| Disappointing
result, certainly two points dropped. Carlisle came for a draw,
and fair play to them, they got it. It was a frustrating match
with Duffield hitting the post and Angel blasting over from
a couple of yards. I still think we'll survive, the other sides
are relying too much on luck (Exeter last minute goal) whilst
we have the quality. Thommo and the team need our backing now,
so let's make York Street a fortress and lets get the 4 or 5
wins that we need. Come on United, if we survve this year we
can build up and on, Come on you Pilgrims! |

of tomorrow's crunch tie with Carlisle. The Cumbrians will be
in bouyant mood after making the LDV Vans final. I think that
we'll win, 2-0 possibly and I'm tipping Duffield to get our
first, he's due a goal, especially against a team that conceded
5 to Hull! I hope to see Angel in the starting line-up and think
that 46-48 points will be enough to stop up. With games against
Rochdale, Darlington, Macclesfield, Southend, Orient, Hull,
Wrexham, Rushden, Torquay, Carisle, Cambridge and Shrewbury,
I think we can get the 4 or 5 wins required and hope to build
on this season. I think a higher finish and no relgation fight
next year is definitely possible. We look solid now and have
the men to score us the goals, if we add a bit more strength
and Redfearn continues we'll push the best for the Play-Offs!

| Fantastic
result for the Imps on Tuesday. The commentator on BBC Cleveland
nearly choked as the 3rd goal went in! You might also be interested
to note that the Northern Echo claimed Lincoln used "spoiling
tactics", i.e, we didn't just roll over & let HUFC win (this
seemed to be the basis for Chris Turners outburst after the
game at Hartlepool as well). These opposition managers who criticise
the Imps don't seem to realise this only acts as an incentive
for us - so good luck to Leroy & Torquay for their end of season
visit! Well done to Keith & everyone at Sinny Bank. |

| Decent
point for Boston tonight considering the sendings off. Make
Saturday's game at home to Carlisle all the more crucial - I
think a win and we're almost there. I think 42 points should
be enough to stay up. Why play Simon left wing when Mark Angel
is left on the bench - if he was fit (and he should be after
suspension) why wasn't he playing - he's the one player we've
got who can carve teams open on his own. |

| Disappointing
result for Boston United today. We mustn't get too down though,
Tommo said after the Scunny match that we shouldn't get too
carried away with a win, and too downhearted with a defeat.
We need to regroup and build on our recent run, starting at
the Vetchfield on Tuesday. If we get some of the players back,
we have got an horrendous injury list, then we will survive.
Four more wins are required to survive, I'm completely confident
we can get them, lets get behind the boys to beat the Swans
and Cumbrians! |

City have been on Level terms at half time in 18 games so far
this season - they've gone on to gain 32 of their 49 points
in those games, and have only lost 3 of the 18 matches where
they were drawing at half-time, so no one can really critise
the team. they've only scored four times in the last five minutes
of a game this season - and only won once in the ten games where
they've conceded a goal first, so a Draw isan excellent result!!!! |

are on a terrific run of form at the minute and it's about time
that the man who's masterminded this run gets some credit. Neil
Thompson has stuck to his principles throughout, has acted very
well under extreme pressure and the team's playing magnificently,
members of Spayne Lane were compelled to sing 'It's just like
watching Brazil!' All his signings have been astute and the
team is gelling together to form an impressive unit from back-to-front.
Just rewards for Neil's excellent work throughout the season.
Hope we can keep Paddy in our defence and beat Oxford at the
Kassam this Saturday, our record against play-off teams, has
in general, been very good, we've dispatched of Rochdale, Scunny,
Kiddy, Torquay, Lincoln and York. COME ON UNITED!!! |

display from Gainsborough Trinity - ok so we beat Hyde who are
bottom of the league but it was an assured performance and places
Trinity in 11th place in the table. If we can keep it going
a top 6 spot is on and next season it would be great to push
for the conference. Only 5 point seperate the next 6 positions
in the Unibond Premier so it is all to play for. Goals for Trinity
were : Luke Staton 39 Grant 34 Grant 73 Grant 74 Lee Ellington
54 and for Hyde: Lee Evans 71 |

am glad to see boston are reaping the benefits for their performances.
It has been a long time in comming and I am sure that it will
not be too- little too- late. We have on many occasions outplayed
the top teams in the league and thanks to the draconian referees
that we have had on numerous occasions, have suffered badly
from dubious decisions. On the point of referees, it would seem
that many of them have a 'school boy' acumen, often punishing
just men, unjustly. Good luck for the rest of the season, lets
bring out the 'Spayne Road Massive' tonight. Up the pilgrims! |

