Boston two up at home against Southend. Currently only in the relegation zone on GD with a game in hand over Dagenham as things stand. 

 

Their fixtures against Aldershot and Wealdstone, twice, will probably determine whether they survive. 

Looking at the form it's hard to see them not staying up, that's a very impressive result tonight.

 

Always had a soft spot for them after managing Boston on a game back in the day an Daryl Clare being an absolute bagman for me lol

I suspect Aldershot's result last night will probably keep them safe and it's hard to see Wealdstone dropping. So they're largely going to be playing teams who have little to play for (Aldershot, Solihull, Wealdstone x2, Sutton) a couple of play-off chasers in Altrincham and Gateshead followed by Maidenhead away on the final day, who may well be gone by then. 

 

I think Boston stay up and Dagenham drop as things stand. With that boost of survival, momentum, the fourth stand bringing in extra revenue and going professional next season, Boston could be an interesting one to watch next season.

Sorry to keep banging on about Boston, but this really underlines what they've been up to this month.

 

Imagine having a team that actively fights relegation and doesn't just roll over and die. It'll never catch on.

We don't have to imagine, we saw it this time 10 years ago and it was great. Good luck to Boston, I know a lad that randomly sponsored a player after getting hammered one night and still to this day sponsors him. Been to quite a few games home and away since then

Wheels finally coming off at Leicester Road with players unpaid 

I think for the good of town of Hinckley, it would better off if either Leicester Road wound up or merger with Hinckley AFC. Make it one town team, playing within the town again. The Leicester Road stadium is a good setup as good potential. Having two clubs in the Hinckley as I think been damaging for both, Hinckley AFC being forced to play out of town for so long, means crowds haven't been great. Leicester Road despite playing in the town haven't attracted many fans. One town team playing at Leicester Road will I think really help the interest of football in Hinckley, especially with the foxes struggling at the present.

You’re right, the town needs one team but they literally play minutes apart now. The stadium is a good facility but I’m convinced the location isn’t great (and as never been great)

Leicester Road is also a crap name for a football club.

They even tried adding 'Hinckley' to the title so Hinckley Leicester Road. But don't sound great.

U16s can get in for free at the last 3 home games for Barwell, brilliant idea from the club!

If you live in Barwell id say go for it. Dont waste any time or money on foxes at the present. Message to any foxes fans that live in Leicester or surrounding areas get to local non league clubs. The foxes dont deserve our support atm not to till certain people leave.

I don't, but I've been going recently and it's been superb to watch. 

 

Giving up my LCFC season ticket to go down there next season full time, far more enjoyable, much better value for money and best of all no VAR.

If Barwell can get their gates up, they could put a serious squad together to push higher up. Just a shame about the manager.

 

Interesting I think some of the seats in the Barwell stand is from Filbert Street.

Went to Boston Vs Southend on Tues and I'm going again on Saturday. I'm prioritising doing as many as their games as possible as I'm not bothering again with Leicester this season. Great atmosphere there and nice to be able to support something worth supporting

Weird today watching boro take on a team with Leicester in the title... dont happen often many many years ago we used to play in the same league as Leicester United.

 

Leicester St Andrews today.. as anyone watched them play. Attendance was could be around 700 mark today.

Out of the relegation zone today after a last-minute winner against Sutton. Wealdstone, who they've just leapfrogged after they lost 3-0 at York, await them on Tuesday night. Win that and I think Boston are probably safe.

Non league proving it’s not utopia many say it is. Was stood next to Halesowen fans when it kicked off in stand. Mouthy lads from harborough who twice tried to get a reaction and eventually got it. Cue Harborough players running over and saying all sorts with no idea of what happened. 
 

EDIT: this isn’t a dig at harborough, as it’s a problem at a lot of well attended non segregated non league games  
 

Piss poor game ruined by the wind but good crowd of 1k and fair play to Harborough getting the goal back against the wind.Game woke up at the end and both teams missed great chances 

 

Harbs into the playoffs but 8 behind Bedford now for top spot. Going to be a fking pain when it’s the crypto boys making the National League

Finished 0-0 between Boro and Leicester St Andrews. A rare bore draw in a game that lacked chances. 857 in attendance which is fantastic at this level, just a shame it was a poor game for the big crowd to witness. However 100 points is up club record never achieved 100 points!! Yep people will argue its a weak league but consider the summer we didn't have a single player its quite good. Also on the radio other day it was said we have actually only used 17 players this season! Which compared to jim Ginnelly management we used 63 players in one season!

Was at the game again today. Boston were the better team first half and let a silly equaliser in. 

 

Sutton were arguably the better team second half really as Boston didn't offer too much. Sutton had a pen saved at 1-1 which was then proved to be a massive moment.

 

The Boston winner looked a bit scuffed or scruffy but it doesn't matter. I'll watch it back though as it was at the other end to me

How was the atmosphere? I've heard it's pretty solid lately given it's a new build.

 

I'm planning on taking my daughter for her first game to either the Altrincham or Wealdstone match.

2 years ago Tamworth were playing Coalville, Barwell and others in the Southern Central Premier Division now they’re 3 points outside the playoffs in the National League for potential promotion to League Two. Regardless of what happens between now and the end of the season that’s a remarkable effort
