A lesson there for our club instead of the the tired old excuse of 'both clubs have to agree the price' that was trotted out when we were charged full league prices for the Haughmond tie. I'm assuming BUFC have agreed to this pricing policy, after all, we never offer discounts in the FA Cup no matter who the opposition.
Good luck in R1, because you'll have no problems seeing us off in our present form.

Always cheer me up with your negativity Andy. Alas I am afraid I have to agree with your final sentence I have predicted we will get hammered 6-1 but at least if we get there on in time I can numb the senses with cheap ale.
-
I'd say in this instance I'm being realistic, not negative.
I can't see a six goal defeat mind so there's a glimmer of positivity, but all I can see is a miserable two goal defeat with us offering precious little as an attacking force.

It confirms to me that it was Haughmond who forced through the admission prices - why shouldn't they try and make a few quid out of their cup run?

If my Prediction League forecast is a winner Mel you will think you are p*issed on the cheap ale .

We can't defend or attack and our keeper can't see a ball coming from 30yards out,so how the hell can we win a football match, well at least we will get some money out of it, let's hope it's enough to pay off the Mansfield mob.
-
Don't tar everyone with the same brush, Our keeper made a couple of great saves and if you was there (was you?) you will know that no keeper would have saved that shot.
-
Gonna be a tough game with a big crowd expected best I can hope for is somehow we get a replay.
-

I have submitted a long post on the fans facebook site so I will just give a summary here.The result and the goals are reported elsewhere so won't bother wasting time talking about them. Tactics are worth a mention, Shimanga up front alone marked by two 7ft giants towering over him must have thought it was a night match without lights not only that it was the usual lofted ball up to him, laughable. Thomas the only first half bright spark had the full back terrified (which led to our goal) but was moved to the left for the second half. Genius.
Watched as Smith prepared to come on and was shown something on a clipboard and had it explained to him, this took a couple of minutes which I found laughable as surely it just said "Get your arse in the box and create something" Not just that but these instructions were being given by, you guessed it, the goalkeeping coach.
Now this may sound strange but the players gave it their all, 100% effort the problem is the majority of them have little footballing skills or don't have a plan to play to, (I suspect the former) I leave one player out of this Jan Yeomans who scandalously is only on a six months contract and who the manager wanted to go out on loan, but he refused saying he would stay and scrap for his place, now first name on the team sheet, oh for that kind of attitude from some of the others.
Not a single shot on or off target all game says it all really. I have given Adam my backing from day one and said I will not comment on him until a dozen games in, well that time is now.I think it was a mistake to move the training so far away from Boston many of the players have no affinity with the Town and the club, they have signed for a local team to them who happen to play half their games in Boston. It needs players who are willing to put themselves out to play for BOSTON UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB as has always been the case, too many players still seem like strangers to me, and on the field to each other.
It was said yesterday the players are letting the manager down, well he employed them and such failure to judge your work force will inevitably lead to the powers that be of any organisation questioning such judgement and acting on it in some way. I fear to carry on with no cohesion will inevitably lead to relegation unless some positive action is taken. UTP.

Thanks oxo, you've hit the nail on the head with that summarisation, it's now time for both DN and AM to look at where the club is now and decide what is best for
the future. Let's hope something happens soon.

I've always said the guy is a joker he has wasted valuable resources, came out with interviews claiming players will be world beaters upon signing them.
Said we will be challenging time and time again.
Changed almost everything at the club even the dugouts.
Served up the most turgid brand of football with no direction or pattern of play.
He wanted his team and he's got it.
Loads of mates draining the life out the club.
Crowds are dwindling not surprising at what they have to watch each week.
His excuses are running out it's just not good enough and frankly never has been since he has been in charge.
Local people work hard in this area on low wages and look forward to cheering the lads on when we are at home the club is important to the local community so it's a must that the team entertain and we are dull at best.
Results in the cup have only gained Murray time the reality is they are way below the level we should be at come on wake up and let's compete in this league before it will be too late.
Change is needed now.
After you posted this, you actually criticise my post, so it's ok for you to have an opinion but not me, a case of the pot calling the kettle black, and was I there? No I wasn't,sone of us work weekends and nights, so can't physically get to away games, but I do cut my sleep short to attend home games when I am working weekends.
My posts and opinions will keep coming, and please feel free to comment, but don't just single me out, criticise your mates as well.

As previously said it's going to be big crowd Saturday and parking is always a hot topic of discussion,with this is in mind Chorley have acquired a plot of land rights behind the ground (sat nav pilling lane, rangletts rec') holds bowt 50 cars.3quid a pop...free parking is pot luck around streets... BBC North West tonight as just shown Chorley FC on it (only lasted a minute) but great publicity.
-
Don't make extra pies based on us. Can't see more than 100 going. Despite it being a big game for us

Get BBC N W down on Saturday afternoon , even greater publicity for you when they show a goal feast by your forwards .

