« on: August 20, 2023, 11:29:45 AM »Also got that same train, was going to get off at Bolton for connecting train, but noticed it was cancelled and so stayed on and went all the way to Man Vic and then over to Pic for train to gatley.
i was, and still am, at the moment wearing the shirt which is a replica shirt from several years ago - not sure when - but an away shirt that is largely white with grey sleaves and Drayton Motors as sponsor.
Where you the one wearing the the old 'Oldrids' shirt, which I also have, or the more recent pink strip.
That probably was you then that I spotted from your description of your top. With the quick glimpse I had, I didn't actually recognise it as an old away shirt!! Talking of old shirts, I saw someone wearing the FinForest-sponsored home shirt from many seasons ago as I was leaving the ground.
I was actually wearing a black BUFC polo shirt and a BUFC baseball-type cap. At Meols Cop, though, I found it easier to put on my black jacket as I making a phone call whilst waiting for the train to arrive (a 'match report' to a friend back in Lincolnshire).
If it was you I saw on the train, and you noticed stopping in Kearsley (the last stop before Salford Crescent), I was sitting quite near the door and would have been infront of you. It was when I looked back into the carriage to see if anyone else was getting off that I saw the top. Whomever it was wearing the top, I'd have come across to say 'hello' had I spotted it sooner. I travel on that train either to Wigan or Manchester quite a bit - but don't often see any fellow Bostonians on it!! LOL!!

« on: August 19, 2023, 09:13:54 PM »thanks for the warning, just got my 2 tickets, will be coming on the train.
Me too, I went by train.
Coming home, I was on the 5.32pm train from Meols Cop going to Manchester Victoria (and onto Stalybridge).
As I was leaving the train in Kearsley about a hour later, I noticed there was a chap a little further up the carriage wearing a Boston United top (but not a replica playing shirt). Seemed to be with his wife/lady companion.
Might that have been your good self?

For those venturing to Southport tomorrow don't forget to buy your tickets online tonight if you want to avoid the £2.50 hike they put on tickets sold on matchdays.
Could be a tad busier in Southport tomorrow too with the Annual Flower Show going on over the weekend.
And let's hope we don't give Southport any help tomorrow in bringing an end to their 11 consecutive defeats. Unlike the current naming right sponsors of the Haig Avenue ground. I see from my ticket we're playing them in The Big Help Stadium!!

The B-Ark / Re: South shields
« on: August 14, 2023, 11:50:18 AM »Really solid first half, against good opposition who won't be far off the pace at the end of the season. Couple of cracking goals. We will also need to be on our game against Tamworth, who are likely to give us va stiff test.
I wasn’t able to get over to Boston on Saturday but was interested to see how many of the South Shields line-up remained from their NPL Championship-winning side of last season.
I went to see them play twice last season when they were local to me (at Atherton Collieries & Warrington Rylands) and, comparing their team on Saturday to those two games, there were 9 from last season in the matchday squad at the JCC. 6 starters (inc. the goalkeeper) and 3 on the bench (2 came on).

« on: May 27, 2023, 11:53:22 AM »Keziah Martin also joins from Kidderminster. I am a little underwhelmed with the players signed today. Apart from Tom Edge they seem to be fringe players for their previous teams. I hope and expect one or two bigger names added when contracts run out at the end of the month.
From Kiddy fans' comments, they seem to rate Keziah Martin anyway. Just a few posted about him:-
"Keziah is absolute quality. Should have had way more game time last season. Boston looking good next season."
"Class player. Wish we hadn’t let him go."
"Great player, one of my favourite kiddy players. Very underrated!!!!"
"Some player you got in your hands😮💨😮💨."
"Gutted we let him, go all the best @Keziah_Martin10"
And on Tom Leak:-
"He's class, he seemed very unlucky not to get more minutes for us last season. All the best Tom!"
"You’ve got a good one there Pilgrims. Looked good when he did play for us and was unlucky not to get more game time tbf. Good luck Tom."
"Liked him, solid defender. Honestly not sure why he wasn’t played more this season!! Good luck!!!"
