By my calculations we are now in the driving seat and not relying on others to slip up..............they have slipped up big time! We can get 79 points if we win at Marine and Guiseley can get 79 points if they win their two remaining matches but....we have a vastly superior goal difference. BPA can get 78 points if they win their two remaining games so it's up to us at Marine.

Brilliant performance today. I returned from watching Tears for Fears and Spandau Ballet in Concert at Sandalford Winery here in Perth and discovered that we were 1-0 down into the second half but..................divine intervention was beyond my wildest dreams and how ironic that the goal that put us ahead was scored by.........................Church!

By the way I got the score correct but underestimated the attendance, pleasantly surprised and pleased to be wrong.

Rocking Rev, just back home as im out tonight but;very proud to be a Boston fan.Great second half great support, great weather and atmosphere.

And at the end Boston fans went on to pitch and applauded what can only be said an away support second to none in the non league, at any level for singing, banter and getting behind a team.

A very happy punter, and my brother Dale says hello.

Heres to Marine

Cheers Freiston Fan.

It was a magnificent gesture by our fans to applaud the fans of FCUM. I would have expected nothing less from the Pride of Bostonshire.

Please pass on my kind regards to Dale and all my friends in and around the capital of the County!

Fantastic afternoon, unbelieveable stuff, great atmosphere, weather everything.

Almost perfect results aswell, and an attendance of 2500, is that the biggest of the season not only for the unibond but all of step 3?

Great performance today. First half we just couldn't quite get the final ball right and when we did Spencer kept missing the chances (3 in the first half you'd fancy him to score). Apart from their goal, which was a belter btw, we dominated possession and chances. Second half was more of the same and it was only a matter of time before they cracked. Once the first went in, which was another screamer from Canners of all people there was only ever going to be one winner. Church capped for me a MOTM performance with a great goal of his own and Spence made up for earlier misses after great work by Yates.

Credit to their fans a great bunch as per usual, also a good turnout from our lot. Just need one more big effort at Marine but whatever happens what a great season, think there'll be 700+ make the journey with us needing the win to win the league.

no it was 2400, we just beat it.

It says it was only 1, 170 now, typical UniDump, but today might be the highest in the unibond premier, and it was the biggest since Torquay, our last home game in the league, but it beat several of our home games in the FL.

Another fantastic effort today towards promotion. Started off shakey, FCUM were quite a physical team shoving us off the ball. Great free kick by them to take the lead. After a while we seemed to realise we needed to be stronger and play our own game. Credit to the players, they carried on batttling away and pushing forwards. As Woad Pilgrim mentioned, it was the final touch that just didn't happen and how Spence didn't get a goal before the first half is beyond me. The managers made the wise decision of changing things 2nd half and that worked wonders by putting Danny and Yates on. We always looked liked scoring with FCUM quite happy to let us attack them. After the equaliser we ran riot and played with bags of confidence. We looked hungry for more goals and carried on playing the way we do. Only complaint is, why do we always save our best performances until we go behind, it's not good for people of a nervous dispersition lol. I guess it makes winning all that bit more sweeter on the otherhand. Loved every second of this season, never felt so happy as a Pilgrim. Whatever happens now will happen, thanks to all the players, the managers and chairman and directors for restoring this great club back to it's former self.
Happy days with BUFC

Oops, wrong opponents. They were playing Burton and got 1891 - an even crapper attendance.

Really enjoyed my day today. Overall you deserved to win but IMO 4-1 flatterd you, great noise from both sets of fans, all the best Boston and hope you make it to the Blue square north, the odd dick head from our end and the few in your end tried to mare it but the Boston fans was fantastic.

Pearson winning all the awards has made my year.  Although it would have been nice for Churchy to get one or two because this season has been a full team effort, whereas last season Millson had no competition.

If Pearson plays for us for the first league game next season, whichever league it may be, I will be absolutely amazed. He is awesome.

It was weird, suddenly everyone on the pitch raced down to the FCUM end and I thought for a moment it was all going to inexplicably kick off, then a few Boston fans started clapping the FCUM fans, who responded with applause of thier own. I turned to Johnny and said "This is one giant love in"... only for a couple of utter knobbers to try and make a break for the Town End. They were taken away by stewards, and then another tossbag was arrested by a policeman and led away down the Spayne Road terrace, copping some deserved abuse from Boston fans in the process.

Despite that, it was overwhelmingly good natured, give or take the odd wannabe - no harm done methinks.

Great day at yours , despite the result.
Respect to your stewards who handled things very well re the young uns with smoke flares etc.
A couple of prize plums amongst your fans who could have spoilt was was a great advert for non league football. I was told they were Darlington fans FFS.  good to know they were stupid infiltrators just out for a look at me moment.
Great ground and everyone of yours that we met were a good laugh with us.
Good luck with whats left of the season.

Its a shame that Crossroads is no longer on TV - your wobbly camera technique would have been a perfect match for their wobbly sets.

Seriously though, all credit and thanks to you for your efforts.
