JE's Orange Army have let in two injury time goals to lose 3-2, they were 2-0 up! :(

Found myself in Cambridge today so popped along to the abbey in the Cambridge end, K*ttering were woeful just going through the motions, 109 away fans made the 45 min journey (I counted 92!) and they didn't make a sound once all game, I seem to recall us going to Boston whilst relegated and signing most of the match.
Cambridge were not that much better to be fair, I could have sworn football was better at bsp level!!

Interesting "chat" on Ploppynet about admission prices for next season. Looks like the faithful would be happy with a £13 entry fee for BSN/S football next season .................... funny when you look back at the very first post in this thread which was relating to Ladick's desperate attempt at getting people along to Nene Park by dropping the price from £18 to £12 for the remainder of 2011 - that worked well for them didn't it? ;)

£13, playing away from K*ttering, maybe even Southern League Premier football if things don't go well at the AGM Cup Final - even if it is BSN/S, it doesn't look good for them does it?

They've also just realised that the season ticket pricing which might not have been too bad for the 23-game Conference Premier looks ludicrous for the 21-game Conference North - and unless they charge £17 or £18 on the day then those that buy season tickets during the summer will pay more that those who pay on the day !

Perhaps this was a genuine oversight - or was it an attempt to dupe the fans ?

Probably a genuine oversight - but I honestly can't see what the answer is for them.

The problem is last time they dropped to the BSN they dropped their prices and people, in the main, stayed faithful, but this time they're at Nene Park, they need to charge higher prices to cover their much igher costs, that in turn will drive people away............. a real receipt for disaster.

Northamptonshire football is in a right old mess isn't it? Corby just 4 points off relegation (even though they're 11th in the table), Knobblers safe now, but hardly setting the world alight, Ploppies in financial meltdown as well as relegated.

They seem to think we all want them dead, I don't want that, what's rivalry without rivals?
