Pilgrims' Fans on the Net

Now's your chance to let the world know you support the best team in Lincolnshire! Many other team pages have a list of their supporters on the Net so let's have a go at our own.

I have now introduced an anti-spam measure. Some nasty people out there have created computer programs that automatically search web pages for e-mail addresses. They use the addresses they find to spew out junk mail. So to disguise your e-mail addresses I have replaced the @ symbol by a # and the . by a +. Because you are all intelligent people, you should be able to get back to the real address fairly easily so you can get in touch with your friends, and it should help to cut down on the spam e-mails you receive.

We are up to 686 fans on-line at present.
How far away is our furthest supporter? (Currently Charlie Blakey in Dunedin, New Zealand - 11,779 miles away)
Will you find that long lost friend?
Will the Lincolnshire Standard write an article about us? (Yes! See page 7 of the 13th November 1997 edition)

The List

Les Aaron (drlesaaron#yahoo+com) How do. My name's Les and I live in the Antartic - does that make me the furthest away Utd fan? (No, it's only 9872 miles to the South Pole from York Street, just head south and keep going! - KF). I'm currently doing research into the melting of the polar ice caps. I don't get to see many matches as you might imagine, but I follow the team from the website. Best of luck to the team and let's hope division 2 welcomes us next year - YELLOWS!!!
Rupert Abbott (winkle_no1#yahoo+com) Greetings to all you Boston Utd fans out there. My name's Rupert, more commonly known as 'Winkle'. I am a 25 year old resident of Boston and spend most of my time (when not watching Boston Utd), pickling eggs and updating my family tree, as well as working part time as a Shaolin monk. My favourite players are Paul Ellender and Daryl Clare. Best of luck to the team for the end of the season and let's hope we can fend off the (Dirty!!) Daggers, to win the Conference league title. P.S. If you are reading this and are the nice girl who works in the refreshment stall in the Finnforest stand, please drop me a line.
Albert Abcock (albert#jinglyjangly+co+uk) Hiya all, Boston United is my life! I have just recently painted my outside lavvy in the Pilrim's colours. My 6 month old daughter is call Claire, my dog Evans and I have a wonderfull collection of hard boiled eggs painted with the faces of the Boston players: Paul Bastock looks the best but Charlery has been scrambled! I go to all the home games and you can see me near the players tunnel each time because everywhere else is too noisey because of all the shouting! COME ON BOSTON!
Paul Adams (pjadams#onenet+au) I live in Perth, Western Australia. In 1967 my parents came to Australia from Boston. My Dad played in goal for United reserves in the 1950s, his name is John Adams. I last saw United play in 1975 when we came for a family holiday, the game was a two all draw against Great Harwood! I still have family in Boston and keep in touch with them.
Edward Addis (edwardinbed#hotmail+com) I am 16 years of age and I like playing football as well as watching it.
Dawn Addison (Paul#PMasterman+fsnet+co+uk) I started watching Boston about 2 years ago, when my boyfriend Paul got me into them. He's got me hooked and I'm nearly as big a fan as him. I go to every home game and a few away games too. My fave player is Mark Rawle.
Rich Addison (steve.addison#btinternet+com) I followed my sister Dawn into supporting The Pilgrims and now I think they are the best. Grantham suck!!
Liam Addlesee (addlesee#madhouse+com) I am 12 years old, although I was born in Luton I have followed the Pilgrims through rain or shine since I was born. My favorite player is Bazza. I am a Townender and on Saturday afternoons my hobby is plastering Boston stickers all over away grounds, and I hate Granfum as much as I luv Boston!
Marc Addlesee (addlesee#madhouse+com) I live in Dunstable, Beds. I am 10 years old. I follow BOSTON all over the country. I play football for Luton Town centre of excellence but one day I hope to play for Boston. When I was 4 years old I was Boston's mascot when they played Macclesfield at home. My gran and grandad live near Boston and my dad was born there and they are United supporters.
Stig Aksnes (joergenvaag#hotmail+com) I am the biggest Pilgrims` Fan up here where the polar bears live. I am freezing my butt up here. I`ll say the Pilgrims will win the Champions Leage in five years. Greetings from Norway. We love you. Keep up the good work.
Jez Albert (flightdeck+fares#going-places+co+uk) Always fond of Boston United since the FA Trophy final of 85 v Wealdstone.
Tim Allen (tim+a+allen#uk+pwcglobal+com) I was extremely lucky in the fact that I was born in Boston 24 years ago. Alas I now live in London but obviously frequently return to Boston to sample the internationally renowned nightlife and to the Mecca of football, York Street to watch the sensational pilgrims. Have seen a few of the matches this season and surely if we continue like this then league football beckons!
Dale Allitt (dale#allitt+freeserve+co+uk) I was born in Boston and although I moved to Nottingham I continued to support the Pilgrims. Since moving back to the area I have tried to get to as many games as possible. After a couple of season finishing second this must be the one where we get promoted don't you all agree?
Alan Anderson (shalan#uk+packardbell+org) I am 32 years old, married with two children. I moved from Scotland to Kirton two years ago after leaving the army. I work for Geest in Spalding. I went to my first Boston match just after Steve took over, and haven't missed a game since then.
Jack Anderson (jon.anderson7869#freeserve+net) I am not even two years old yet but I will soon be at York Street to cheer on the boys. I will be standing with my dad and papa.
