What were they doing? wearing their boots in the shower or something!? :lol:

Surely a notice asking them not to wear boots in the shower could be put up, if one hasn't already?!

Have a word with yourself!

So you're not able to sing "Come on Rushden" because you're scared someone is going to ban you.

Do me a favour.

As for the rest of this thread, some of the criticism on here makes me feel sick. Draw a football match and all of a sudden all these people come out of the woodwork to criticise everything from the ground, to the pitch, the burger bar, the players and even their own fellow supporters. We are not going to win every game and yes not everything is perfect, but there are people working very hard at the club to correct almost everything that has been criticised over the past 14 pages. It takes time though and won't all happen overnight.

I'm as dissapointed as the next person with the performance and result but that's football. We move on and to put positive slant on things its better to have a wake-up call by drawing with Burton than it would be to scrape a win against them and then get the wake-up call against Bugbrooke.

I also completely agree that we need to sort the atmosphere. With that in mind I am going to stand at the back of the DeBanke in the middle tomorrow and sing my head off for 90 minutes. I hope that some of you can join me.

brilliant, I'll be there too, do I have to take my stewards vest off? 8-)

It only takes about 10 minutes to go around the whole pitch/ stadium as there are plenty of bins now. Any help would be appreciated and we'll soon need help to replace the divots on the pitch as well (legal pitch invasion! :lol: )

Well it seems after an inspired game against us last week it seems after tonight the Burton 'keeper may have a bad back as Silby beat them 8 nil and never got out of second gear. :?

Without wishing to sound all negative again - especially after the positive performance last night - I think a result like that from one of our supposed rivals highlights the need to mix things up within our own squad. It's worrying to think that a team we couldn't beat have been so easily dismantled like that.

Looking at the table, we've only scored two more than Buckingham who are bottom having lost 9/10 games. If it wasn't already, I think Eynesbury is a big game for us. Lose and the likelihood is we'll get cut adrift. Win and we're pulling away from the chasing pack.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

whilst i think saturdays is important, it's not going to be lose it and thats it, theres plenty of football to be played yet, Sileby and Oadby are the form teams but they'll have a dip in form at some stage. If we remain unbeaten during ours we should be ok.

Despite not scoring as many as our competitors we have the best defensive record in the league
