On this day in 2011...

We didn't play, because it was postponed en route. We were supposed to be away to Rushden.

I was on the players' coach as the supporters' one was full. They ended up training in Gloucester, resulting in the oddest set of photos I've ever taken. Here is the team photo, see how many of them you can name. Most are obvious, a couple might be stumbling blocks:

Britton, Borhy, Jombati, Jones, Robinson, Watkins, Hogg, Connolly, Howells, Freegard, Lukins, Hart, Rollo, Phillips, Canham, Simpson, Murray, Jeanne

18 on 18.

Borhy is back in Italy but he came over last month to watch Sido play for Wycombe at Spurs.

Bloody hell, Leon Jeanne, there's a waste of talent.

I think we got stuffed 5-1 when it eventually went ahead.

Remember that day well. We were already in Northampton when we heard the game was off, and went to watch Northampton against Aldershot instead. Very different ground from my previous trip to see Northampton (against City in the FA Cup).

Interesting to note that of the top 12 at the finish, 8 have gone up to the 4th tier or above since with only York coming back down. Shows what a great achievement our 10th place was under Adie and Archie.
Mind you it's not looking good for our friends over the bridge this season.

We did, Charlie Clough made his debut. I forgot the battery to my camera, which I didn't realise until I'd made it pitchside. Ended up missing Rushden's first goal because I pretended to take a photo of it. I think we were 4-1 down at half time.

And it was £16 to get in.

I had the honour of being there. I must say I enjoyed last Saturday rather more.
