Now that the worst Boscombe can finish is fifth, I thought that I would see what William Hill thinks. Well, the bookie seems very confident that automatic promotion is the most likely outcome, and is offering odds of 9-1 against us ending up in the play-offs. So, an "insurance premium" £10 will...

One way of utilising him at left back might be to play a 4-4-2 with Zemura playing the wide left-midfield position.

Didn't Boscombe score five in a cup match at this time of year last season? Against West Ham? A good omen, perhaps.

Have I missed something? Have Boscombe just been relegated? I thought that they had got to the play offs and gained a two goal advantage before events overtook them. Only once before in their history have they finished higher in the Championship. Still, have your moans and get it out of your...

I wouldn't mind that... My father played for Bath City a long, long time ago.

The golden era for me was when I could watch Dowsett, Bumstead, Coxon etc. My favourite though had to be Ronnie Bolton

Someone can correct me, but I have a feeling that Boscombe were also the last unbeaten team in one of the seasons in the early sixties. It was confirmed after an away win at Peterborough. One of the Sunday papers carried the headline "South Coast Sizzlers", although it could also have been...
