@ThomasFeaheny Solid effort again from @bostonunited , I thought there'd be a drop off after last year but not a bit of it. Every away turnout over 100 with 3 localish (Wealdstone, Brackley & Solihull) left.

Today's National League away attendances Aldershot Town 1,105 Southend United 389 Scunthorpe United 271 Truro City 201 Boston United 196 FC Halifax Town 133 Brackley Town 103 Tamworth 94 Wealdstone 78 Morecambe 66 Gateshead 65 Eastleigh 45

@bostonutdstats Putrid is a bit strong Christian. We scored 2 excellent goals and had them worried going into the last half hour. I thought we were well in it even at 3-2, but they picked us off last 15 minutes as we inevitably tired.

Putrid performance eventually punished by a less-than-perfect Carlisle. 11 goals shipped in 2 visits here First recorded time we’ve conceded a pen, own goal and had a red card in a league game EVER Not recorded a worse second half (0-5) since 1964- 6 conceded in a 7-0 at Goole

@UK47Gooner @bostonunited Bit unfair mate, 11 v 11 and its never 6-2, but they picked us off after the red card. And if the effort goes in instead of hitting the bar at 3-2 they are wobbling.

@bostonunited Fell to pieces.

FULL-TIME: Carlisle United 6-2 Boston United (Armstrong 24, Linney 62 pen, Lankshear OG 73, Ajiboye 82, 89, Mugabi 90+8; Hiwula 37, Maguire 40).

@bostonunited That crowd there are a massive hindrance to thst side, they got on the players backs at every turn, every bad pass & mistake and they had a go. They only got behind them when they were 2 goals clear and the game was won. At 2-2 with 11 that's a tight game, but they were ruthless

@UttleyRobert @kirtonskeldyke A deserving cause, how far did Albert's go back?

@ButlerAndy @kirtonskeldyke @ButlerAndy I only have my 1975/76 one left. First year of the south stand. I gave Albert's old ones to a member of the #CBF

@kirtonskeldyke Seen these @UttleyRobert , can't beat a bit of old skool

@ButlerAndy Tell me about it! And I somehow preferred the Chelsea of back then. We went to games with hope rather than expectation!

@kirtonskeldyke Old skool Chelsea I never knew Fair play Paul, bet you're like most, priced out these days by the nu footie audience. I went twice before the money came in, very edgy down there, but in a good way, old London boozers and character galore.

@FootballInT80s Proper Sheffield United goal of that era, not a lot of subtlety but very effective, that tactic u did much better sides than that Chelsea one.

34 years ago today: The Chelsea and Stamford Bridge of 1992 couldn’t be further away from the institution that exists now. Sheffield United’s winning goal that day belongs to a very different era too.

@UttleyRobert Was that s few weeks after the cup game Bob?

Proper football Only around twelve thousand at Stamfird Bridge that day.

@UttleyRobert @officialcufc Is she? Its a Southern thing mate, next thing you know you'll be de-camping to Southampton and you'll be singing 'when the saints go marching in '!!!!!

@ButlerAndy @officialcufc No I'm not Andy. The new club 1st team captain is in his mid thirties. I'm a mere second teamer on Saturday. Mrs Uttley though is captain of the Friday night team.

Micks Magic Bus in association with Sausage Rohl Tours conveying the masses to @officialcufc for a no doubt mildly disappointed afternoon of sport

@UttleyRobert @officialcufc The bowls club is on the horizon Robert, don't think I'm getting away with it!!!! Are you the youngest there mate? My daughter in law is barely 30 but she bowls for the county, she's mustard at it.

@ButlerAndy @officialcufc I'm on a three hour (THREE EFFIN HOUR) safeguarding course for the bowls club this morning 🤦‍♂️. Probably being taught we can't refer to coffin dodgers as coffin dodgers 🤷 Oh for a three hour bus journey, football banter, and a savoury pastry. You lucky person @ButlerAndy 😁

@nffc2009 I believe the contractors are going to make a few dates available for fans to pop in and gets sets etc. Ill post something when they do.

@ButlerAndy Andy , how would I get a seat from the York Street Stand before they are all demolished? Spent many a sat/wed sat in there with my dad . #bostonshire #bostonunited

3 generations and to be the last in the line is tough. Please try and support the events he puts on, there are very few, if any venues like The Glider left and it needs a preservation order slapping on it now!

Like Andrew who works tirelessly to keep The Gliderdrome going despite other attractions and a lack of funding that is both extraordinary and shameful in equal measures when you see what is handed over to other fly by night projects. The football club has been in his family for

I want to thank Andrew Malkinson for his help making this happen. The 3 of us were privileged to be the last fans allowed in to the ground, we've all done the hard yards over the decades and it was clear this was a tough moment for Andrew too, life can be very tough for good guys

The place that meant so much to so many of us.

@andyrob62660587 About sums it up really, something we all knew anyway and were privileged to have on our doorstep for 5 decades.

@henrywinter Never saw Ashley Cole have a bad game. That autobiography wasn't his smartest move though and a lot of people made a judgement based on comments in that. A shame, one of the genuinely World class players we've produced in the last 30 years

Every time I’ve watched England Under-21s train at home or abroad over the past five years, Ashley Cole was out there early, laying out the balls and cones (pic below), discussing the session with the head coach Lee Carsley. He gave individual instruction to defenders like Levi Colwill and Tino Livramento. They spoke highly of Cole’s counsel and desire to improve them as players. His work ethic and humility inspired them. In matches, Cole would sort the subs with the fourth official. No airs or graces, even though Cole was a genuine superstar as a player. He was the most consistent of the Golden Generation, England’s greatest ever left-back, seventh on his country’s all-time appearance list with 107 caps, winner of seven trophies with Arsenal, nine with Chelsea. He stood up to Cristiano Ronaldo and Arjen Robben. He nailed his two shootout penalties in the 2008 and 2012 UCL finals. He was an elite competitor and winner. After retiring at 38, Cole could have played golf or gone into punditry. Instead, he’s built a coaching career. Along with some other reporters, I helped Cole do the media module of his Pro Licence at St George’s Park. Cole's attention to detail and desire to deliver in his second career was very clear to us. Cole worked his way up, assisting Frank Lampard at Derby, coaching in Chelsea’s academy when Lampard went to the Bridge, and then assisting Lampard at Everton. He assisted Wayne Rooney at Birmingham City. He also assisted Carsley in his six games as caretaker of England’s seniors before becoming a full-time FA coach. Cole, 45, now takes on his first managerial role – at Cesena in Serie B. It’s only until the end of June but an experience, an education and with the possibility of a longer stay. Good luck to Cole. He’s earned the opportunity. He’s grafted for it.
