We approach the Humber Bridge.
The 1st coach arrives at Appleby Frodingham.
Boro fans enjoy their host's hospitality. 
The players come from the dressing rooms.
Handshakes all round.
Warming up.
It was a hot, sunny day and the 2 free coaches supplied by the Suppoorters club were both fairly full of expectant Boro fans.
Boro fans ready for the game to start.
The setting of the ground was excellent and the facilities also excellent.
The game itself was nothing spectacular, a very poor 1st half was followed by a slightly better 2nd period, once again the officials were atrocious, we had a perfectly good Dave Hartas goal disallowed by an incompetent ref.
'Frod' had a player very harshly sent off, he had an altercation with Mark Griffin and after the 'Frod' player appeared to throw the ball at Griff the ref showed him a red card.
Frod player gets his marching orders.
I was very close to the incident and all that was required was a talk from the ref and a yellow card, even more bizarre was the intervention of the ref after comments were made to one of his assistants, the assistant complained and much to the annoyance of everyone in the ground the ref stopped play and even switched the assistants over, some of these officials are a joke.
Boro surge forward.
Players take advantage of a stoppage to cool down.
Boro did manage to score 2 goals in the 2nd half and take all 3 points but it was a typical end of season encounter hampered even more by the officials.
Boro defend a corner.
Bor fans enjoy the sunshine.
One of the helpers selling food. 'Could we arrange a transfer to Queensgate ?'
The burgers were excellent and the smell of the barbecue was all around the ground, everyone at Frod made us welcome, they are a really friendly club and it would have been a pleasure to be playing them again next season.
