He has a point to be fair, that is ridiculous even by UCL standards. I know it's easy to criticise but I honestly think a bunch of chimps on LSD could do a better job arranging the fixtures. I don't really agree with point about people not being able to afford to go to that many games in a row as Spalding have no fans and we are not talking about £40 a ticket :?

I just went and watched Spalding get soundly beaten 4-0 by a youthful St Neots side. In fairness Spalding were the better side until the break but faded horribly.

Lewis Hilliard scored a nice goal, but didn't have to do too much. His shot just before half time would have been a great goal as well, but just went over.

Holbeach got thrashed 6-0 at Stamford. Jordan Smith who scored the first goal against us scored 4 goals this afternoon.

Is that the Jordan Smith that played for K*ttering briefly in the BSP? He would of easily made it higher if he didn't have a leg break earlier in his career.

I don't know about K*ttering, but he played for Corby Town in the BSN the season before last and I watched him in many games. They played him a lot on the wing and he struggled. He was signed from Thurnby Nirvana. Graham Drury then signed him at Boston United last season. He's very quick but a bit of a headless chicken at times.

Re: fixture stupidity. I've been putting the dates in my diary and I've seen that we'll have played 10 teams (inc. Wellingborough) home and away by January 1st, unless there are some postponements. The closest are Kempston (17 days between fixtures) and PNS (18 days). It's no wonder the fixtures secretary is criticised so much!
