Contact Ken Leese on 07935 723290, or see him after each home game in the Strikers Bar. Afternoon all. After a long, drab, very wet stormy winter, the first day of spring did not disappoint with glorious sunshine and some lovely countryside on our way to play Boston United last Saturday. Boston is a small town and port on the tidal reaches of the river Witham in Lincolnshire, whose namesake named by emigrants from the area in America is slightly better known. This was my first visit to The Jakemans Stadium and I have to say it was a joy to see an old ground with so much character and history. Yes, modern stadia are obviously safer with much better amenities, access etc; but they can be soulless places at times and it will be sad in some respects eventually to lose these grounds to progress. We started the game brightly but defensive errors saw us two down after only fifteen minutes play and left us with ( cliché warning ) “ a mountain to climb”. Maybe if we had scored instead of hitting the underside of the bar straight after half-time things might have been different, but as it was, having to chase the game left us open to the counter attack and Boston, who always looked dangerous going forward, added two more. It was frustrating as we had had so much of the ball. You could not fault the team and the effort they put in, but in the end Boston were worthy winners. Excellent away support again showed the very small minority of fans who so disgracefully criticised Rob and a player at our last home game how to support the team win, draw or lose. We have exceeded all our expectations in both Cup and League and are still in the promotion mix with all to play for. On a personal note, we should show the players the respect they deserve for what they have already achieved this season.