Jon Anderson (jon.anderson7065#freeserve+net) I have followed Boston for a few years now, even though I live down south I get to as many home games as possible and stand in the famous TOWNEND with me dad. COME ON UNITED. BOSTON UNITED. BOSTON UNITED.
Scott Ansley (phatuuk#hotmail+com) Hi! I'm a 16 yr old Pilgrims' fan from Rotherham. I have followed them since I was 12 due to my grandad supporting them. I've only ever been to one match though which was against Doncaster Rovers at Doncaster in which boston won.... I hope Boston carry on their success and head into Division 3.
Steve Appleyard (srapple#tiscali+co+uk) I am a 35yr old football fanatic. I am married with 2 children aged 7 & 3. I work in the garage trade in Boston and attend as many home games as I can with my 8 yr old daughter. Hope to see Division 3 football at York Street one day.
Laura Appleyard (srapple#tiscali+co+uk) I really like Daryl Clare and Bazza and wish them luck this season. Hope to see our boss back soon. I am 8 years old and love Boston and Leeds and I hope we stay at York Street and bring back more silverware. I also love S Club and Looking in the Mirror.
Alison Arbon (ali2001vg#hotmail+com) I have been a fan of Boston Utd for about 6 years. Years ago my mum went to see them at Wembley. My mate works in Boston and goes to the matches.
Daniel Ashton (palada#ashlea44+freeserve+co+uk) My dad goes to see the Pilgrims every home game, I'm only 3 so I'm a bit too young to go to a full game, but mum takes me to York Street to see the last 10 minutes of play while we wait for dad. I can understand the game a little, the men in yellow are Boston 'cos dad has told me to shout "come on you yellows" and I'm not sure why the supporters insist on calling the man in black rude names, but mum said that it will all become clearer as I get older, whatever that means! Good luck to Steve and the boys for a memorable first season back in the Conference and hopefully Division 3 in the near future!
Daz Auty (dauty#pcpro-gb+de) I've lived in Boston since I was 12 and have watched and supported Boston Utd since then. I went to school at Kitwood boys and left at 16 to join the army. After training I was posted to Germany and I have been in Menden Dortmund and now Paderborn since 1987. Within that period I've been to Cyprus twice and Northern Ireland once, all 6 month tours. In July I'm due to be posted back to the UK to be a sergeant instructer in Bovington, Dorset. I'm married with 3 kids - 2 girls and boy. My son Jay was born on 01/01/2000 and he will be an avid Boston supporter like myself. When I am on leave I always watch them and take my 5 year old daughter Tara with me. I know Andrew Stanhope very well - it's a Wigtoft thing. Up the Pilgrims.
David Avison (mavison#lineone+net) I'm a Lincoln City And Pilgrims fan From Woodhall Spa.
Neil Avison (boston#ic24+net) I have been a Pilgrims fan for 30 years now, and over the years have seen some good players (and some awful). Steve Evans has got a good squad together so Conference beware.
Adrian Baily (Abaily#aol+com) I was born and raised in Boston, where most of my family still live. I was an avid Pilgrims fan until I left to go to college at Coventry in 1988. I then moved to Bristol (129 miles from York Street as the Martin Hardy clearance flies) where I still live. While temporarily working on a development project in Seattle, Washington USA, I found the site invaluable in keeping up-to-date with United news. I also found an old friend of mine living in Boston, Massachusetts via the site and was able to meet up for lunch.
Leah Bailey (Leah+Bailey#btinternet+com) I have liked Boston properly since Joby joined. Although I have followed the results for a while (along with Grantham and Billinghay Athletic!) I'm 15. I live in Billinghay. Lincoln City are good too.
Matt Bailey (v2k#supanet+com) I am fan of the Pilgrims, and always will be. Come on lads, keep up the good work. We can get to the Football league and teach them how to play proper football. Bring it home Boys! If we move stadium make sure the Town End is rebuilt!
Daz Bain (daz+kate#ic24+net) I have been a Pilgrims supporter for 18 Years - I stood at the Townend when there was only a dozen or so in the early eighties. Memorable games - all leading up to the Wembley final especially Blyth at home, Sheffield Utd and Bury in the Cup.
Mike Bain (mikebain#excite+co+uk) Born in Boston in '43 and educated at Park Rd Sch and the Grammar Sch. A regular Pilgrims home supporter - (even went to White Hart Lane and the Baseball ground for the cup games) before leaving the area in '58. Currently married with grown-up family and in business in Runcorn, Cheshire. Looking forward to seeing United at Chester City next season!
Dave Baines (dwb#dcs+ed+ac+uk) Born and raised in Boston, I was a regular at York Street from the 67/68 to 74/75 seasons. I left to go to University in London and then moved up to Edinburgh (241 miles from York Street) about 14 years ago so I've not seen many games in recent years.
Judie Baines-Dinning (RABBD#aol+com) I have been a Boston Utd fan since I was 11 years old (a long time). I moved away from Boston when I was 17 yrs old but have now moved back to Lincolnshire and live not far away, in Bourne. So I bring my 11 yr old daughter Alys, to the matches whenever I can. Living in a house full of Arsenal fans we put up with a lot of stick but still love The Pilgrims the best.
Jason Bains (jason+bains#virgin+net) I have lived in the area all my life, first at Splisby now Old Leake. Played local and Lincolnshire league football for Spilsby since I left school and have always followed the Pilgrims. This season I have only missed a couple of home games and made the trip to Dagenham the other night. Next season I intend to buy a season ticket even if we are not promoted.
