maybe hobnale boots, but so far they have played 11 games in league won 10, drawn 1. We will need to be at our best!

Finances may dictate otherwise. Isn't that six Saturdays in a row that we are at home???

Christmas is expensive and is only a few weeks away.

There's a blast from the past!

Skelmersdale United were the last side to beat Boston United before they went on their run of 51 league games unbeaten in the 70s. And the sequence was ended by another defeat by Skelmersdale!

Not played them since 1976 though and at York Street Boston have won all five previous encounters.

Maybe if the directors reduced the high admission price by £2-00 to all who pay to see the match, they would maybe get more people through the turnstiles,  Hang on a sec!!, I can hear the happy clappers saying the club cannot afford to do such a decent thing because there hard up, well so are the fans in these present times.

A reduction of £2 is not enough in my opinion. These cup games should be £10 maximum for adults.

And on this topic, season ticket holders were able to get a reduction for last Saturday's game but had to visit the club office between Monday and Friday and produce a voucher from the season ticket book. This doesn't work well for those of us that live over an hour away from Boston. I don't understand why such a scheme can't be made available on matchdays.

Hi Guys

Skem supporter comes in peace.  IT is Skelmersdale United and not Skelmsdale

Dont know how many Colwyn Bay brought but would expect over 100 making the journey from "hobnale boots mining side from lancs"

Think you might be suprised at the team, not cloggers. You should be favourites but we have beaten you before and at the moment fear no one.

Dont count your chickens. Barrow did a few years ago and very nearly came unstuck.

We could have met earlier in the season...We were somewhat comprehensivly beaten by Tadcaster in FA Cup....dont ask !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


See you there and make sure there are plenty of pies and even more beer..
We are a very friendly lot

Reduce by £2. You seem to forget its only partly up to bufc, price has to be agreed and what ever the price there will still be well over 500 so you can sure as hell bet skelms will not agree. And why should they.

Nice to hear from the opposition as always. Colwyn brought <20, if you manage a 3 figure support that will be very impressive considering your level and average home support.

With regards your team, we're not all under the impression you're cloggers, having read the report here it seems you have a reputation for playing good football so should be a good game. We can ask for no more than a home tie against opposition from a lower league but we'll not underestimate you that's for sure.

Them being decent opposition should aide us in fact.  This seasons side seem to up their game against better footballing sides.
So many people have come and gone, their faces fade as the years go by.
Yet I still recall as I wander on, as clear as the sun in the summer sky.

Us Lincolnshire folk do struggle with long words. But I know exactly who you are. I often watch that TV programme about you - normally at 7pm on a Tuesday and Thursday on ITV1.
