And 583 there today, 11 more than at Corby, not bad for a hastily rearranged game (though i agree BR, thought it was 600+ tbh) :D
Good crowd actually adjusted to 584 and really surprised it beat Corby's figure because I expected Boston to bring a few supporters.

Good performance especially as Gillingwater, Merrill, Wizz and Dent were all unavailable for selection.
I thought the new signing was excellent and Jake was unlucky not to bag a hat trick.
This win puts us up to third place in the table above Eynesbury and a win at Oadby this Saturday will have us snapping at Sileby's heels.

A good afternoon`s entertainment. A lot of things the lads tried did n`t quite come off, which is fair enough, as they had n`t played a competitive game for a while, and the pitch did n`t help. That said, we tried to play football and were worth the points. Lance had his best game so far.
Well done to everyone involved in getting the pitch prepared for the game.
Good to see everyone again. :)

Indeed, I'd like to thank all the volunteers who turned up at short notice today, it was much appreciated.
A good crowd on the back of short notice too 8-) 8-)

Spencer have win their last seven matches so I thought it was a tricky match which we may not have won earlier in the season
Lance played very well do did Harris and Ncbride and the back 3 as well

Lance was my personal MOTM........although Jake's 2 goals did probably swing it in his favour.

On a pudding of a pitch (which held up really well all things considered) I thought both teams played well and delivered an entertaining match. 3 much needed points startes to put some pressure on the sides above us - Saturday is a massive game !!

Heading back to work tomorrow with a spring in my step and a smile on my face .......now wishing my life away and looking forward to Saturday - can't wait, hope I'm still smiling at 5pm on Sat.

Got to say I was very impressed with the crowd yesterday - 584 for a game re-arranged at short notice is terrific.

Despite the heavy pitch, the standard of footie wasn't too bad at all, and we dominated possession for long periods.

Should have been four or five if we're honest.

For me Mcbride was my man of the match, i thought he run his heart out on a very heavy pitch. But i felt there really was only one team in it
