Few sporting occassions have had me come out in goosebumps, and get those shivers, this one did; this was without a player on the pitch, a ball being kicked; just watching an old stadium fill to bursting Saturday, a swaying kop, scarves, flags, the sun beating down and inflatable sheep bouncing atop the crowd all contributed to an atmosphere and a noise i've never heard before at the Racecourse, let's all get back there for the first game next season! The goosebumps returned on on the drive home on hearing highlights of Ian Gwyn Hughes' commentary on BBC Radio Wales. Sport eh?...Justice. Any set of supporters who chant that mono-tone "Eng-er-lund, Eng-er-lund, Eng-erluuuuund" as loudly as possible over 'any' national anthem deserve what they get... this lot did just that, and got their deserves. What will happen to the "Boston Goals" feature on Soccer AM now?... Like i give a shit!
Speaking of Socer AM: Llewellyns cross to Proctor for the 3rd will be on the programmes "Showboat" feature Saturday morning - the classic cross legged flick/cross (ala Joe Cole / Ronaldo), you know the one! I was sat behind the guy filming this, and he's put it on YouTube! You can't see the cross-legged flick on this vid very well, but you get the jist :-)
3-1 and finished 19th, high and dry above relegation. Survival means I may get to hear the chant at Mansfield Towns 'John Nutter' again next season; "Oi John! Your Missus is a Nutter!" - the best chant of the season, by a long way! Until August then... re-group, re-assess, and push on, and to quote hero Brian Carey: "Make sure this never happens again". What a memory!

The pictures you took are really good. I'd have love to have been there. My favourite chant of the season has to be the one Brighton fans sing about 5t4 midfielder Dean Cox. "Tiny Cox, we've got tiny Cox, we've got tiny Cox!"
