In response to JIm, you may have heard the chant of " You fat Bastard " after Liam scored the second goal, this was from the AFC fans in the stand taking the piss out of the Barwell fans for having a go at Liam with their chant directed at him

I don't know if the highlights will be up until monday so i have shared the 95th Minute https://t.co/J181SLNd0n

I wondered how it could have got 2000 views in 2 days and being unlisted, but having seen it, it's clear it has so many views cause anyone who watches it has to watch it another 10 times, the sound is excellent on it as well, an awesome roar

Brilliant 30 seconds, that video should be shown to football fans everywhere as an advert for non league football, sure it wasn't the prettiest of goals by any means, but the exceptional drama and passion is all there, it baffles me that so many football 'fans' would rather watch their computer screens at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon than go and actually watch live football and experience the atmosphere and jubilation of late goals, they really are missing out.

On the crowd, it's obviously difficult to estimate how many Diamonds were there with no segregation, but Barwell's average crowd this season is about 200, so assuming there were a few more than that for such a big game, I'd guess there were roughly 500 away and 300 home, it was a stunning turnout from the Diamonds fans

Their average home league crowd this season (191) will include an element of away support in any event. Personally I think there was nearer 600 fans with a 'Rushden' allegiance there on Saturday.

Re: the video. I do enjoy Pete's narration of the videos, but for this clip I do enjoy that it's crowd noise and nothing else. Sometimes the crowd noise and celebrations speak for themselves e.g the Cambridge City goal.