Sue Baker (jackiesue22#netscapeonline+co+uk) When I lived in Boston I used to go to as many matches as possible, now that I am living in London it is obviously more difficult. However I always listen to the results on Saturdays to see how they are doing and I'm looking forward to going to see them when they play teams in our area this season.
Besmir Bala (besmir1#yahoo+com) I'm a 17 year old student and I also support Arsenal.
Simon Balsom (balsom#qualitynet+net) Now living in Kuwait (you may have heard of it), I became a fan in the late 70's in the days of Jim Kabia et al. Didn't we think they'd go up every year!? Best match: when we came back from 0-2 to beat Wigan 4-2. Best moment: when Gerry Stewart (gk) scored from a free kick in our half! I have educated the guys out here, and there is some respect for the Pilgrims around the poolside out in Kuwait! The only match I'll see this season will be on Boxing Day vs. York City. It will be a first football match for my 4 year old son, Oliver, and also for my 72 year old Dad, Jim. What a day it will be! Will I get the Replica Shirts in time?
Louise Barber (barber#newyork97+freeserve+co+uk) I have followed Boston United for some time now, and hope they have every success in the future, hopefully resulting in promotion from the Doc Martens!!
Martyn Barber (GB805830#ntu+ac+uk) I've supported the Pilgrims for about 5 years now. I now go to University in Nottingham but I come back to watch as many matches as possible. Good luck for next season lads!!!

Steven Barker (s+barker-96#student+lut+ac+uk) My family are all from Boston, and I was born there, although I now live in Woodhall Spa (14 miles from York Street) and go to university in Loughborough. I have to admit that my first team is actually Man Utd, though I've been watching Boston since the age of five.
Andy Barlow (andy#boston7+freeserve+co+uk) I first went to York Street when I was eleven and ever since have been a firm supporter. Hopefully I will be part of the BUFC quiz team to be entered in the Boston and District 1999/2000 quiz league so watch this space.
Rob Barnard (brian+barnard#tesco+net) Me and Stephen Wood have been to every home game in the 2001-2002 season. We went to see 5 away games and we are proud to support Boston United as we'd rather be a Pilgrim than an Imp.
Tara Barnett (labarnett#btinternet+com) I have supported Boston for 11 years now and I am the ball girl for them, which I really love doing. I just thought I would say a great bid good luck to Steve Evans and to all the players at Boston United. GOOD LUCK!

Geoffrey Barta (jbarta#holly+colostate+edu) Hello, my name is Geoff and I am from Fort Collins, Colorado USA were I attend Colorado State University. I have been passionate about soccer for as long as I can remember but it was not until World Cup '98 that I discovered the greatness of the English game. I have been following English football ever since and about midway through last season I stumbled upon The Pilgrims over the internet, and was thrilled by their championship season. Now I am hooked on the Pilgrims, and looking forward to seeing them in the Football League!
Cara Barwick (luke+gauntlett#virgin+net) Been a keen fan for three seasons. Being a young lady I enjoy the combination of sport and young men!
Craig Barwick (luke+gauntlett#virgin+net) Started to support the Pilgrims when I played against the U 11 juniors before the 97/98 home game against Lancaster. I now go to as many games as possible.
Paul Bastock (baz#thebastocks+freeserve+co+uk) Yes it's me. Bazza - Boston's number one keeper & fan. Keep up the great support, we all really appreciate you all behind us.
Ian Bates (Ianbates#easicom+com) Supporter of the other great team in gold & black. Moved to Boston in 1991, Townender ever since. Proud sponsor of Steve "GOD" Evans kit for this season.
Chris Battle (chris+18battle#talk21+com) I live in Boston. I know Bazza because I was working with him at one time at a nursing home. And I love Boston United.
Andy Beal (ajbeal#supanet+com) I currently live in Peterborough, but have followed United from around the world. I run my own club now P & T Panthers in the Junior alliance league here in Peterborough so I can't follow Boston as often as I would like. Married with five kids of whom all, apart from the wife support United. Attended Kitwood Boys School between 73 and 78 so anybody who remembers please get in touch.
Kevin Beard (kevbeard#4unet+co+uk) I live in Wainfleet and work for Batemans Brewery. Although I am originally from Liverpool and support Everton I have been to most of Boston United's home games for the last ten years, which nearly makes me a true supporter. Good luck to the Pilgrims in the future!

Craig Bell (cragzybell17#hotmail+com) I love comin' to watch the lads - standing in the town end and singing my heart out with my mates. It's great - especially when we are top of the league!

I, like many other United supporters, think that Steve Evans is GOD! We will win the Conference even if it takes us a couple of seasons.
Jan-Willem Besuijen (w+j+besuijen#kub+nl) Hello Pilgrims' fans! I like little (no offence!) English football clubs, because they play the real football. That's why I visited this great site. Something about myself: I am 21 years old and I support Willem II, the best Dutch league side. I live in Tilburg and I am at Tilburg University to study Arts. I hope it will be a fantastic season for Boston, ze hebben een speciaal plekje in mijn hart (they have a special place in my heart).
Ray and Cheryl Bilbie (raybilbie#hotmail+com) We are from Nottingham and our home side is Forest but we like to watch grass roots football, so on Sat 6th Oct we came to watch the Pilgrims v Scarborough. We were impressed by the facilities at York St, there are worse grounds in the Football League. The fans were great and the team look promising. We went in the supporters' bar and watched the England game on the big screen. The people of Boston made us so welcome that we will be regular visitors to the club in the future. GOOD LUCK BOSTON!
