On the final day of the league last season, Bootle's fan base was swelled by the full contingent of Reds' fans. We needed a favour from them in their match at Warrington Rylands. A draw would have all but guaranteed that Reds won the league. All we had to was win at Market Drayton. Bootle did their best for us. At one point they were winning at Rylands. The match finished in a draw. That was what we asked of them.....the rest, as they say....is history.
8 months on, we welcome them to Borough Park, looking to send them packing with 0 points.......it's a strange world sometimes....
Reds are 3rd with 36 points from 18 games
Bootle are 9th with 25 points from 18 games
Reds at home 5-2-2
Bootle away 3-3-2
