Title: Interesting game at Retford on Tues night.

OK so its non league - but for those not going to PNE and looking for an alternative there is a Unibond top of the table clash between Retford and Boston United this tues night.

Both teams pushing for top spot, previously drawing 1-1 at York Street (or Batemans Stadium).

I see that Retford are appealing for extra Stewards and offering free entry and expenses for willing volunteers as they are expecting a large contingent from Lincolnshire to descend.

Boston will bring a good few hundred and will easily outnumber the home supporters - should be a good entertaining game.

Retford actually beat Boston 1-0 in the first fixture, so Boston will be looking for revenge.

Another thing that makes it interesting is that Paul Ellender, once a chief tormenter of Rovers in our non-league days, plays for Retford so will be looking to get one over on his old club.

No worries, my future father-in-law is a season ticket holder at Boston so I tend to keep an eye on their results, plus with me being from Retford that was a result that sticks in my mind!
