Confrence

[surrey jim]

Eastbourne got a 90th min winner away to Grays Athletic
Lewes and Crawley both drew

 

[Gully]

...and Forest Green beat Weymouth, who included Chris McPhee, by a narrow 4-1 margin...get in!!!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Who scored for Boro?

Who scored for Boro?

Smart. And Crabb was sent off in injury time. And Lee Hook saved a pen.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Could be close in the Conference this year, Cambridge started well but got beat at home today. Can see Mansfield going back up, along with Burton Albion going up via the play-offs

 

[Gully]

I fancy Torquay to go straight up, possibly Cambridge through the play-offs...sadly for Burton another season as the perennial bridegroom.

[The Large One]

Good to see they don't let just anybody in.

 

[clarkey]

Not sure a club like Boro can afford to be so exclusive really.

 

[Dave the OAP]

blimey how the mighty fall...look at Torquay!

 

[Midikilledmydog]

went to Lewes today, quite a good game Cullip was commanding, they try to play through the midfield where DK's Nephew had a good game, with a bit more up front they could surprise a few people, best thing about it though was to go to a game and stand, safe standing has to be the way forward

Eastbourne got the highest gate in the league on Saturday over 3,100

 

[Monkey Man]

Eastbourne got the highest gate in the league on Saturday over 3,100

Actually I think it was 2,100 - there was some misreporting in various places.

Still a huge gate though and Cambridge brought down a big contingent which added to the atmosphere. At half time their fans seized the North Stand (where the most vocal Boro fans stand) and tore down a flag before generally outsinging the home fans.

It was all good banter but highlighted, if it needed highlighting, the difference between the two clubs in terms of support. Eastbourne had very little stewarding and no police and there was no segregation. How much longer that will be the case is anyone's guess - hopefully the Priory Lane experience won't become too "football leaguey" because Boro is unashamedly a friendly community club which doesn't pretend it's bigger than it is.

Which nephew was that? You need to be more specific.

 

[Gully]

...that might be difficult as he seems to have so many!

We are FGR, say we are FGR!

Leigh Genesis till i die.

We get 64 at home.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Spoke to a Torquay fan last night. They are not very hopeful for the coming season. They can't work out what's going wrong - people blaming Paul Buckle already. Believe that last season was their chance and they stuffed it up.

 

[Gully]

...you want to try talking to Oxford fans (not always advisable) to hear stories of woe...they were banking on a quick return to the league...doesn't look like happening soon!!!
