Shame I can't get due to work really....... new ground, probable win, not too difficult to get to.

Having said that, Saturday would test anyone's commitment to the cause.

Also a ground we won't play at for a short while unless it's a cup tie

Got the result against a Banbury side who played like a team that were already relegated. Not the best performance this season but worthy winners and got the job done away from home.

Watched the second half on the stick, terrible game at a ground that sums up why we need to be out of this league at the earliest possible opportunity.

Good support in the corner from Boston.

Richard Collins posted a photo of their hot water - it was from a commercial water boiler! Bizarre.

Got the job done - it was not a great game for sure. The pitch was very bobbly which did not help. But we ground out a result through a goal from the MOTM Dylan Hill, he was absolutely superb and ran that game. Fans never stopped singing - it was a brilliant away end to be a part of

How on earth did that ground pass national league regulations?

Ground grading criteria is a funny thing, as long as you've got turnstiles,exit gates and fences in the right place you're halfway there. A few seats, don't have to be covered, and toilets and you are in.

You can download the ground grading requirements from either the FA or National League websites. Whether you think the grounds actually meet the criteria is another matter altogether! I think the whole system is a bit of a bodge, with some clubs getting clamped down on for being three covered seats short, while others clearly get away with murder, or simply don't listen to deadlines.