Couple of us getting a cheap early train from brum. Wethers will be only place open at half ten but from there any recommendations? Got a couple of places in mind
-
You'd be surprised afew pubs open early doors,personally I'd start at sir Henry Tate's (spoons) then 2 minutes walk to most Popular pub in Chorley Pearson's which is sports bar with Liverpool v Man Utd on big screens ..then HAPPY HOUR on ale in ground
-
For those who fancy a fa cup flutter..
Chorley 4/6
Draw 3/1
Boston 4/1
-
Tenner on us then! Can't see us losing this one. Heard that Chapman is getting a recall this Saturday.

Good to see you being optimistic when most others are expressing gloom .
I forecast CFC 5 BUFC 6 . in the prediction league , anyone got an idea what sort of odds I will get from bookies ?
-
Invest £10 of your pension GHM and you will get odds of 250/1. Standard price I'm afraid. I will have a word with Joe Coral to get you a better price ( he owes me, I have paid for his kids to go through school over the years ;) )

Thanks for your quick response Dip, I will treat you to a pint out of the winnings .
I will have a word with Cameron Johnson for you to see if he can score a few goals .

***NO SEGREGATION ****..so enjoy 2quid a pint in club

0-0 Halftime
-
Looks like the team is set up for draw, with the Hemmings and Rollins on the bench.
Let's hope it doesn't backfire.
How are they playing so far ????
-
The gap between success and failure is narrow at this point .
Chapman comes on and scores the winner ? :o
-
Yeomans off. United down to 10 men. Can we hold out?
-
Final score 0-0
-
So a replay, extra time - but will we win the penalty shoot out?
-
Classic 4Q York Street replay under lights ..
Make it pay ! :-X
-
Well done AM and team - looking forward to Tuesday nights replay at York St.
-
Well done to Adam and the team.
-
Only seen the score...not seen any reports but a draw is a success after all the negativity around this last week....
Well done AM...looks like you got it right today...let this be a new beginning

Negativity ? I predicted us scoring 6 in the prediction league . Look at the PM I sent you .last night .
If your looking for negativity OXO is your man (6-0 prediction )
-
The squad probably still needs stimulating .
Maybe Mondays Cup draw will do it .
-
A fair result, and finished with ten men.
I would have took a draw at the start of the day
-
Who would stimulate you Ted .
Fancy Mcfaud at YS?

A great result chubby , and it gets me out of the household chores Tues night .

Trinity home would be a good draw.

Now that would be telling :P
Anyway the club would want the biggest money game .

Next week at school, will you be taught how to type in complete sentences?

Yes hope school teach me English properly.thanks for heads up

Living in Merseyside, it was a pleasant drive up the M6.
£7 to get in (old gits' price), £2 for the programme and £1,30 for a cup of coffee.
The afternoon was balmy (for October) and Boston's tactics were to defend and hit long balls. It worked but it would be nice to see us finish with eleven man - I went to Southport for the first match of the season.
Amused to see the Boston and Chorley chorus competing in the first half. Neither up to the standard of a Welsh Male Voice Choir, but you can't expect everything. Satisfactory result for us, but the home fans weren't happy
-
Sorry, price for the programme was £2.50 - daylight robbery.
Parking was OK, though.

Whoah! I was talking about the criticism of our keeper. On that particular goal.

It's great to be in mondays draw. Ok job half done, but they won't fancy long late trip Tuesday night. Let's hope we can kick start season on back of today. Not conceding is massive, as first clean sheet on road v team from our league this season; & last 15 mins with 10 men! That £12,500 might just get us a CF in - if we can win the replay. Fa Cup, York st under the lights - we can do this!

Excellent battling display. A terrible game, not pretty to watch. Neither side had a shot on target. Felt we could easily have been give a pen seconds before the red card. Gives us half a chance now to win the tie but wonder if it may suit them too if we come out and have a go.
The small band of fans were top drawer, was quite lively first half when whoever won the toss swapped ends and we couldn't be arsed to take flags down to move. Fingers crossed for the replay which I doubt I can attend and if we can pull it off, a lucky draw

Showing who the resilient supporters are , you , Chubby and Oxo already missing in the clubs hour of need .
Looks as though the team will be reliant on ever faithful supporters like me and your old man .

Sorry but some of us have to work, but will be following on line and listening too Endeavour if I can't get there to watch.

Not good I cannot make it either, in a caravan at sunny Hunny with " her that must be obeyed "

Rem the 4Q tie v Grantham 1968 ? at York st .
Their keeper flapped around under those dodgy York St end lights but they got a draw .
Then they won the replay 2-1 .
Did anyone get to their old London Rd ground ?