Andy Birkett (stuart#birkettbur+freeserve+co+uk) I'm now a hardy Yorkshire lad, but was born in Boston and lived there for 18 years. I've been following the boys in amber and black for about 5 years now, and I'm convinced 99/2000 is THE season. It's good to get back to Boston and see the Pilgrims play, as I get more than a little tired of hearing about Leeds and Bradford City... it makes a change to see some real quality!
Katherine Birkett (stuart#birkettbur+freeserve+co+uk) Sister of Andy and Philip on this page. I am a fairly new fan of the Pilgrims. I hope one day (soon) to see Boston in the Conference and then after that, who knows? Good luck Boston, this season and forever!
Phil Birkett (stuart#birkettbur+freeserve+co+uk) I've lived in Boston all my life and have been cheering the Pilgrims on since the 96/97 season. Brother of Andy (also listed here), he took me to my first game: the home defeat against Barrow. I've never looked back. To the Conference and beyond!
Martyn Bishop (Martyn.Bishop#btinternet+com) I'm a Bostonian by birth and have supported Utd (on and off) since watching them as a 9 year old with my dad in 1958. I now watch them with my 2 sons (3rd generation supporters!) who are following on in the family tradition.
Nick Bishop (nickbishop#lycos+co+uk) I've supported the Pilgrims since the age of about 9, when my dad took me to York street for the first time. In the 2000/2001 season I attended every home game and a handful of away games. However, this season I've been unable to attend the majority of games due to me being away at uni. Will always follow the Pilgrims and keep sporting the shirt where ever I go. Sing your hearts for the lads!!!
Nathan Black (nab92721#yahoo+com) Hello out there! I was born in Boston and have lived there most of my life. University finally dragged me away, but I have now returned to Boston. I live a street away from the ground and now work for the Boston Standard as a reporter. Up the Pilgrims!
Ady Blackamore (ablackamore#aol+com) I was born in Boston went to Tower Road then Kittwood Boys. I used to go and watch Boston in my teenage years, even sneaked in over the Gliderdrome many times. Then shortly after Wembley stopped going. A few months ago I started to watch THE PILGRIMS again with my 6 year old son Macaulay and I must say I was impressed and carried on going. I was there to see history in the making at Hayes (was you) and enjoyed every minute of it even the rain. What a day out. JUST GOT TO SAY WELL DONE TO THE BOYS AND THE MAIN MAN STEVIE EVANS YOU'VE DONE BOSTON PROUD. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Me and my boy are proud to stand at the town end and sing our hearts out for the lads. You can count on our support. One more thing, see you daggers, you're not even in our league. Cheer up Gary Hill, what can it mean (YOU KNOW THE REST LADS).
Ian Blackamore (KAZZIAN#kbarnett+fsbusiness+co+uk) Boston born and bred, first went with my Dad to York St in the fifties, watched them again in West Midland League, NPL, Alliance etc. Lost faith in the late eighties, with a series of poor managers the club seemed to lack ambition. Returned when I thought, first Mel Sterland then Greg Fee was the man, but now I know, Steve Evans, he's 'The Man'. Happy memory, Portsmouth in the F.A. Cup, despite losing, getting evicted from the ground and having to get back in, a great day, helped "T-Rex" roadies to take gear into Gliderdrome and got free tickets. Now stand with my son behind Skull and Crossbones flag.
Justin Blackamore (KAZZIAN#kbarnett+fsbusiness+co+uk) I am 14 years old and go to the Giles School. I have supported Boston Utd for around 4 years now. I go to all the home games and have watched them away several times. I like to stand in the Town End, usually with my Dad, with my skull and crossbones flag. I hope one day to see the "Pilgrims" in the Football League.
Simon Blackburn (simonjblackburn#another+com) I live in Nottingham and I support Boston United and Nottingham Forest! My favourite player is "Bazza".
Charlie Blakey (alfandcharlie#clear+net+nz) Moved to New Zealand in 1996 and live in Dunedin in the South Island (11779 miles from York Street). Have followed the Pilgrims since I was 10 in the days of Kevin Hector & Co. I might have to lay claim to the remotest fan award. Best moment was Bob Lee's goal against Altrincham which took us to the FA Trophy final in 1985.
Colin Bland (colin#fastlane+screaming+net) I was born in Boston in 1951. I attended Staniland School and Boston Grammar School. I have been a lifelong supporter despite moving away from the area. I fondly remember the FA Cup game against Derby when United drew at the Baseball Ground - shame about the replay!
Adrian Blow (damienblow#aol+com) I have supported Boston through thick an thin since I was six years old. I attend all home matches and think that Steve Evans has turned my club around. I expect to consolidate this season, although League football remains my dream. Come on you Pilgrims!
Chris Bogg (boggyc#uboot+co+uk) I'm 14 years old and I come and watch the home games every Saturday. My favourite player is Ken Charlery.
Mark Bogg (boggyc#uboot+co+uk) I have been watching the Pilgrims for 2 years and I come to watch them on Saturdays when they are playing at home. My favourite player is Jim Dick.
Thomas Bogg (Thomas.Bogg#bostongrammar+lincs+sch+uk) I am 11 years old. I have been coming for three years. My favourite player is Daryl Clare.
