After a rapid rise up into the Football League, it wasn’t too long before Boston United came back down to earth with a bump; relegation in 2007 resulting the Pilgrims being demoted more than one division. After last meeting us during their 2001-2 promotion-winning campaign, we didn’t get a reunion; them going straight down into Conference North stopped from that happening. And we’re not going to get into how the Pilgrims gained promotion from the Conference in the first place amid dubious circumstances.
