Best team: Cambridge, due to the sheer fact there the only team who matched us when we played them, you can say but we lost to some teams, but in all 3 matches cambridge were just as good as us, despite there manager being a ......
Worst team: Northwich at home, no hope, pointless in them being there, could have been a lot more then 5 if the game was any longer then 90 minutes, although saying that, they looked promising at the away game. Best food: Kidderminster, easy, nicest chicken curry i've ever tasted. Although I have to give a shout to the gravy and chips at northwich, absolutely gorgeous! Worst food: Had a cold chip butty at Burton, that was pretty bad. Best supporters: In terms of visitng the Rec, easily Cambridge, fantastic set of fans that night who clearly showed it's not all about quantity. Loudest supporters: Again probably cambridge. (maybe falls into bracket above?)
Best atmosphere: Again I wish I could say cambridge, but we failed to contribute much to the atmosphere that night, I suppose torquay was a pretty good, but the weymouth atmosphere was special, two sides of the Eastbank and the North stand singing, quality.
Best away day: Torquay - don't think i've ever been so happy to see the ball hit the back of the net. Worst away day: Grays, crap ground, crap performance, crap result. Best ground: In terms of sheer size and quality oxford, but in terms of a good atmosphere, cambridge I think, a brilliant atmosphere was generated at the cup game. Worst ground: Hayes and Yeading to those who went, but in the league, I would say Grays. Best opposition player: Sacha Opinel, played excellently in the second leg of the trophy. Worst opposition player: Hmm, maybe Simeone Jackson for Rushden in November, had such high expectations of him, but the amount of 1on1's he missed that day was unbelievable, not neccessarily the worst player, but deffinetly cwas compared to what people were saying about him. - One for us personally - Best display? Crawley at Home.
Best team: Torquay United. Alright, so they finished 3rd on goal difference, but I think they were the best team we played all season. Dicking us 3-0 at home definitely showed that they were setting the pace, and over the season I reckon they were the second best team in the league.
Worst team: Woking They only finished 12 points off relegation, so clearly, they weren't that good. But beating them 4 times in a season truly means they're s**t!
Best food: Stafford Rangers. I think they were the only place you could get curry sauce on your chips! Quality burgers, quality chips, and not at all expensive! Top grub!
Worst food: Ebbsfleet United. The chips weren't even cooked. The burgers were cold. And, to top it all off, they were **** expensive!
Best supporters: Northwich Victoria. Let's be fair. There were about 10 of them, and they were bottom of the league. We even dicked them 5-0. Their team was utter toilet, but their fans sung for 90 minutes, waved their shirts around their heads, and generally had a good laugh. They were a great bunch of fans, and a credit to their club.
Loudest supporters: Cambridge United. Ebbsfleet were a close second because of the poor drumming at our place, but I think Cambridge were definitely loud at our place. Poor at Abbey Road, but good in the East Bank.
Best atmosphere: Torquay United away. I think there was a few good atmospheric games this season. Ebbsfleet away in the league, Woking in the Setanta Shield, and, as always, Oxford away. But the night down at Plainmoor was just amazing. I think that was the night we all began to "believe", and the fans definitely showed that.
Best away day: Rushden & Diamonds away. The YMCA theme just made it even better, didn't it? The result didn't matter, it was all about having a laugh, having a few shandies, and enjoying the day. And we did just that.
Worst away day: Ebbsfleet United away (FA Trophy). One of the grounds I definitely won't miss this season. A crap result, coupled with crap weather and a crap place to go, just intensified the fact that we weren't going to Wembley. It seems that place was bombed in WWII, and no-one decided to put it back together again.
Best ground: Rushden & Diamonds. I personally think that Nene Park is one of the best grounds I've been to. If we were to move to a new ground, I'd want it to be exactly like what they've got in Rushden. Although, I think the away fans should be given terracing as well as seats, but that's still a tidy stand they give us.
Worst ground: Ebbsfleet United. If you want an explanation, look above. It's so bad, they have to condemn parts of the ground because it's falling apart. I hate that place.
Best opposition player: Tom Hutchinson - Woking. Quality centre-back in my opinion, and, if we've got the cash, I'd be wanting to sign that lad. Excellent leadership quality, and you can't doubt his defensive ability. I think someone gave him the wrong directions when he was on the way to Aldershot!
Worst opposition player: Mikkel Anderson - Torquay. Now, people have said otherwise, but I still think that he could've saved Scotty Davies' strike in the 93rd minute. He smashed it damn hard, but I still think he could've tipped it round the post. And, as for the howler with his defender for Danny Hylton's goal, I won't even bother. Poor.
Best display: Rushden & Diamonds away. I know, it didn't come out the best we had imagined, but for something we've never done before, and having just 90 minutes to set up, I think it went well. Looked good from afar, despite it looking like we had red and white paper!
Best team: Burton absolutley out-classed us at their place. Grays were very good both at the Rec and at their place. Torquay and Cambridge both deserve a mention too. Worst team: Hayes & Yeading United - we strolled to a 5-0 win without really coming out of 1st gear. Best food: The chip butty at Farsley Celtic. Worst food: The burgers at Aldershot from the van nearest the East Bank, wouldn't be so bad if they actually cooked the onions and didn't charge me £2.50! Best supporters: At The Rec - Torquay, Cambridge or Rushden (Setanta Shield) At an away game - Tamworth were loud, Woking made some noise at times and I was suprised at how good Altrincham's fans were. Loudest supporters: See above :) (maybe falls into bracket above?)
Best atmosphere: Oxford away or Woking in the FA Trophy. Best away day: Forest Green, Oxford, Salisbury, Woking (FA Trophy), Northwich, Farsley, Ebbsfleet (league), Exeter and Rushden were all quality days/nights out.
Worst away day: Burton Albion or Ebbsfleet in the Trophy.
Best ground: My personal favourite is Kidderminster.
Worst ground: Crawley or Ebbsfleet.
Best opposition player: Pass.
Worst opposition player: Pass.-

Best team: Forest Green Rovers, 2 really tight games and Fleetwood was a handfull for our back line.
Worst team: Woe-king........Says it all! Best food: Halifax.......Chips and Curry sauce plus a really nice Hotdog ( yes I know I'm a fat bastard! ) Worst food: Exeter......They ran out at halftime and they didn't have proper milk for my cup of tea so I threatened to throw it over the bloke serving! Best supporters: Weymouth for the way they stayed at the end for the trophy presentation.........Loyal supporters! Loudest supporters: Cambridge. (maybe falls into bracket above?)
Best atmosphere: Home: Oxford in the Setanta Sheild Away: Torquay........What a night!.....Oh Scotty Davies!, oh if ya.....
Best away day: As above^ Worst away day: York City, Nowhere to park, No food, no flags, freezing cold........We lost 2-0. (though this was the last time we were to lose in the league for rest of season) Best ground: Northwich (mainly for the clubhouse) Worst ground: Burton.....Concrete,concrete, and more concrete but absolutely no character. Best opposition player: Stuart Fleetwood ( would have scored a hatrick at the Rec if not for Bully ) Worst opposition player: The keeper that was on loan to Torquay from Reading when we beat them at their place. He handed us that game. Saw him playing for Reading res last week, well he was on the bench. Couldn't resist a cheeky comment! - One for us personally - Best display? Farsley away.......We wrecked the joint, connfetti and balloons everywhere!