Being
a supporter of all Lincolnshire teams but in particular a Boston
supporter I have been reading the comments on the message board
regarding the great FM/AM debate. I have read the comments made
by Micheal Hortin with regard to this decision and would like
to make the following observations. With regard to consistency
and confusion.
It is consistant to commentate on all away games for both Boston
& Lincoln on FM and this does not cause confusion. In Boston
where I live the reception is very poor and I have to decipher
between the magnificent Scot Dalton and some other commentry
from another obscure station. Where my daughter lives in the
Boston area she can't receive Radio Lincolnshire on MW at all.
With regard to the major financial outlay. I am sure the supporters
of both teams appreciate the efforts of Radio Lincolnshire but
surely there is no added expense in transmitting away matches
for both teams on FM. Finally if all decisions made by Radio
Lincolnshire are open to constant review now is the time to
review this one!! |

| I'm
having great difficulty in picking up the Boston commentry on
medium wave and cannot understand why Boston is on medium wave
when Lincolns home matches are put on FM. Surely it would make
more sense to put the away matches on FM and away on Medium
Wave. If you were a true supporter you would be at the home
matches anyway??!! Up the Pilgrims!! Hope to here more games
on FM. |

| Well
Done Thommo and Boston United! Another clean sheet, another
good defensive performance and a professioanl away performance.
Redfearn was again inspirational and with Duffield, Logan, Douglas,
Town and George we have real firepower to add to our solidarity.
Lets get behind Thommo, who has been thoroughly professional
throughout the campaign and lets see United beat Wrexham and
Kidderminster at York Street and go onto survive the drop and
prepare for the title of surprise team of next year! |

| What
a result, when it said 5 minutes injury time it was unbearable
untill Douglas made it 2-0. 5 goals conceeded in 10 games and
16 points in that period, just imagine if we had held out at
Bournemouth, that could of been 3 on the bounce. Full credit
to the defence as long as we can keep it tight and not conceed
we will surely finish outside the bottom 2, please pass on my
congratulations to the team on a superb vital 3 points today. |

| Re:
MW Coverage. It is obvious that with the exception of Scott
Dalton all the sports team are chimps fans, but the decision
to give FM coverage to Lincoln home games is rather strange.
Perhaps like me Lincoln fans don't like to go to Sincil bank
??? |

have read and heard the comments about `Frequency Gate`, and
must admit that I do think it is strange to have Lincoln on
FM and Boston ao AM, I know that where I live the coverage on
AM is poor, surely how many people are going to listen to Lincoln
at home, compared to Boston away at Exeter?? If it is the role
of the BBC to cater for the needs of the listening public, then
they have made a poor decision in this case. I applaude the
coverage that is now given by the BBC, but this seems a backwards
step, the use of FM on away matches seemed to be a successful
one, If it aint broke, why fix it? As license payers and therefore
the `Breadwinners` of the BBC, surely our views need to be taken
seriously. If there is no biase towards either club, then they
should prove it. ts a poor business that doesnt listen to its
customer, and I havent heard one person say its a good idea.
Dont damage the good work you have done, by enduring with one
poor decision. |

| I'm
not one for message boards on the internet, but as a local football
supporter of many years standing, of both Lincoln City and currently
a season ticket at Boston United, and travel to Sincil Bank
to see City on occasions, I am surprised that the only way now
to listen to Boston United in of the crackly old Medium wave,
which, well, let's face, could be a lot clearer at times. Why
not put the away team on the FM frequency, and the home on MW.
This way the proper supporter can attend their favourite team
at home, and when they are away can sit at home next to their
stereo, if not attending another match! Surely this would be
fair to all local supporters? Having said that I am not here
to complain about the coverage up to now, I think Radio Lincolnshire
do a great job! Look forward to hearing the alternative argument
to this, personally, I don't really see one. |

We
passed this message on to Michael Hortin, the Sport Producer for
BBC Radio Lincolnshire and this is what he has to say on the subject:
|
"Having
come from a position just over three years ago when we did
no commentary at all, of any clubs, I can assure you with
the amount of money invested the decision was done with great
care.
"The
principle reason was for consistency and to avoid confusion.
As regards medium wave we have tested the reception over the
last week or so and it is fine. Infact where I live in the
county medium wave is more than often better than the FM reception.
Infact most of the radios in my house are tuned into 1368mw.
"Having
done more than 50 commentaries of United since the Doc Martens
Days personally I remain committed to the Pilgrims. The decision
to double the commentaries we do of the club, which involves
a major financial outlay for my boss, is an example of that.
Like all decisions what we do will I am sure be open to constant
review"