Scott Bolton (scott+bolton#bt+com) I was born in Pilgrim Hospital 16th October 1977 and I have been following the Pilgrims ever since, even though I now live in Warrington Cheshire and have done since I was two.
Chris Bond (smoothoperater#aol+co+uk) Hi fellow Bostonians, CJ here and a proud Bostonian. Just wanna say that I have nothing but love and admiration for Stevey Evans and Division 3 awaits us! C'mon u Pilgrims!
Shaun Bond (shaun007#talk21+com) I am 29, single and have been a fan of Boston United F.C. all my life. I live in Winthorpe near Skegness and go to all the games at York street. Up the pilgrims!
Kev Booth (kev#skeg7+freeserve+co+uk) Born in Skegness, support Nottingham Forest as well as The Pilgrims....
Tracy Boulton (10046341#ehche+ac+uk) I have been a Boston supporter since I was four and I have been watching the matches with my dad ever since. I was even the mascot when I was 10! I am now at a university just outside Liverpool and I also support Liverpool F.C.
Lesley Bowen (LABowen#aol+com) Born in Boston in 1961 (nee Carter). I was a regular visitor to York St in the seventies before going to Trent Poly to do my degree. I now live in Ware, Herts (82 miles from York Street) with husband Nigel and daughter Julia and work in Harlow, Essex.
Graham Boyall (graham#dboyall+freeserve+co+uk) I am originally from Spilsby but until recently was living in Chippenham in Wiltshire. I am now living near Newark and so I can get over to Boston much more often. I try and see as amny games as I can and I really enjoy this web-site.
Joe Bradbury (bradbury#hbradbury+freeserve+co+uk) I've seen Boston on both good days and very bad days. I go with my cousin Callum Bates and my grandad (still very young always walking the whole mile to the ground and he sometimes beats me home). Callum plays football sometimes with Andy Stanhope who is related distantly to me. My favourite players are Rawle, Appleby (who I live near) and Joby.
Tim Bradbury (tim_brad#yahoo+com) Currently in Atlanta USA (4172 miles from York Street - Seattle was too far from York Street). Followed last year's Championship run through this page and clippings sent from the Lincolnshire Standard. Evans seems like an ambitious manager who can back up that ambition. Let's hope a long overdue visit to the Football League is around the corner. I drove Nigel Harvey to the away leg of his favourite game in a Capri that was the same colour as this web page. So come on NIG drop me a line. I tried your email but got no response.
Keith Bradshaw (kdb_016#yahoo+com) I was born in Boston and moved away in 75 to join the air force but before then I used to go to see the games with my old man Jack who is still a season ticket holder going to all games. As for me, well claim to fame was being a ball boy when Jim Smith was around and Howard Wilkinson and even now I stun those boring conversations about premier football by telling them of our 6-1 win aginst a 1st div team. I see how they're getting on and in fact my son has been more times than me and he's in Norwich.
Neil Bradshaw (neilbradshaw#student+ccn+ac+uk) I study animal care at the moment. When I visit Boston I always see my grandad he always gives me a chance to go to York Street and my dad asks me if I want to go to Old Trafford to watch UNITED! I really turned them down, that's Man United of course. You know why? Because I'm mad about BOSTON UNITED. Oh and Liverpool. Paul bastock keep those goals out and dont retire, you are the best!
Reg Brain (reginald.brain#virgin+net) Long time follower, home and away, non barracker, I've made many good friends, with the Pilgrims. I'm now 56 years old and I would like to see us return to Wembley, win,... and going back up to the Conference would be the icing on the cake. I live at a village called Wickersley in South Yorks.
Harriet Brewitt (andrew63#lineone+net) I am ten years old. My favourite players are Jamie Cook and Ross Weatherstone and I love coming to see The Pilgrims Home and Away!
Lee Britchford (lbritchford#yahoo+com) I'm a dedicated Boston supporter who only missed two home matches in the 2000/1 season, and I have the full kit. I'm a Townend faithful. I have brown hair, blue eyes and my favourite player is Simon Weatherstone.
Pete Brooksbank (petebrooksbank#hotmail+com) I saw my first Boston game on my 11th birthday. They lost. I also support baseball's Cleveland Indians, meaning sporting heartbreak is certain for the rest of my life.....
Geoff Broomhall (xdjmaster#hotmail+com) I have followed the Pilgrims from afar having lived in Gainsborough for a couple of years. I come from Birmingham. I am a season ticket holder at the Villa but always look out for your result. Congrats on saying in the League. You fans deserve it. All the best for next season.
Matthew Broughton (dawn#broughton+freeserve+co+uk) I am 12 years old and I love the team Boston United. I have just only recently been supporting the Pilgrims but I am trying to attend all the matches I can but I am struggling a bit because I live in Grimsby. We're going into the football league.
Guy Brown (charlie_downunda#hotmail+com) I'm from Melbourne, Australia (10465 miles from York Street) and have only recently begun following Boston due to my good friend 'Cookie' from the Town End. I spent about 5 months living in Sth. Yorks and Lincs 2 years ago and am dying to get back to go to some REAL games of FOOTBALL. Well Cookie, there ya go!!!! I signed on!!!!
Jamie Brown (brownmarvel#aol+com) I have always been a Boston United supporter. I am a season ticket holder and attend away days as much as I can. I live, love, and breath BOSTON UNITED (ask my poor missus). Saturday is UNITED DAY!
