Ditch Mark "tap in" Newsham - no tracking back missed two half chances has to go!

A few more pics - some taken with my backup camera during the warmup, a few crowd shots and a few half decent shots I missed during the original scan through.

You can see the instigators of the trouble in this shot (the guy in the Norwich shirt and the Gap toothed wonder!)

1) 7 league and the FA Cup (missed Burscough and Matlock)
2) No (Kendal the only team to come anywhere near matching us IMO)
3) N/A

It would be good if anyone knows of a decent right back, as we don't seem to have one playing today.

not had one all season  

We have he's been playing left back! Now if only we had a left back.....

Make Poverty History, Cheaper drugs now.



Hmm, there was also the moment that I said...

"what a finish" under my breath when Torres scored and dark clouds gathered overhead. 

It wasn't the dark clouds rather the bottles of stella that were flying that worried me!!!

Not sure if anyone else saw it, but I watched a fly-on-the-wall police TV documentary earlier today which showed a drugs raid in Greater Manchester. As the police were breaking down the door at the front of the property, the cameras panned across the road. A big sign stating "Welcome to Hurst Cross" came into view.

So we now know that you can buy illegal drugs directly opposite Ashton United Football Club!

Fortunately Boston don't go to Ashton again until February. But generally those people with drug problems get involved in crime to fund their habits. And it doesn't take a genius to work out that (a) a BUFC car sticker or a sticker with "so-and-so garage" of Boston will belong to people who are attending a match, (b) that the same car will remain unattended until after the final whistle, and (c) that in all probability it may contain a sat nav or similar gadgets.

All of this brings home the basic crime prevention sense to make sure everything is out of view, etc., etc., and perhaps to park a little further away from the ground and walk to it.

Unibond League fans are a friendly bunch and there's hardly ever any trouble inside grounds. But is there perhaps an argument for having stewards patrolling outside of grounds and looking after vehicles whilst matches are in progress?

The documentary pixelated the faces of the criminals involved so that they couldn't be identified. Presumably that's due to their human rights. But shouldn't Ashton United have more rights not to be identified?

Did you not go to Ashton last year? There was more than just one house I'd imagine. Some of the area around the ground was very much akin to something out of Shameless

Especially with Manure vs Liverpool on Sky!!

I remember feeling slightly uncomfortable in the "pub" when Gerrard scored and kissed the camera!

Disappointed to not see any of the gurning that went on after the third goal, more pictures of people doing silly things after the ball hits the net are needed, lord only knows what people must look like jumping around like epileptic monkeys.

Will these do?  

epileptic monkeys indeed!!!

This is our penalty.



It looked like Davidson tripped over his own feet to me.

Davidson threw himself at the players legs after he turned him - slightly clearer penalty from where I was standing

The new make over is good and more in keeping with what we should expect these days, well done David and Neil.

Is room no longer available in the board room?  

I totally agree with the first comment - it's amazing what difference it has made.

Batemans on tap and glorious sunshine what more can you ask for - other than 3 pts.

I am under the impression that the board room is the next to get the extreme makeover treatment
