A point away from home at this time of the season is not a bad thing, I'd be much more concerned if we hadn't played well nor created chances. We're still gelling as a team and to average 2 points a game is good. I see the offy site has an attendance of around 350, so that's a good turnout.

Positive note: Their lovely egg sandwichs soaked up the alcohol in my stomach very nicely. Oh and it didn't rain and at least we could all let out the anger of the first 82 minutes when we scored. I knocked over my drink.

Any more news on Champagne-gate?

Champagne gate is over and done with, we move on to Harrowby and the talent spotting continues.

Wootton are top of my league so far 8-) 8-)

Will we find out an official attendance at some point, cause I was given a slip with 244 on it when I went in and that was 5/10 minutes before kickoff and I'm not sure whether there were as many as 100 that came in after me, but I may be wrong.

Edit: I was wrong :lol:

Well that was a frustrating game!

We really didn't play as well we can today, but despite that we still dominated the match and had we taken our chances we could, and perhaps we should, have scored 3 or 4 goals! On a positive note I thought Dent and Merrill played very well and Alfie looks to be on fire.

With regards to the concerns raised by "nsman" I think anybody who goes to a football match, at any level, expecting there to be no bad language is, with the greatest respect, being incredibly naive - bad language, rightly or wrongly, is ubiquitous in football. Of course, if the reports of racism are true, then that is on a whole other level and is completely unacceptable. However, I would have thought that the more prudent course of action would have been to raise this with an official from the home club, so they could take immediate action; or perhaps contact the club directly, rather than post on an unofficial messageboard.

the opposing teams fans are free to chant back ;) and im sure some will ,its all part of the game
i was at a yoof game yesterday and i was absolutely shocked by the amount of swearing these young lads come out with if i had been the opposing teams manager i think i would have said something total number of spectators me and two others.........so all in all a few chants in a crowd of nearly 350 isnt that bad now please back to football ;)
