Anyone else going?
Or have 3 defeats put you off 😤
Suspect the Grimsby lads will get a go. Hopefully Craig doesn't pay them respect and change it.... Play to our strengths
About time we started producing in the other box
Time to get back in the wins, you have to see our next few games as very much there for the taking although said sides will think likewise of us

Yes, I'll be there. Another relatively 'on-the-doorstep' away match for me - a 16 mile bus/train ride across the outskirts and through the centre of Manchester. It will complete a busy sporting week for me after being at Belle Vue Speedway on Wednesday night and tonight, and at Wigan Warriors Rugby League last night.
Here's to a return winning ways, especially as a win at Edgeley Park would be give me the bragging rights over three friends and fellow Belle Vue Speedway supporters who follow County home and away.

Heat 13 and Max Frickes ride Wednesday WOW
-
I will be there but it only takes me 15 minutes from home so not too much of an effort ! I was at last week's home game which certainly wasn't worth the effort of getting there so hoping for better things tomorrow!

Giving it a miss. Have to pick and choose away games when it's a 340 mile round trip. Having seen three defeats in a row I can't face it !!
This means we'll win :)

Stockport away. I went with 2 mates the year we lost 3-2 and Piergianni got a red card. When we got to the ground and asked where we could get a pint, we were told to go to a social club 200 yards down the road that hadn't seen a re-decoration since The Comedians in the 1970's. The result was false, we should have lost 6-2. This was a few days after the 7-2 home defeat to Oxford City. After the game we walked backed towards the train station. There is a pub on a small roundabout between the ground and the main road to the station. All 3 of us wanted a pint. As soon as the pints were served, a number of the local troublemakers decided to encircle us at the bar. All 3 of us were in our mid-50's at the time. What they didn't know was one of my companions was an ABA Area middle- weight champion in his youth. He also had a VERY short fuse and a lethal left hook. The first lump he hit was unconscious before he hit the floor. The second was hit so hard in his "bread-basket", he couldn't breathe. The pub went very quiet , very quickly, and we left with no further aggravation.

Just arrived and the weather is shocking. Journey was horrendous. Hope the football is gonna make it worth it, but if the rain carrys on like it is it may become waterlogged.

Any radio commentary?
-
Not unless you wanna pay for it.
1-0 up, though!

Bloody cheek asking people to pay for radio commentary.
Come on you Pilgrims.
-
2-0, 3 points :)
-
A 2-0 win for the pilgrims.
The man said he would put it right and he has.
Well done to you all, and big well done to Craig.
-
Well done! Great result.
-
2-0, 3 points :)
Get in there.
-
Excellent 3 points...
-
I see the Nuneaton v York didnt go ahead... "insufficient players"

Yes I saw that, l don't know the circumstances behind it.
But let's hope this is not the start of a season of messing about by Nuneaton.
-
International call ups was the reason.
-
Yeah it was postponed several days ago...
-
Similar to the alty game. Kept them generally at arms length bar a couple of good saves by willis and carried a threat, especially first half. Played on the counter 2nd half, could still have had a couple more
Clean sheet was encouraging again
Can we play every game away near Manchester this season!
101 happy united fans in the away end
-
Quality result. Much needed. Well done CE and team.

Said when I stepped on the bus that I really fancied we would get back on the horse today. Never worry to much about a sticky patch with Craig in charge he will not let it continue. From the first whistle we were passing it about quickly and effectively. Nicky Walker was at his best again and what a revelation the two Grimsby lads were, two lads with great futures ahead of them. Sorry for lack of names but the 19year old winger is like lightening in attack but also dashing back to support his fullback, excellent. The Centre forward again very quick but also a good brain on him, frightening the opposition to death and his headed goal was exquisite. A special mention for Nathan Arnold, a lovely goal but his work rate getting back and getting a foot in was exemplary, good to see Ash Jackson back he was really up for it and his enthusiasm rubbed off on others. A great clean sheet and a great team win. Onward and Upward. UTP.
-
Every player including subs used were on top of their game, the best team effort of the season.
-
Told you I was the Jonah Mel. Think maybe I should stay away more often.
Bring on Chester

Heat 13 and Max Frickes ride Wednesday WOW
That was exactly the word I used as Max crossed the line!! We are really fortunate to see top quality racing at the National Speedway Stadium every week, but that race will surely go down as the best one yet since the stadium opened in 2016.
And, after yesterday's win, I'll be making sure my Stockport County supporting speedway friends are reminded of the result when I see them again at the next Belle Vue home match!!

What happened at the start....did the guy just pass it to himself?

Didn't realise Jordan Keane was playing for Stockport yesterday and pleased we showed we can manage without him.

Yes he did indeed pass it to himself, not a good start for Stockport, the ref gave us a free kick on the centre spot.

Reading and listening to all-things Stockport County said around here, many of their fans still can't get their heads around the fact they're playing such as Curzon Ashton, FC United of Manchester and Altrincham in the National League North and have been overtaken by Salford City. On their Fans Forum many make comments that they're still rivals of and still should be just one division below (as indeed they were when I left Boston to move over here) Manchester United and Manchester City.
Well, they've been at National League North level for 5 or 6 seasons now, and still there are lots of derogatory remarks made about their opponents, especially of course, when they lose. And, even though this supporter was angry at his own team's performance and recognised our good play - just look how dismissive he is of us.
"It was an awful performance we got tonked at home, outplayed, out muscled, and our tactics were outdone. Nothing positive from yesterday at all. It’s time Jim and his players start to do what they are paid to do now and I’ll remind you who this was by................. BOSTON UNITED!"
If I knew who he was I'd tell him to check where we are in the league table in relation to them, and remind himself of what level of football they're playing at these days.

They need reminding that they are at this level for a reason, because they are a club which has found its level.
Until they realise that they will be never be able to move on, we all had to accept it when the same happened to us.
The reason they are so derogatory about us is because we are a club and team that are finally moving forward, yes we sometimes have some setbacks, but with a chairman that believes in this club and a very hardworking no nonsense manager and the new stadium now under construction, Stockport fans are very envious and jealous of us.
I too have read those comments and opinions about their manager and chairman/ board, but perhaps they should be reminded that without those who put the money in, they would not have a club at all.

Some highlights from a fan
Best bit is the 2nd goal
"We're getting asked who are we by Boston United"
;D ;D ;D

In truth I've have lost patience had we had 6 years doing fvck all in the UCL or equivalent standard because that's about what it is.....
I certainly didn't get any pics of the scoreboard because after all, we beat a side below us in the league!

We've had more wins near Manchester than Jose Mourinho this season!
