It wasn’t great admittedly, but at least we’re in the hat tomorrow and we have a chance to make amends on Tuesday.  I think credit should be given to the opposition. They came with a plan, they stuck to it and as a result they got something out of it.

Dennis being lined up to be the interim manager of AFC Telford after the departure of Gavin Cowan. Could well see him returning to Boston next Tuesdsay evening when Telford are our visitors.

I hope I’m wrong but DG only knew one way…try to out-score the opposition, and hit them early. If this happens we could struggle (again). As I said, I hope I’m wrong.

I believe it's a 2 year deal, so not this season

The powers that be would no doubt cover the 'gaps'  with a further restructure of the pyramid or find something really tenuous in the small print to prohibit our progress!

Really pleased/excited that the majority have stayed on. Covid permitting I think we have a great squad and looking forward to cheering the lads on in the new ground. C'mon Jordan T let's have it

He's either holding out for a better deal or surplus to requirements by the looks of it - Standard article suggests that's it for the time being.

I heard JThew lives near Donny or Scunny, so maybe there's better money to be made in South Yorks?!?!? Guiseley for instance have a recent history of signing ex-Pilgrims on bigger wages?!?!? Dayle / Garns / Kaine. or of course I could be way off and inadvertently creating rumours that have no foundation simply due to lockdown and football boredom.

Graeme Jones got a mention on MotD last night in his new role as part of Newcastle United's coaching staff.

I see Richard Brodie is playing for Skelmersdale tonight v Harrogate. His Wikipedia entry suggests that he has played for about  22 clubs (give or take one or two depending on duplicates I haven't counted/noticed....).

that must be getting towards being a record! Drewe Broughton played for plenty but I doubt that many.

I think at our level that a massive part of supporting your local team is being able to go to the games. It's not that I support them any less, i'm just finding it difficult to get fully into it without being there. I also support Liverpool, but I've always been used to seeing them on tv, so it doesn't seem quite so different, but there's nothing like being at the game feeling the atmosphere and cheering them on.

Despite the elite sport status currently bestowed on us, I fear it'll be next season before we get to grace Pilgrim Way with our presence, but if that's how it goes then so be it. Everything comes to he who waits...

Former loanee keeper Conrad Logan lined up for Anstey Nomads vs Boston Town on Saturday. 3 seasons ago he was playing in the Scottish Prem. That's one big drop.

Tom Clare has joined Pontefract Collieries. Their manager has gone on record as saying he has all the attributes to make a good career in the game... as a central defender. Intriguing.

he played at centre back along with former Pilgrim s Zeph Thomas on the bench, and Dylan Parkin between the sticks against Selby and trialist Reece Thompson.

I'm not a current season ticket holder, but have been for many years gone by. I've chosen to sponsor a tree at the new ground with some of the money I would have spent going to the last few games. Symbolically looking to the future I thought.
