Marcus Law and his boys take on Histon at Rockingham Road tonight aiming for the double of 3-points AND a sub 750 midweek crowd. The coveted, "Attracting less than 750 for a midweek game", title has been fought over in the past few months by the "Mid Table" Poppies* and the "Play-Off Chasing" Diamonds* in an increasingly desperate battle.

The Diamonds thought they'd won the race last week when 759 hardy souls turned up for their heroes throw away a 2-goal lead to Forest Green. Justin Edinburgh commented, "When I looked around the barren stadium at the thousands of empty seats, I really thought we'd cracked the sub 750 mark."
He added, "When the gate came through as 759 me and the lads were gutted! What's wrong with our fans? There was Champions League football on the telly and everything!"
Marcus is quietly confident his lads can pip the Diamonds to the sub 750 title tonight, "We managed to lose to a crap team on Saturday, when we should have been out of sight, and I know for a fact that Histon's official supporter count is zero. If we can't break the 750 figure tonight, I don't think we ever will."