Stephen Bryson (stephen.bryson#virgin+net) I moved to Boston in 76 from Newcastle and lived there for about 13 years. The best times I had at York Street were after discovering you could climb over the Gliderdrome roof and get in for nothing !!!!!. Haven't seen them play for quite some time now though, but still get the Standard sent to me so that I can keep up to date on all the news.
David Buck (y2jchrisjrch#netscapeonline+co+uk) I have supported United for about six years. I go to every home game. I have just been to my first away game this season (2000-2001), but I plan to go to every game the Pilgrims play next season. I am 13 years old and I live in Skegness. I think we have a bright future at York Street. We should be playing League football in about two years.
Paul Buffham (paul#buffham34+fsnet+co+uk) Up the mighty PILGRIMS - there is no doubt that we will have six easy points from Lincoln next year!
Matthew Bunn (bunnsp#aol+com) I go to Chesnut Street School in Ruskington. I am 9 years old. I play football for the LFA in Boston. I thought the best match last year was when Boston beat Morecambe in the FA Cup.
Simon Bunting (simon#buno+freeserve+co+uk) Some of you might know me. I'm the Simon that drives the Boston United team coach. Just thought that I would sign on and give my support to the team I've come to support.
Michael Burgess (nicksyl#uk.packardbell.org) I've been a supporter for 15 years and I'm looking forward to Conference football next season. I'm 23 years old and a care worker. I go to all home and some away games.
Murray Burgess (rosiepam#aol+com) My Grandpa's the Chairman and I have been to see United play plenty of times. I have been a mascot as well. I love Boston.
Lee Burman (lee#leedoc+netlineuk+net) I have supported The Pilgrims since the late 1970's and am now the club doctor. Let's all get behind the team and support them back into the Conference.
David Burr (daburr#lineone+net) I've been a United fan for three years (although I used to go to watch them when I was 8 years old as well!) and think that Steve Evans is doing a good job as manager. Can't wait to go to Dagenham on 4th March. Who needs Ken Charlery!
Gaz Burr (gaz#lincolnrule+freeserve+co+uk) I'm a Lincoln fan but was born in Boston, isn't that amazing! I hope Boston do well. Up the Imps. Up the Pilgrims.
David Burt (DBurt76471#aol+com) I'm a typical Boston born fan, I currently live in Boston and like to follow the Pilgrims as much as I can. If anyone wants to get in contact with me to talk "United" then you're more than welcome.
Brian Burton (EFCSOUL#tinyworld+co+uk) As well as following the Pilgrims, I am also a fanatical Evertonian. I usually stand on the Spayne Road stand with drinking partners Big Jim and Ronnie the Jock. Best days - away at Rushden this season and Moseley away many years ago.
Colin Burton (Colin.Burton#Culture+gov+uk) Swineshead exile. A poor civil servant now working for my third Minister for Sport. Oh well I achieved my main objective when I asked Kate Hoey MP to visit York St and she accepted. I accompanied her to our game against Rushden & Diamonds in March 2001. My first game was the 1982 Cup tie with Sheffield United. I then went home and away every week until moving south in 1991. Went to every game on the road to Wembley in 1985 - and there weren't many of us in the fog at Alvechurch in December 1984! Obviously the Unibond limited my appearances somewhat so it's refreshing to be back in the big time and able to go to places like Dagenham after work. I must make reference to Mr Fee at this point who had the team playing marvellous stuff in 1996 but perhaps wasn't given the same backing. Well, I'm the idiot who climbed up each floodlight pylon a few years back to take loads of snaps - some of which appear elsewhere on this site. Favourite players: wingers mainly like Dave Gilbert, Brian Thomson, Stewart Hamill (as that's what I am) and players that interact with fans like John McKenna & Martin Hardy. Good luck to PISA in getting established - it still annoys me at the treatment the club gave the award winning fanzine From Behind Your Fences. Thanks Mr Evans for getting my team & town back making headlines.
Richard Burton (richard@burtons0+freeserve+co+uk) I have lived at Swineshead near Boston all my life. I attend home matches and most away matches. I help with checking the Alphabet Tote on Monday nights and help around the ground during the Summer. I am looking forward to the season when the club fulfills its potential for playing performances but still remains friendly, maybe the Football For Life youth development programme will form the basis.
Chris Burwell (cburwell#netcomuk+co+uk) I live in Sutterton and try to get to as many games as possible. My favourite player is Glen Maddison......Not!
Andy Butler (andylisabutler#townendbarmyarmy+freeserve+co+uk) I have been a Pilgrim for 23 years and long to witness again a team parading a championship trophy around York Street. Hopefully this will be achieved under Steve Evans astute leadership. All we need is for the club to get it right off the pitch and all our dreams will be realised. I attend all home games and away games when possible (most Saturdays).
Daniel Butler (james#jwarsop+freeserve+co+uk) I go and watch Boston every game home and away. Last season I travelled from Poole to Gainsborough on 26th of December 1997. This was a round trip of 564 miles. Is this the furthest anyone has travelled to any game. UP THE PILGRIMS!
Josh Butler (andylisabutler#townendbarmyarmy+freeserve+co+uk) I have been a Boston fan since I was 6 years old (4 years ago) I go to most away games on the BUSA bus. My favourite player is Daryl Clare.
Lee Butler (lee#butler4526+fsnet+co+uk) I have supported United for 25 years. Hopefully the good times are here to stay. I try to get to as many matches as possible, but it can be difficult living in Reading. I get back up home whenever possible.
