Hi Boston fans.
I am very much looking forward to the game & any (good natured) banter we can get going in the mean time!
I too remember "the" drop ball incident, I couldn't make that game but listened on the radio & was shocked at what we did! I remember thinking "I bet the Boston fans are going f*****g mental!"
Our form in the league is very up & down, but we are (at times) playing some very nice & effective football, an ethos brought in by the new manager. We totally outplay teams like Luton, Cambridge & (for the 1st half) Leyton Orient, but then lose our guts/grit & lose 3-0 to a very poor Hereford. Who knows what we'll be like come the 30th. I think we rely heavily on key players (Ellington, Ledsham, Hurst), so if they're fit I fancy us.
We (Southport as a town) are famous for a number of vague honours such as having the 2nd longest pier in the UK, & I for one consider Southport as part of Lancashire despite the scousers getting the borders moved for their own benefit in '71.
Nearer the time I'll bung up a go to guide for you lot on match day.
