Lost 1-0 83rd minute goal. Ah well, on to Saturday and the re-match New Years Day.

Well what a disgrace that place is. Was not allowed down the side due to safety numbers but then told I could but if I needed the toilet would not be allowed back in even with kids or elderly in the side part. This was causing massive rows then two bouncers with cameras clearly looking for a bit of action decided to get involved. Then it pourerd down then yep all in no problem. Segregation was embarrassing they know the fans will be come to a derby move the segregation area further down an seperate them further. Crap view poor stewards. But a great effort from the support and team. Definite penalty for us near end but ref bottled it. Won’t spend another penny at that dump.

:o, Agree, absolute tin pottery of the highest order, as for game, sending off changed it, 11 v 11 and we would have run out comfortable winners, must admit for a team top of table they were pretty poor, will wager a bet come end of season we will be above them in the league, long way to go yet.

I have waited until this morning to try to post a constructive reply, without the emotions of yesterday clouding my opinion. It hasn't worked, I'm gutted. How are they top of the league?
First things first, the viewing from where I was stood was the most obstructed view I have ever encountered at a ground. I could only see 2/3s of the pitch, I did not see their goal. Also my mate who is 71 could not use the toilet, because the stewards would not let anyone back into the stand.
I thought until the sending off, we were the better team. I thought the ref got it right ( about the only thing he did get right all match). I thought he bottled every decision concerning Boston. We could have had two penalties, hand ball which could have been harsh ( but I have seen them given ). Also I think Southwell being manhandled to the ground, this was right in front of the ref.
I thought the Lynn players went to ground very easy. I also thought Crook was sailing a bit close to the wind with his time wasting, but it makes a change it not happening against us.
I look forward to Mel's report, I hope he had a better view than me.

I had a great view of the Southwell shout and so did the ref. I try not to say to much on things but im afraid not giving that pen was a blatant cheat.

Reading their programme they had to put segregation measures in like that to satisfy ground grading or face demotion
All other segregated games this year there have seen away, fans at the other end
The small fences dividing the fans had to be so, but it just lead to missile throwing and had either sides yoof been keener to get thrown out there's could easily have been fighting
Surprised away fans don't get the whole end rather than the tiny section we got, wasn't many more places for our 600 or so fans to go and there seemed to be problems with being let in if you went out of the covered bit
Defended well for most of it got a bit of back luck with the goal although we allowed their guy to skip a few tackles to cross it in.
Red cards both nailed on but pity it meant that our attacking intentions largely got parked after the red card for shiels
Pitch was wet through and probably helped us defend with 10 men.
Like to think 11v11 at York St we can do them

From September:
https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/kings-lynn-town/king-s-lynn-town-cash-boost-for-work-at-home-ground-1-6296923
"This work will be carried out at the Tennyson Road end of the ground as well as part of the covered terraced stand. The work includes fencing, turnstiles, toilets and refreshment areas"
Fencing was inadequate. Turnstiles fine, but stupid to have the bottleneck in the corner. Toilets from the outside looked very temporary. Refreshment? A van serving overpriced food and drink.
Away section should have been either full end plus quarter side terrace, or half end plus half side terrace. It was dangerous to have such a small exit from the sidestand. That cannot be safe for an evacuation of a full section.

My view of the game is no diferrent to yours Mick as I also could not see bugger all, and that after being the third person to enter the ground. On arriving I enquired about the club house for a warm and a drink as the web site states it is open to all, this was two hours before kick off as they had asked everyone to arrive early. I was told I couldn't go in there as the game was segregated, didn't matter I am 74 and wanting to fight every bugger, sent round to the away turnstile and went in where just two others had beaten me to it, no chance of warm drink as the old mini van acting as a food and drink outlet was yet to be plugged in. The whole place was a bloody disgrace and the pitch was like a cabbage patch. As for what I saw of the game after the sending off I thought Jay was exceptional at full back and all the lads gave it everything but just didn't get the rub of the green or the referee. I travel to all away games and this for the reasons stated (not the result) was easily the worst, a bloody disgusting place. UTP

