Boston United: Club Profile
If relegation from the Football League isn’t bad enough in 2007, Boston United were actually sent down two divisions. After last meeting us during their 2001-2 promotion-winning campaign, the Pilgrims didn’t get a reunion with us; going straight down into Conference North stopping from that happening. We’re not going to get into how the Pilgrims went up from the Conference in dubious circumstances in the first place.

Boston United Travel Information – Distance: 86 miles
By Road
Go north on the A1(M) and A1 up to Peterborough. Come off the A1(M) at Junction 17, which puts you on the Fletton Parkway (A1139). Stay on here for seven miles until you come to a roundabout. Take the third exit to remain on the A1139, then it’s the third exit at the next roundabout for the A47.
In under a mile with a McDonalds and Esso on your left as you come to a roundabout, take the first exit onto Crowland Road. Keep going straight for about four miles in total. You’ll come to another roundabout, at which point take the third exit for the A16. Stay on the A16 for around seven miles.
As the road bends around to the left, turn right onto Mill Drove North. Go up here for two miles, before turning left onto Weston Hills Road (B1165). In under a mile on the outskirts of Spalding, take the third exit at the roundabout to rejoin the A16 north.
Stay on the A16 all the way to Boston now; crossing the River Witham and snaking round to the right and then left. Turn right onto Main Ridge East, then right onto York Street. It’s then another right onto Spayne Road.