Yes Ted numerous times . Went to see the replay of above match , on a Mon afternoon no floodlights at Grantham in those days . Main points I remember, we lost 2-1 , John Lakin got sent off (or would it be Billy Howells) , Brian Clifton missed a penalty for us shooting uphill (don't make pitches like that any more . Ernie Nixon if I remember rightly got the equalising goal at Boston and Don Donavans boot in his b******s in the replay .
Above from memory , pleased to know of any errors .
PS . Would a 2.00 replay Monday afternoon be a more convenient KO time for you chubby ?
-
Must have been Billy ,,but you could be right .
Rem York City tie 70/71 ? , stood @ York St end
Couldn't see much ..then my mate said ' Your rough b****r just kicked someone and got sent off.

Yes it would GHM even a 6pm would be great, I have never understood why we have 7.45 kick offs, we are not on the TV.
Let's face it, it will be a long night if it goes to extra time and penalty's.
Probably nearly 11pm before it's over.

My first reaction was to tell you to join us in the pensions club , but Oxo is a member and he can't make it . We used to have a vicar on Patter , he seemed able to get to matches any time of the day except on a Sunday , any vacancies in that profession ?

Went to replay,sure it was on the Wed afternoon 6th Nov,Keith Alexander scored our goal.
-
Welcome sir , were there 2 Alexander s then ?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p46t6YSzbb4
Watched highlights as didn't go,
Amazed at that sending off,
Clifton clearly wins the ball, so shouldn't of been a free kick.
Chorley players surround referee baying for blood, their no9 then grabs Yeoman by the throat (also in Kens pictures) realises linesman is rushing over so takes 2 steps back and falls down clutching his face. Cheat.
Highlights really do show how teams con these poor referees into decisions.
Roll on Tuesday night, hope no frost is predicted 😁 I've managed to accomadate game around work.
-
just replayed the incident 10 times and still cant see why it was a sending off. Does look like a spot of cheating....

Just a spot.............. More like a whole lot of cheating as the freekick didnt look that honest
-
Yes it was never a sending off or foul, Boston would have a good case for an appeal, but apparently they cost to much.
So probably won't happen, and I wouldn't think the FA would punish the Chorley player for cheating.
One thing's for sure he won't make it as a boxer, going down so easy.
-
What time is the draw and is it streamed live somewhere?

7pm, and it's on BBC 2 and BT Sports. BT Sports normally stream draws on Periscope, a live video website/app - https://www.pscp.tv/btsportfootball

Marcus Carver was the player who disgracefully went down.
Im sure York Street will give him a warm welcome.

Keith would only be 12 years old in 1968 .
-
Seems Jan was unlucky , on the positive side the rejected penalty did not lose us the match and we have the opportunity bring justice Tues night .
On balance I think we may have gained so far with poor refs in the cup , probably we would not have been at Chorley Saturday if the one at YS street had spotted the blatant hand ball against Haughmond , swings and roundabouts .!!

I am sure they will, pity I am not there to politely tell him that he is a cheat.

I would guess attendance would be around 850 if there were no reduced prices.
So financially for the club approximately a gate of 850 at normal prices (£13) would be around the same income as 1150 at these reduced prices (£10).
Will be interesting to see what the attendance is.

Slow motion of the alledged foul and the melee which followed and resulted in Jeoman getting sent off.
It was never a foul in the first place.

At least it's at home.

It's an incentive to win, and probably a big crowd, with a bit of luck we might get on the TV live.

A massive game this! Both teams need a cup run and the rewards for winning it are tremendous. Cup fever as gripped the town and a big crowd is being forecast with this,your away support Preston and Blackburn away and fa cup special offers it is advised to get down early here's afew offers for you
*Discounted adults 10£ pay on gate was 12£
*Kids 12 and under completely FREE
*Carlsberg , Strongbow,Tetleys PINTS only 2£ (happy hour prices) 12.30 til 2pm
A lesson there for our club instead of the the tired old excuse of 'both clubs have to agree the price' that was trotted out when we were charged full league prices for the Haughmond tie. I'm assuming BUFC have agreed to this pricing policy, after all, we never offer discounts in the FA Cup no matter who the opposition.
Good luck in R1, because you'll have no problems seeing us off in our present form.
Always cheer me up with your negativity Andy. Alas I am afraid I have to agree with your final sentence I have predicted we will get hammered 6-1 but at least if we get there on in time I can numb the senses with cheap ale.
Chubby at work , Dipdodah on hols and Oxo,s hair wash night . Andy wins his price reduction campaign and regulars unable to take advantage of it . :)

did you know...Fleetwood's ground has lower capacity than York st...