It was also the one of the most expensive entrance fee, I only wanted to pay to see the game not buy the place.
-
Two former pilgrims with important goals against the top two today.
Kaine Felix with the winner for Guiseley vs York and Ryan Qualter on target for Alfreton to draw 2-2 with Kings Lynn.
-
Totally out played, tactical inept, awful. Left 10 minutes before the end.
-
Less said about today's effort the better!
-
I missed today's match due to a previous engagement. I was gutted I was missing it, but perhaps it was a blessing in disguise.

Wow such criticism first home loss this season. Great support for a team that so far has done well and I’m sure will make the play offs but give it a rest lost to the better team. Up front they were clinical sadly Dayle is not the answer for us. But not going to slate our team we lost to a team who are on an amazing run and played some quality football and easy on the eye. Spoke to some of there lads in pubs in town they are living the dream and nice to have both them and Kettering as local games to boost the crowds. So don’t be to harsh.

Pretty spot on there ...
I did find their chant of 'a town full of spastics' very unpleasant.. that isnt banter...its nasty
-
Thought we bossed the first 20 mins or so without really testing their keeper. Done badly for pace down the middle for the first goal. Thought Crook should have done better on their 2nd goal. That killed us. 2nd half we huffed and puffed but Lynn were in control by now. As for the 3rd goal, Crook’s kicking had been ropey all game so you could see it coming.
-
Not the first time we've been done for pace this season through the middle. Bad day at the office. It's what happens in football. We win and lose as a team and we move on.

I have supported BUFC for over 70 years and seen some Good, some Poor, and some unlucky games but the main thing is I will be supporting them again on Saturday you cannot stop supporting them just because they had a very bad game. Come on you yellows.

I agree, 1 game, we weren't at the races, the previous 8 home league games suggest we certainly are at the races. We were out thought and out fought today by a well drilled team who finished clinically. No excuses, they were the better side. Let's hope on Saturday at Park Avenue we can redress the balance and gain a vital 3 points and get ourselves back to winning ways.

I'm glad someone else has raised this as I didn't want to be the first … when you consider their own assistant manager Paul Bastock lives in the town and has raised a disabled child it is actually ironic as well as deeply unpleasant and nasty. I wonder how he felt when the chant was coming across from his own supporters?
Racist and homophobic abuse at football gets discussed a lot and is being tackled, but isn't anti-disability abuse just as bad? Shouldn't the police have been moving into the away end yesterday to arrest the ring leaders? And shouldn't King's Lynn Town FC face some sanctions for this?
-
Just a thought about Ainge. I believe Darlington played him up front. Could we do the same? Looking at how effective Gash was for Lynn yesterday, could be just what our quick strikers need to get the best out of them.
Clearly we'd need someone else at the back. As good as Ainge is in the air, he's been done by pace on several occasions this season.

Don’t let Oxo hear you saying that. I said that at the start of the season. Only for Oxo to give me pelters for it. Be interesting to read what he thinks now about Ainge now.
-
It makes me laugh when all of a sudden we put in a poor performance and suddenly the manager and players are not good enough. We have been in good form but when 8 or 9 players have an off day then you usually get punished and that’s what we got. Anyone who thinks we are suddenly a poor side with a poor manager need to get back to their sky q box. We are a decent side who had an off day simple as that.
-
Congratulations to Lynn. It gives us something to look forward to when their wheels come off, they lose their backers and go bust. Been there, got the T shirt. Enjoy it while you can, we enjoyed our moment.
I still think we have a cracking team but we do seem to lack that killer instinct in front of goal.

