Our crowd, in excess of 1500 that evening, were magnificient for the full 90 minutes.
I wonder how many of them were regulars at Nene Park last season?

What a bloody brilliant night that was...Matt's first away game and he sobbed until we were about 4-0 down but then decided to join in with the singing. Our first time on the coach too...brilliant night

As I had a free ticket in the Luton end, sitting next to 2 of my mates (both luton season ticket holders) ...that game was extra special :lol:

The atmosphere at Luton was great as well, shame the goals weren't up our end.

That was when the Binman tried car jacking on a roundabout trying to get to Highfield Road. The driver panicked as the hi-vis wearing twat attempted to get into the passenger seat, accelerated away leaving our waste collecting officer sprawled over the inside lane of a busy dual carriageway.

Oh my god; I forgot about that; that was a classic, I've got a grainy image of the car driving off.

I sense there is many gaps to fill, especially in the Conference winning season, brought to you in association with Becks, the beer of Champions.

I seem to remember the season starting off slowly with the exception of the Telford game at Worcester, before we burst into life at Woking and then a week later at Kingstonian before the season become messier and messier and the days out became longer and longer.

Missed the majority of the great days, but in addition to obvious ones, in terms of highlights I'd have to say the atmosphere at the Oxford playoff last year, to take 1100 away when we've barely managed that at home this season was just incredible and to also to see so many people up and singing, some that wouldn't usually and in a 5 figure attendance, a great day apart from the result!

Others would be the SS final obviously, Billy Sharp against the Cobblers and his hattrick against Boston, Gateshead etc etc. And 1 other away day that randomly sticks out in my mind was St. Albans, not for the right reasons but will never forget how surreal it all was, having to walk through a park to get to a tiny ground that felt like it was 100 years old and then to go 3-0 down after 12 minutes, it was all like a bad dream!
