Every 90 minutes, 25 households are made homeless in Britain.

Leamington FC are delighted to be taking part in Shelter's #NoHomeKit campaign and will be wearing our Royal Blue away kit on Boxing Day as we play Gloucester City at Your Co-op Community Stadium. Brakes fans are also encouraged to wear something blue whilst watching the game and, if they can, to donate to Shelter's campaign by donsating on this link or texting HOME to 70544.

The following are messages from Shelter:

"Home stadium. Home colours. Home game. The football community knows the importance of home. But this year, thousands of people will be spending Christmas in dingy hostels, on friends’ sofas, or even sleeping in freezing cars. This is something we can’t ignore. This Christmas, we're making a stand. Clubs and fans up and down the football pyramid are taking part in #NoHomeKit and swapping their home colours for an away or third kit to raise money and show support for those with no safe place to call home."

"Whether you’re watching at the ground or from your sofa, join the movement fighting to defend the right to a safe, secure and affordable home for everyone."

Following Banbury United's win over Bognor Regis Town in the Isuzu FA Trophy, we can confirm that our scheduled fixture at the Banbury Plant Hire Community Stadium has been postponed.

The Puritans will host Coalville Town instead, after they knocked out National League Chesterfield.

A rearranged date will be confirmed in due course.

We can confirm dates for our away trip to Farsley Celtic and home clash with Buxton after both fixtures fell foul to the weather.

Brakes will make the journey to the Citadel on Tuesday 17 January, 7:45 kick off, to face off with Farsley Celtic.

Tuesday 7th February is the day that Buxton travel down to Warwickshire, with the game kicking off at 7:45 at Your Co-op Community Stadium.

Tuesday night's fixture against Buxton has been postponed due to a frozen pitch following a pitch inspection.

A rearranged date will be confirmed in due course.

Brakes' next game is on Saturday as Tamworth host FA Trophy Third Round action. Tamworth play on an artificial pitch so we are hopeful the game will go ahead, we will update on social media and our website if we hear otherwise.

Following a pitch inspection, we can confirm that tomorrow's Vanarama National League North fixture away at Farsley Celtic has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

A rearranged date will be confirmed in due course.

The National League Board is pleased to be in a position to provide a streaming update following a Board meeting on Wednesday 30 November.

As you are aware, the National League Board recently announced its intention to pursue the implementation of a streaming platform in the second half of the current season.

A huge amount of work has been ongoing behind-the-scenes with the League now in a position to announce a soft launch of the streaming platform on Saturday 10 December with a full launch two weeks later.

The first phase of the launch will see streaming introduced for National Division clubs only while the League works with North and South clubs running pilot events in the second half of the season to ensure logistically it can be delivered for North and South Divisions for the 2023/24 season.

The National League would again like to reiterate its commitment to providing a quality streaming platform that benefits all 72 Member Clubs.

Thanks must go to BT Sport and title sponsors Vanarama for their continued support.

Further updates around pricing and sign-up activity will be announced shortly.

Paul Holleran has confirmed that Tom Hewlett has returned to Burton Albion, whilst James Mace will be joining Southern Premier Central side Stratford Town on dual-registration.

Hewlett made ten appearances in total on loan from Burton Albion, scoring three times - most notably an 87th minute penalty to defeat AFC Fylde.

We'd like to thank Tom for his efforts in the gold and black.

Holleran also confirmed that James Mace will be joining Stratford Town on a dual-registration deal in order to get some game time under his belt.

The 37 year old will join up with former Brakes defender Paul McCone at the Arden Garages Stadium, with the Bards currently sitting eighteenth in the Southern Premier League Central. Everyone wishes Macey all the best for his spell in Tiddington.