Lisa Butler (andylisabutler#townendbarmyarmy+freeserve+co+uk) I Have supported Boston since 1983 when I went to my first match. Since 1998 I have been to most home matches and now I run the BUSA buses and travel to all the away matches with my husband Andy.
Estelle Calfe (née Howes) (calfe#calfe+worldonline+co+uk) I was born and brought up in Boston and am now married to a Gooner and live in Barnet, north London. We have a son who supports Boston, Arsenal and Barnet! It was great to be in the away team end at Underhill when we beat Barnet 1-0. We're doing brilliantly this season. Long may it continue!
Stefan Call (MNAFETSC#aol+com) I've been supporting Boston for a season now. I'm one of the few Americans who supports someone besides Manchester United, Arsenal, and/or Liverpool. Don't know why I support United, I just love following the small clubs.
Becky Callaby (donna.callaby1#btinternet+com) I'm ten years old and go to Swineshead St Mary's Primary school. I go to most of the Boston home matches. I go to the matches with my Dad and my thirteen year old brother Danny.
Danny Callaby (donna.callaby1#btinternet+com) I have ginger hair, I am older than twelve but younger than twenty. I am training in three techniques of martial arts and I am a very skilled boxer for my age. I have a human punch bag called Brian, my brother, he is 23 years older than me. I go to Boston Grammar School and I'm in the year above year 7 but below University. I attend almost every home match and a few away matches. I am no good at speeeling.
Simon Callaby (donna.callaby1#btinternet+com) I live in Swineshead and go to as many matches as possible with my two children.
Phil Callow (phil#ark+me+uk) Unfortunately I don't get over as much as I'd like but check progress on the website and try and see a few matches each season. Enjoyed the Macclesfield though! Up the Pilgrims!
Jonathan Calvert (jfcalvert#hotmail+com) I am from Boston but am currently at Loughborough University. I will be watching them next year in the Conference.
Grace Cameron (i.cameron#talk21+com) I was born in the Pilgrim Hospital 9 years ago. I live in Berkshire now, but I have a soft spot for Boston and follow their results.
Stuart Cammack (stuart#cammack4+fsnet+co+uk) Amber and Black runs very deep in my family veins. My 4 year boy is close to being initiated into our wonderful proud tradition of a LIFELONG PILGRIM! Spilsby born and then a 20 year RAF spell I have now settled in Ruskington. What a wonderful time it is as I gleefully clutch my SEASON TICKET anticipating the next game. High points of the season ALL OF IT! STEVE EVANS for MAYOR, PM, CHIEF OF POLICE, KNIGHTHOOD, FREEDOM OF BOSTON\LINCOLN\ etc.
Steve Canham (steve_canham2002#yahoo+co+uk) Born in Boston in 1975, but moved to Fareham, near Portsmouth when just 6 months. Now living in Dudley, Birmingham also following Liverpool FC. Followed the Pilgrims for the past six years and was ecstatic at both the Dr Martens championship and the Conference championship. Having a few friends from Dagenham made the success even sweeter. Good luck for the new season. Well I'll be able to see them play against Kidderminster, any Boston fans out there in the Birmingham area give us a shout, and a lift to Boston games, much appreciated.
Francisco Carlos (fcss#ufrgs.br) I am a fan of English football, especially amateur football, and like this team ..congratulacion..
Hannah Carpenter (jcarpenter#rusko+freeserve+co+uk) Sister and daughter of the rest of the clan but they left me out!
Julie Carpenter (nee Wild) (Jcarpenter#rusko+freeserve+co+uk) I am married to Richard and am mother to Sam, I go to home games with the above. I am from Ingoldmells originally but now live in Ruskington.
Richard Carpenter (rcarpenter#rusko+freeserve+co+uk) Myself and my son live in Ruskington near Sleaford and try to get to as many home games as possible. We are new converts (1998) to York Street and always sit in the Main stand on the half way line with our friends offering vocal constructive advice!!
Darren (Dazjc666#hotmail+com) and Gavin Carrington (GCarri21281#hotmail+com) We live in Boston and have supported the Pilgirms for the whole of our lives.
Stuart `Jock` Carter (stuart.carter#cableinet+co+uk) I have supported the Pilgrims for 17 years. My first match was Crewe in the FA Cup in 83, now living in Dundee watching the other dream team Dundee United. I try to keep up to date with the Pilgrims, but haven't seen them play for 3 years. Keep up the good work. CONFERENCE HERE WE COME...
Anthony Cartwright (hlop7121#northtyneside.org.uk) I am 15 years of age and I am football crazy. I support the lower division clubs but non as big as yours. I play football whenever I have spare time - even on my computer. I created a team called Boston United - it was all official even down to the players and I added myself to the team. I would like to play for the Pilgrims someday.
Ian "Lank" Chaplin (ichaplin#hotmail+com) I am 14 years old and a keen Boston Utd fan. I was at the legendery game against Grantham Town and I was amazed at what I saw! The best is Boston and I am with you all the way.
Lee Chase (LeeChase#iee.org) Boston born and bred but now live in Coventry (73 miles from York Street). A place where people talk funny and can't play football for toffee :-).
Nicky Chester (nicky.chester#ntlworld+co+uk) I am Chez and I support The Pilgrims. All I can say is UP THE PILGRIMS!!! BOSTON ARE THE GREATEST!!!
Stephen Church (stephen-church#beeb+net) I am 28 yrs old, married to Claire and have a son called Thomas. I live in Holbeach but have supported Boston United for the last 13 years.
