At Solihull on Saturday I had the misfortune to be standing in the vicinity of a Boston Utd supporter who made me ashamed to be associated with someone that wears a replica Boston Utd shirt.
I don't know the persons name but he was short, about 5ft 6, very overweight and was wearing a white, long-sleeved Boston Utd shirt. I've seen him at away games before but have never spoken to him.
During the second half he stood next to the Boston dug-out and constantly hurled abuse at the players and officials. This included Lee Canoville. At one point I heard him use at least eight swear words in one sentence, before preceeding to shout 'nig-nog' at the Japanese ref. All of this was in ear-shot of the Boston United bench. At one point the Boston physio spoke to him to try and calm him down but god knows what some of the others thought. I just hope they don't think all Boston fans are like him.
I don't know the 'supporter's' name but I am sure he is known to regular travelling fans. If any steward / police had been in the vicinity there is no way he would have been allowed to stay in the ground.
It was a rubbish game on Saturday and we hardly created a chance but I don't really mind as that's football. If we won every week we would be in the Premier League (providing we had an all-seater stadium).
