Mal's pics are now added to Ollie's Match Report - there's a good sequence of the goalie's howler and also of Elliott's sublime chip.
The stats are also updated too -

Martin Conway the keeper who gifted us the first, the same Martin Conway who played in a pre-season friendly for us away at Stamford last season?

Yes the same one, seen a lot of him in the past in his first spell at Rovers & never witnessed a performance like that. One think i`m sure those there did notice about him, the speed of his distribution, sadly some of his team not on same wave length.

Not even close! Matt Clarke takes that award, for his 40 yard screamer for us while playing for Darlington on November 9th 2002. He was attempting to play a backpass to his 'keeper, Andy Collett (a former Diamond, having played for us on loan in 1999), who attempted to control the ball but instead let it slip between his legs! :lol:
I'm sure you can find it on YouTube somewhere; I would look for it myself but I'm at work at the moment and the ****s recently blocked us from accessing YouTube. :evil:

Interesting to see that our attendance last night of 342 was the fifth highest in non-league football yesterday, not bad bearing in mind there were 22 Step 3 games last night, plus a Conference game at Barnet.
The top crowd in Southern League Premier last night was 276 at Slough. St Neots could only manage 233 at home to Chesham.

There was only 1000 at table topping Barnet as well and a sub-1000 crowd at Accrington in the FL last night, 850 home fans. So yeah, not a bad crowd considering the weather and champion's league on telly. Another 700+ crowd on Saturday would be nice though
