[ Sat 8th Sep ] v Olney Town KO 3pm AWAY

[TheIncognitoKid]

Thought it was going to be one of those days again, Olney were clearly playing for the draw. But that man Alfie Taylor popped up with the winner!

He's a modern day Darren Collins!

The lino in the second half missed a blatant handball and loved waving his flag for offside. Complete cock but hey-ho 3 points will do for me

Looks like On Chenecks drew 2-2 with Thrapston today aswell

513 attendance

That's superb, thought it might be 400 but didn't think it was that many, 450+ away fans then as there didn't seem to be too many home fans, brilliant, hopefully we can get 600+ for next Saturday

Their secretary told Dave Albon that their usual attendance is around 70 and that would include a few visiting fans. So my guess is that were probably 470-475 AFCR&D supporters there today.

A few pics from the game. Redsnapper will have some proper ones of the goal/celebrations. ( I was too busy celebrating, though it did look pretty mental over there :-) )

Here comes the goal, Alfie free and heading toward the 6 yard box for his header.

Apparently Redsnapper's pictures of the goal are really good. I sense a new banner picture.

No ...... battery failure just at the wrong moment ........ ;)

We've scored 8 goals so far this season, 6 from Taylor. He's on fire!

Let's hope he doesn't get injured/suspended/snapped up then! :lol:

Hopefully the signing of Newman will mean it wouldn't be the end of the world if he was to get injured or suspended but he certainly would be a big loss that's for sure. And I guess he'll be keen to be here for a while as you don't drop down 2 divisions for no reason but I have little doubt he'd be a good player quite a few levels above this one.

And SP, was about to post the same thing, its crazy moments like that, that's one of the reasons I love football and Diamonds so much, amazing how only 4 games gone into our first season and we've already got new memories, Diamonds really are forever

Not a great performance perhaps, but a terrific result in the end and a very enjoyable day out.
See Sileby lost at home which could be important in the months to come.