Win our the next two matches Tash and at 10 o'clock Tuesday night it's possible that we will be 5th in league above some teams below us having played a game more than us . Happy new year to all at RUSKINGTON and hope we are all laughing along with you Tuesday night Dave .
-
No we haven’t become a bad team overnight. We have decent quality in the squad. Just don’t get why in a local derby against top of the League, who had been fortunate to do us 1-0 on their own muck heap against 10 men,in front of of a big gate, we fail to turn up.
To me the team had a bad day at the office but in turn Craig needs to have a look at himself as well. Maybe it wasn’t just the players who had this bad day at the office.
-
Judging by the predictions for this game, very few expected the result. Even MUFC lost to Arsenal and Spurs to Watford and Grimsby managed a win. Football's a funny old game. Onwards and upwards. Floret Bostona !

Nothing Kings Lynn could do would surely get close to the agony and suffering that the Fat Fraudster put so through.
Anyway listening in on a conversation of one of their Club officials it seems that the current owner is about to be joined by a heavyweight investor with an aim to join the Football League.

Bloody hell where did you drag that up from? Point me to the post I honestly can't bring it to mind. By the way Ainge has been pushed forward on several occasions both at home and away.
Whilst I am on here and regarding last night, Yes it was a shambles and we were well beaten but why everyone is suddenly slating the team and manager and almost suggesting we have become a bad side overnight is ridiculous. How many know the true fitness of some of the players with recent and present injuries with the likes of young Whittle for example playing the last few games with a groin injury and travelling from Liverpool to do it. It was obvious others were struggling as well. This is not an excuse I always have and always will express my view of anyone not giving it 100% but games like this happen.
The game was not as frustrating as being stood trapped in the car park for an hour after the match by a car parked 12 inches from my back bumper and giving me no chance of getting out, the car park was almost empty when the culprit turned up, It was the bloody referees assesser twenty minutes after the officials had left. I hope he could could spell all the shit I gave him for his report. I also spoke to our Chairman whist waiting and it is fair to say I have never ever seen him in such a bad mood following a game (that made two of us) upset was not the word.

I hope you gave the assessor a piece of your Yorkshire mind Mel :D :D

He was lucky he didn't get a Barnsley Kiss Mick.

Oxo, the convo we had re- Ainge was back in Aug on the Altrincham thread, I think. He still looks on the ‘heavy’ side to me. Good in the air as you maintain, but thought the lad Gash won the aerial battle with yesterday..... Just saying
-
I was hopelessly wrong about the Kings Lynn game. I thought we could "do a job on them", but in the end they did one on us. I think that could be labelled a reality check.
On the bright side, half way through the season we are on 34 pts[21games]. Keep up the same points per game ratio and we will finish with 68 pts[42 games]. The points needed for a play-off position in the last 2 seasons has been 63 and 65 points. Add to this the fact we shall play 3 more home games than away and there is genuine cause for optimism.

Bad performance , but we've had our collective whinge. That game is over, let's stop the moaning and get on with the supporting!
-
Congrats to King's Lynn (especially to Sonny Carey ex-Norwich United) and hope they go on to win the League now.

Between that and the segregation ‘arrangements’ at The Walks they’re in danger of coming across as a pretty unpleasant little football club. Every club will have its idiots (especially when they’re top the league and everyone jumps on the bandwagon) so not sure if there’s much they can do about that, but they could really do with investing a bit in the off the field stuff (seem to have plenty of funds to spend on the team!) and there’s no way their ground is fit for football at the level above at the moment.

I would guess out budget is in the bottom 3rd for the league, when you look at our squad compared to others - think we just use it really well!
As for the ground, we have (almost) done everything the FA have requested for the next level up. The "away end" has been approved and checked with them.
As for idiot fans like you say every club has them including Boston - I mean why damage a brand new toilet block and throw toilets rolls onto the pitch and at our player, Ross Barrows, on Boxing Day when he was subbed off.

That was the NEW toilet block?
Dangerous things, toilet rolls... I'm sure he got over it.

Why did your fans take to pissing in beer glasses and then throwing it over our supporters.
I had it thrown over me a d l saw them refilling them up.
You moan about fecking toilet rolls.
