What a player Gareth O’Connor was. Was a great day, but the fact that a team including Wade Elliot, Gareth O’Connor, James Hayter, Warren Feeney, Warren Cummings and Carl Fletcher did not make the automatic spots that year was a travesty.

Interesting comment in the report that afcb were the first team to score 5 in a play off final and against team with best defensive record in the division that season.
Those Lincoln fans may have been friendly before the game but they were anything but in the station afterwards.Very easy drive up with a friend and my son, everything seemed so well organised cheap and easy parking, had a stroll around Cardiff with lots of boisterous Cherries fans about, had a pre match lunch with some Lincoln fans sitting nearby who were all very friendly.
Fantastic stadium and brilliant atmosphere and what a game with some great goals. Loved that team and sometimes miss those days where my son and I could leave home just before 1pm get to the ground before 2pm and buy a ticket for the game
As always the defence let us down, an abundance of attacking talent, but relying on the likes of Maher and Broadhurst meant that clean sheets were hard to come by. At the point we had integrated Stock into the team and had Spicer playing along side him, that team was something special for that level. Should have at least made the play offs before it was torn apart. O’Connor in his last season for us could have played at pl level, he would have if it wasn’t for the injuries I’m convinced. Such a classy player.should have gone up the next season or at least made play offs too. On their day,best team in the league but too many poor off days
I though Gareth O’Connor was great but seemed to lose his way - pale shadow of his former self when he came back on loan

I know many blokes who cant even talk to their ex wife, let alone take them away to a footie match for the weekendA fantastic game. I travelled up the day before with the ex wife. Some heavy traffic saw us get to our hotel about three miles from town centre.
A very expensive morning taking her shopping and I headed for the pubs looking for my mates. Had time for a few and into the ground. Was on my Todd but people just talk to each other at games like this.
The game and the goals were fab and I don't think it'll ever be out of my top five AFCB games. Eventually I spotted my mates only a few rows away and headed off for a few pints only to lose them when I stopped to talk to people I know. !!
So out with the wife and a meal.and a few beers. She had a drink problem and wanted to stop drinking....So limited beers!! She's never drank since!!!
Think the whole weekend cost 500 quid!! If I happened now I'd find my mates via mobiles and it be Travelodge and a lot of beer!! She always liked the pricey hotels!!
