Cov day out as such! a weird one. Of course that situation never should have happened, but at least we can say "we seen the Boro play at the Ricoh or whatever it's called now and score two goals and not lose in 90 minutes" It was great day out for both sides on the day. Looking back now it was like one last final great outing as Nuneaton Borough. The games to follow that fixture were pretty bad, the game against Telford at Barwell the following Sunday was depressing watch. 0-0 Draw only 200 'odd there' not even many from Telford travelled, I remember walking away from that thinking the end was near.

The game on the 30th April, is a good way to wrap up a fantastic season. I heard we sold 400 odd tickets which is incredible for a midweek league competition away from home. Obviously tickets sales have been helped by the club winning the title early on and being played at an EFL ground, brought a good feel good factor. I feel even if we lose the final, people won't care it will just be a celebration of a great season for the lads.

I won't be surprised if 600 turn up on the night, which maybe a record for this competition.
