Title: the time has come..
Post by: Swineshead Pilgrim on April 24, 2010, 06:52:26 AM
stage one complete, stevenage to swineshead done with a massive smile all the way! i'm not going to pretend that i'm not nervous, but for the first time in a few years i've got tremendous belief in our lads and their ability to achieve what they truly deserve. 

After witnessing the pre- season mauling of spalding i had high hopes, but then the season didn't start as we would have liked. Since christmas though the lads have really shone, grinding out the results and they're on the verge of obtaining the ultimate reward.

One more game, one more passionate high tempo performance, and all the hard work that the players,managers and board have put in will pay off.

It's been a great season to be associated with bufc, lets make it a perfect one. Come on you yellows!

c'mon lads and lasses, sing your heart out for the lads. We can be the 12th, 13th and possibly 14th man. It's building up to be a cracker, setting off in 10 mins cant wait

Woke up at 5:30 could not get back to sleep.

Excited but well aware I could be a nervous wreck in 8 hours time.

We are about 30 miles away.  Been here for 2 days waiting impatiently.  Fingers crossed that the lads pull it off!

Who the hell hired that stretch limo with the United scarf flapping out the window ??  ???

Best wishes to folk like Cardiff Pilgrim .

I'm currently on the train to Liverpool - just pulling into Manchester.

Craig's managed to wangle me a photographer's pass so I'm hoping to be able to go over to the side without the stand and take photos of the two stands packed with Boston fans (as well as a few action shots). If the train's aren't too late I should be at the ground by about 14:00.

Hope Merseyside police and stewards arent going to be heavy to day . .
  Anyone remember that old 'farmer' gent who was ejected for nothing at all at Hayes . ??

 The sides look soo narrow that everyone risks gettin pranged by the Ball .
       That stand looks tempting looks fairly big , could be spare seats for the laZy coves like me . ?

I got asked if I was in possesion of a Samurai Sword by a steward before entering Hayes ground!

Post by: Swineshead Pilgrim on April 24, 2010, 12:18:05 PM
it was a joke at hayes, we bought  an amber and black flag on a stick from a vendor outside the ground, only to have the stick removed 2 minutes later by the stewards.

Post by: Maxross on April 24, 2010, 12:26:10 PM
It would have been more understandable if they'd had more than roughly 17 fans dotted round the other three sides of the ground as opposed to our 3000 odd in one stand!