Shit draw but we're at home so there'll be a crowd there, unlike the case if it were at Fleetwood

Whoops! Good spot, thank you 😳

Shit draw ? Home to a League 1 club. Could have been loads worse. Not a lot of pleasing some people.

tomorrow night is a big chance to get this season rolling. It will need a more dynamic performance - but surely we are due one? AM talked after sat about players lacking confidence. Well many fans feeling similar about the team. Look best way to remedy that is get out there tomorrow night & give it a real go. Use the wingers again, get it to them on the deck & get some crosses in. Smithy scored a lot last season from wide crosses, not long hopeful punts from the back. I think fans have been extremely patient withe the style of play served up so far. It's ok for AM to say he wants good backing; but we need more attacking quality to give us something to cheer! A bit more of that & that confidence would soon return.

I agree with Champs, we have a couple of decent wingers let's use them.

Agreed .
I think AM is partly right about lacking confidence , but the real match winning ingredient missing on the field and the terraces is passion . Over the decades successful mangers have sent the team out on the pitch instilled with passion which transmits to the fans .
Listening to Adam you get the impression that it is the supporters duty to generate the players passion ,
sorry Adam that's your job , pack away your gadgets and replace technology with a bit of passion .
-
A lot of passion on show last Saturday.
-
Good to see Thomas loan extended making him available for tonight .
-
When's the last time we made the first round proper ?
-
2006/7, final FL season..
Last time we won a 4th Qualifying Round game was 1997/8, at Knypersley Victoria. We lost to Ilkeston in round 1.

Steve Evans, not a popular man at York Street, but knows how to instill passion in his players.
I agree with GHM passion is the responsibility of the manager and players, not the fans.

so do you not feel passionate then YC, cause your posts suggest the opposite?

Good luck to all Pilgrims tonight, enjoy and embrace the occasion. Massive game, fingers crossed !

I am always full of passion, you have only got to see the contented look on my wife's face to know that lol

Very entertaining game but in all shows we are just not good enough . The home win against ferriby in the play offs was the last time we have come close to what should be expected at york street . Currently we are going no where exepct towards even lower league football . My attendance from now on will no longer be guaranteed while this shambles of a team manager and coasting chairman (yes we continue to pay at the gate in hope of improvement) carry on . My patience has been tested enough and will no longer be attending every match . One seriously pis*** off life long pilgrims fan (home and away) .

Firstly a great effort and commitment from the team and fans and from the Chorley fans.for ten quid what a treat. Yes we lost and I'm gutted but I'm a realist there no 7 was outstanding and will go on to greater things there keeper pulled of a worldly. The irony both are on loan from Fleetwood so cannot play next round. They were the difference and I think sometimes we have to accept we lost to the better team just if the shot that hit the bar and bounced down was given in we are having a different chat. The key is the guys up top as it is in any league and that's not a criticism of anyone but goals win games. Slightly disappointing is that food is laid on for both teams yet a handful stepped inside the social club and those that did except vinno thought the tie was an afterthought but that's irrelevant really I hope Am turns it around but we need to be more open and attack teams. In summary an entertaining game good atmosphere and we just missed out.

100% correct and my thoughts exactly.
Please wake up and smell the coffee people before its too late.

Like NF said a lot of huff & puff, Chorley played the better football always seem to have an outlet and better movement off the ball
-
I would suspect that, aside from the full time clubs, that Boston's wage bill is the highest in the league
Yet the football is so 'basic' compared to other teams
-
There were 5 non players in our dugout last night. When DG was manager there 2 - DG and Buncy.
I don't suppose they are all there unpaid. What exactly do they all do?

Ask the chairman for that information, you are not going to get the answer here.

The only non players I know in the dug out is Dan Milgate who has done a brilliant job on our pitch as demanded by AM . I don't think when he instigated the improvement AM realised it would help footballing teams like Chorley rather than our hoof ball style. We must have about the most expensive dugout in the league . Chappy sat on the bench fulltime (remember him , best midfielder in the league ) Hemmings making a playing cameo appearance now and again , both we were assured by Adam capable of Div 2 football .
Probably the 2 highest paid players on the books .
I hope the new striker we have been promised this week is utilised on the pitch and not crushed in the dugout .

Hemmings rumoured to be on 800 a week! Even allowing for inflation by Chinese whispers he'll be on 600 with best midfielder in league picking up similar

Gregory Smith is the highest paid player currently signed, others named are similarly paid but not the same.

I think Dan the groundsman would do a better job than Murray?

Call me old fashioned , but defender player managers like Don Donavan and Jim Smith did ok for the Club .
One could merit a fulltime post ,unlike the present incumbent .
There has been a few clean sheets , but far too many goals against to make any progress .

only 1 clean sheet in the league, ironically home vs Chorley.

curzon sats opponents like us have conceded 25 goals in the league. So good chance there will be goals (prob a 0-0 then). You would hope we go for there for the 3 Pts as next 2 home games will be tough & a win sat would lift us for the brackley game.

A bit pessimistic Champ predicting a 0-0 when AM has promised us a new striker is coming in this week :)
