Highs and lows of a wonderful season

[ironmansimon]

Just wanted to share a quick look back at some personal favourites over the 13/14 season

Highs
1. The away game at Luton, days like that shared with 5 mates dont happen that often GREAT DAY !!
2. Team performance against Wrexham, Just like watching Brazil
3. Charlie Strutton, 6 IN 7 shows what a stirker should do
4. The pace of Bernard Mensah was electrifying
5. What a fantastic game the Newport home game was so much action, great spectacle.
6. For me the emergance of Dan Sparkes has been great to watch
7. Great to see an increase in attendances
8. The improved coverage in the Braintree and Witham times
9. The solid defence real musketeers attitude
10. The P.A at one home game announing the sub of Luke Daley coming on but saying while the mic was on " Whats his fu*$ing number" !

Lows
1. The unenforced winter break consequently the fixture backlog
2. Seans lack of goals and Devs persistance with him
3. The double sendings off against Barnet
4. Our lack of goals at the end in play off push
5. The horror tackle on Bernard that only got a yellow!! Absurd
6. I thought more fans would have attended the away Luton and Barnet games.
7. Why cant we beat Lincoln???
8. Lack of Non league paper coverage and Bt sport home matches?
9. Whimpering out of the FA Trophy so easily.
10. Being unable to find the entrance to Aldershots ground !1 Noone told us you had to walk down througha dimly lit park to get there. We walked 4 miles round the ground instead.

I have always been impressed with the teams gratfulness to the fans and Devs everytime he walks out and back in . well done, Looking forward to next season highs already .

Have to agree with most of what you say Simon. I could've told you about Aldershot having seen Barnet play there some years ago, a very strange set up! As for the crowds at Luton & Barnet; I intended to go to the latter, then BT changed the time to show it on tv. Call me fickle, but it's easier to sit at home and let someone bring the game to you than the hassles and costs of travelling.

The highlight of the season was maintaining our Conference league status which outweighs everything else.

The second highpoint was the way we shot up the league after the enforced layoff to put ourselves as shoo ins for the play-offs. To have to play 3 games in eight days - twice and get the results was a fantastic effort. The downside being that once the playing pressure seemed to be off, we suffered the altitude nosebleed, went off the boil which burst our combined bubble.

In only 10 weeks we go again, hopefully with renewed vigour, experience and nous at this level.

Thanks everyone it's been an exciting ride - again.
