Arlesey is a small industrial town and civil parish in the district of Central Bedfordshire in Bedfordshire. It is located near the border with Hertfordshire, about three miles north-west of Letchworth Garden City, four miles north of Hitchin and six miles south of Biggleswade. Arlesey railway station provides train services to London, Peterborough and Stevenage. The station opened in 1988 under Network South East. The old station was called Arlesey & Henlow and was shut to passengers in the 1960's. Arlesey Town Football Club has their ground to the south of the town.
The Domesday Book mentions Arlesey as a market town. Residents have claimed it to be the longest town in Britain[citation needed].
St Peter's Church, situated in the Church End part of the town, was built in the 12th century by the monks of Waltham Abbey. Arlesey was the site of Etonbury Castle, of which little trace remains.
Arlesey Old Moat and Glebe Meadows nature reserves are just north of the town.
Major employers in Arlesey used to be the Fairfield Hospital (now re-developed as Fairfield Park) and the former brickworks (producers of the Arlesey Whites bricks seen in many local buildings). Some of the clay pits used by the brickworks are now lakes and there are also two disused Portland Cement Company chalk pits, one of which is the Blue Lagoon, which hosts fishing and sailing clubs. Although the lake is private, large numbers of people go there to swim. There have been a number of drownings that have been reported in the national news. In 2001 three children died when the car they were in was accidentally driven into the lake.[2] Most recently a teenager drowned while swimming in April 2007.[3]

Hoping you're joking...

coundonskyblue · Oct 21, 2012

Bedworth lost to them 1-0, they must be good!

skybluelee · Oct 21, 2012

Same league as weymouth. Awful standard of football.

100 miles from Cov. · Oct 21, 2012

If it was at their place it would have been on tv. Not at ours.

coundonskyblue · Oct 21, 2012

They'll be loving playing at the Ricoh. If they had got Nuneaton it would have been a big draw!

spwaverley4916 · Oct 21, 2012

do you think that the crowd will top 2000? - shame its not at their place the atmosphere would have been a lot better (atleast the ground would have been full with about 400 sky blue army gooing there

coundonskyblue · Oct 21, 2012

Lets hope it doesnt go to a reply. Theres no way our bunch of losers would have the mental strength to win there!

The Reverend Skyblue · Oct 21, 2012

I said when i saw there name in the draw, that i'd love to draw Arlesey away as in the early eighties i played there loads of times when i used to play for Brackley Town in the United Counties league. There was a main line railtrack that ran along one side of the ground, and when a train hurtled past, if the driver sounded his horn it made you jump out your skin.

Hopefully they won't get a replay,if they do it will be regarded a disaster ,as there ground was very basic, back then there was just a tiny stand , so if there still at the same ground it will be a lot of standing if we have to go there, though they have got to a higher standard now so they might have built up the ground a bit.It was just amazing that when i saw there name at the start of the draw, i said to the missus i would love to go there again, and they came out, though we have them at home

It also really hit home how low we have gone, when you see so many little town sides in the same draw as the once mighty skyblues.I've got to say if we don't put more than five past them it will be a bad day at the office

pusbccfc · Oct 21, 2012

No replay. We'll lose anyway!

MusicDating · Oct 21, 2012

I'm guessing that we don't know much about them as no one's spelled their name right yet...

cornoccfc · Oct 21, 2012

Better not turn up for this one. Don't want anyone accusing me of jumping on the bandwagon

"My mum says if you dont drink your milk and play to your full potential, instead of walking around the pitch not caring, you will only be good enough to play against Arlesley Town"

"Arlesley Town, who are they ?"

"Exactly"
