Good to see Harris score on his debut and Margetts scoring a cracker today!

Many fans think that Margetts never was really given a proper chance at Boston.
I don't think his face fits, or he doesn't fit in.
Amazing that he can score goals somewhere else, but it is a lower standard of football though.
Who knows hey!!

Do you have a crystal ball? If you bothered to watch Boston United you would have seen two more cracking goals today, oh sorry you don't bother watching them just put pathetic posts on here and elsewhere.

Big difference in standard between NLN and the level below. Seen it so many times before that players can score freely in the league below but struggle with the step up..

Bugger you two seem to have an axe to grind today.

Who would want to spend 3 hours on a bus with those opinions once every couple of weeks 😛

Think this web site and worryingly the club is becoming very divided.
The reasons for this I believe are having poor quality served up at home week after week. A manager who says that he is learning but clearly isn't e.g. signing a player with 7 games left who clearly isn't match fit!!!!
And finally a lack of any progress with ground as promised.
Crowds will be down very quickly next season if status quo is maintained. Less incentive for Mr Newton to progress the ground.
H ave not been so worried since we attended the meeting on that Sunday morning.

If you think we moan a lot you should have heard the home supporters at Spalding's match yesterday. Mind you, it was a very uninspiring game and they are heading downhill fast towards relegation. (I only go if neither Boston teams are at home.)

It's easy to suggest a management change but who would you bring in? It's so difficult to find 'the one' - just look at our last five appointments.
And if you don't like the choice of manager, should we be blaming the Board? They keep employing these failures. Sack the Board too?

Bloody good points, but like any employer will tell you, recruitment is a minefield and finding the right person is a nightmare and somewhat of a gamble.
Some people interview really well and sell themselves,overs don't but doesn't mean the latter should be discarded.

So you would seriously consider someone who has a bad interview over someone who had a good one? I find that an utterly unbelievable statement, personal performance is key and if a person doesn't perform at interview under what has to be said is minimal pressure they should be not considered. Don't know how any of the BUFC managers past or present have interviewed, but CE seems very one dimensional to say the least.

Another positive post by OXO! Keep collecting your coppers. Why should I bother to come and waste money. Anyway I thought you was stopping these posts as somebody pointed out you've got a bad attitude. Good night and don't forget to take your pennies to the bank. From another fan (ex) you've pissed off. Keep going OXO your doing a grand job!

Never judge a book by it's cover, didn't David Newton say that Craig's interview wasn't the best but employed him on past performance.
Answer to your first question is I would look to see if they have a track record of results and hard work.
The boasting candidate that is just full of themselves can do one.
But personality is the key.

So TEP and OXO etc you are happy to be served up the crape we have been served up over the last few seasons, You may be a few of the last going to games so please put the lights out and lock the gates on your way out.
New ground dream on

Another ray of sunshine, have you actually been and had a look at the new stadium site recently, l suggest you do.
What are your claims based on regarding why the new ground will not be built, you openly claim it will not but we never see you back these up with any factual evidence.
Why don't you approach David Newton yourself and ask him face to face.
Yes things have not been great this season or the past few, but a true fan supports there club through the good and the bad times.
Those of us who have followed or actively supported the club over the year's, have witnessed much worse than we are experiencing now, Bankruptcy, Fraud, Demotion, Scandal, etc etc
You quote put out the lights and lock the gates, will happen if people don't carry on going to watch, l will carry on going because I am a Boston United fan.
Just food for thought, l see over 10000 fans have been turning out to watch Notts County play at home and they are in the relegation zone in L2.
They have been served up crap for years, but because they love County and are TRUE FANS.
Keep the faith it will come right and we will have our glory days again in the near future.

Short answer = no - although things are definitely better under CE than they were with Adam Murray previously. The thing is, what is your suggestion ? Another new manager - or a new Board ? Because it's the Board that keep employing these 'failures'. It's a difficult one and I'm realistic. Look back at previous managers - Murray, Greene, Lee, Drury, Hurst & Scott, Welsh, Tommy Taylor, Evans. We could find fault with all of these (probably with the exception of Hurst & Scott) but aren't so many non-league clubs living within their means in the same boat? Look at the 'big names' in our league alone. Didn't Stockport used to be at Championship level ? I guess a lot of it come down to your expectations.
If we are punching well below our weight, taking into account how much money we have at our disposal compared to our peers, consideration of geographical location etc etc then we should probably all by disappointed. The thing is, most of us aren't privy to this information so it's hard to make a judgement. What tends to happen then is that we set our expectations based on what happened years ago - and things have changed.
If anyone has all the answers then It'd be great to hear what they are - particularly who the manager should be, who the Board should be, what league / position we should be at and how our finances stack up compared to the rest.

I don't want to see the club fail and my posts that seem to offend you are only critical of those that appear to be content if this happens To be fair you have been consistent in being critical of the board and your view that the new ground will never happen. You have also been consistent in not attending games home and away and openly state you are an "ex" fan. Don't know what your rant about the coins I collect is about, they are not MY coins they are the fans coins and are donated by those loyal fans and they will decide what it is spent on so I will do as you ask and keep collecting.

This has gone off topic a bit from the original title. In terms of Spencer Harris, club stated he had cancelled his contract by mutual consent so that he could go to a wedding in Australia. But he obviously hasn't gone yet - he played for Ramsbottom at the weekend. Given that we had Middleton suspended on Saturday and others unavailable, ineligible, injured or returning from injury, we were low on bodies. I'd have preferred to have kept Harris in the squad up to the point of his flight. Anyone know why we didn't?
