–83 the club moved to the United Counties League, winning the Premier Division in 1984–85. Rising costs forced Arlesey to resign from the United Counties Football League, moving back to the South Midlands League in 1991–92. 1994–95 saw the club win the league with a record 107 points, and then better this achievement by beating Oxford City in the final of the FA Vase at Wembley Stadium. The Blues' fifth South Midlands League championship followed in 1999–2000, and Arlesey were promoted to Division Three of the Isthmian League. Their first season in this new division was a success with the club losing just two matches in the process of winning the league, scoring an Isthmian League record of 138 goals with a record 100+ goal difference and earning promotion to Division Two. In 2006 the club were moved transferred to Division One North of the Isthmian League, before being transferred back to the Midland Division of the Southern League in 2008.

In 2010–11 the club won Division One Central of the Southern League, earning promotion to the Premier Division. In 2011–12 the club reached the first round proper of the FA Cup for the first time, where they lost 3–1 at Salisbury City. They repeated the feat the following season, losing 3–0 to Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena.

After four years in the Premier Division, Arlesey Town were relegated during the 2014-15 season, finishing in 22nd place.

Manager Steve Bateman will be without Assistant Manager Adam Logie and coach Fraser McLachlan but should have a full squad to choose from
