Left home at approx 17:30 and got the bus to Amen Corner where I walked to Tooting station where I got the 280 to the ground. Got to the ground just after 18:30 ish and starting selling programmes at the Gander Green Lane End. Didn't sell out of programmes and ended up having about half a box left at KO. 1st half was an even affair with both sides playing some good passing football. Both had half chances in the 1st half but we didn't take any and ended up gifting them two goals within a couple of mins. Went in 2-0 down at HT which then allowed FGR to sit back and defend their 2 goal lead for the rest of the game. 2nd half we completely dominated the half and probably should've got a point out of the game but we were very shot-shy. Finally got behind in the 90th min but Biamou was brought down in a goal scoring opportunity which saw their centre back get sent off. The referee insisted on giving every decision to FGR. We ended up getting a goal back in the 95th min but was too little, too late. FGR defended well and look solid in defence but I can't see them getting automatic promotion due to the gap between them and Lincoln.
