A long journey for a loss but to be fair we deserved at least a draw, we were far away the best team in the first half and had the best chances. A quick goal from them on the counter following our attack saw Connor Marshall unable to get back and Tom Ward making a hash of a tackle not first or last time for either of them. It has to be said that only Stainfield held us together at the back in that second half as Silk also looked like a pensioner. Ben Fairclough was very lively when he came on and frightened them to death.
I couldn't get enthusiastic about Chester winning the title like some on here, all the signs to the ground said Chester City and that in my opinion is who they are, should David and Neil have done the same and gone bust leaving creditors with nothing, starting again three leagues down but owing nothing? It is unbelievable that we are still struggling to restore our good name when teams like this are lauded in the national media.
Sorry about that rant but it needed saying and we should remain loud and proud, next year could be ours.
Most of us think the same oxo , but going bust was not an option for us as it would have ended the ground lease and left us without anywhere to play maybe .
Yep, that was our problem. The last 3 years have seen Telford, Nuneaton and Chester all go up from this division (and Halifax having a good go) having re-formed at a lower level, but the common factor is that they were all able to use their old ground. No way we would have got back into York St if the club had gone under and re-formed, so it wasn't an option for us - no-one else near enough for us to share with at a reasonable standard of ground.
I have to say I expected a bit more atmosphere on Saturday. I had trouble parking so missed the first few minutes and as I walked to the ground I expected to hear the crowd in party mood, but all I could hear were the Boston fans! It really was like a library until the last few minutes when they knew Guiseley were losing - surely it should have been party all the way as the title was really already won? Was also surprised that so many home fans were leaving the ground straight away - if we had won the title at home, most of the crowd would have stayed for at least half an hour afterwards! If all the recent success has made them blase about winning, their crowds will soon fall next season when they find life more difficult at the higher level.