John B. Clark (jbclark#btinternet+com) I have followed the club since I was taken to a Mather Cup match at Shodfriars Lane, United v Aston Villa. It was in the 1946/7 season and United won 4-2. Freddy Tunstall was the trainer and made a brief appearance in the second half. I believe Jock Bayne was the keeper. I stood with my father and several others on a farm wagon trailer placed behind the goal for the occasion!! I left the area in 1957 but have always looked for the results in the press and the last time I saw them play was in the FA cup v Ilkeston Town when they came to this part of the midlands. I have now retired and live in the Nottingham area. I have spent many happy hours at the Ground in the late 40's and 50's. The most memorable watch was the cup win over Derby County. The return journey on the coach was a very lively affair!! Good luck for the rest of the present season and and who knows I may hear from some contempory supporters?
Christian Clarke (clarkes#cav31+freeserve+co+uk) I'm 13 and I've been coming to see Boston for 11 years now. I sit in the Finnforest stand every week with my dad and we also travel to some of the away matches.
Ian Cliff (ian#prisontown+freeserve+co+uk) I live at Folkingham near Sleaford (22 miles from York Street). I have been an avid follower of the Pilgrims for more than 25 years now. I don't get to so many away games as I did, but hardly miss any home games.
Kerry Coggle (Kerry.Coggle#btinternet+com) I was introduced to BUFC by my brother in September 1993 versus Canvey Island. We lost (thanks to Mr Morris) but my son Tom (former mascot) and I have been avid supporters, home and away ever since. Thanks to Mr Malkinson over the years the club still exists and long may it continue!
Russell Coggle (Kerry.Coggle#btinternet+com) I am an armchair fan of Boston United having been to a lot of games over the last seven years. I'm always looking for the result at 16.45 on a Saturday afternoon. Long live Boston United.
David Cole (davidcole0#talk21+com) My first match was Oct 1966 a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Grantham Town in the FA cup. I was hooked and was back within 2 weeks for the West Midlands league fixture against Port Vale reserves! Great memories of the rise from that league, into the Northern Premier and to the Conference. Back again last season as a season ticket holder travelling from Nottingham with my 3 year old son.
Emma Cole (davidcole0#talk21+com) I am 8 years old and a Boston United fan. My brother and my dad are already on this page. I enjoy watching matches and I want to go again soon.
Matthew Cole (davidcole0#talk21+com) I am 3 years old and went to my first match at Boston United when I was 2. I went to 10 matches last season with my Dad. I wear my United shirt for nursery and know the names of 10 players.
John Conrad (odocon2#aol+com) I am an American and a follower of Boston United and hope they gain promotion to the Football League someday within the next 5 years. I also follow Fisher Athletic and Wealdstone along with Bournemouth and Hereford. Anyone wishing to trade footie stuff from the USA for non-league footie programmes from England please email me now with the team you support.
David Aidan Coogan (davidcoogan#lineone+net) I am a paramedic in Northumberland near Berwick on Tweed (the only English club playing in Scotland). Brought up in Lincs during the 70's. Had a long interest in the fortunes of the "Pilgrims" though lived in Scunny so saw the "Iron" more than any other club. Would like to join a Boston Utd supporters club.
Chris Cook (cookie#ccps+freeserve+co+uk) The legendary forward, assistant manager and youth development officer himself!
Gary Cook (jwarsop#hotmail+com) Unfortunatly I will have to disagree with Tim Allen's comments about Boston nightlife. The Wheatsheaf Hotel in Swineshead is much more relaxed and a regular haunt for the Pilgrims' stars.
Shara Cook (sharacook#lycos+co+uk) I work at Dinky Donuts on the boston market. I love the Weatherstone brothers and Bazza.
Steffen Cook (Cookie.Itchybum#nationwideisp+net) I've been a townender for about 6 years or so. I've missed a couple of seasons due to being in exile (in Germany) for reasons far too boring to go into. I try to attend all home matches and as many away games as possible. I once even stayed sober at an away tie! (Burton 1-1 earlier this season). I receive a lot of tongue-in-cheek abuse at my flat cap, but it's all in good fun. Long live the town end. Up the punks!
Tom Luke Cook (tomlukecook#yahoo+co+uk) I am also a Stereophonics fan. My favourite cartoon is South Park.
Lance Cooper (coops#jazzline+net.au) Born in Boston 1938, went to St Botolph`s School then BGS. Left to join R.A.F. in 1953 now reside in Perth, Western Australia (8991 miles from York Street). Follow Boston United in the International Express.
Paddy Cork (paddy#chalkisgoodforyou+co+uk) I am 46 on Monday 6th May. I go to the games regulary with my best friends, Big John, Martin and Tufts. I always take my chalk with me to chew on. At half time we meet up with John Dawes and solve some difficult equations.
Paddy Corke (corkey#talk21+co+uk) I go to the Pilgrims matches with Martin Wright and John Neal. We are the geezers at the Spain Lane. I look like Mr Bean and my favourite pastime is sailing with my best friend Peter Dorr. Peter is known as caveman by the Spain Laners because of his beard. With even more legs here this season we should have a good chance.
Derek Corton (corton#brinsley48+freeserve+co+uk) I am a Lincolnshire lad who now lives in Nottinghamshire. I follow Forest but my first team is the Pilgrims. My uncle took me to my first game against Lancaster City in about 71-72. My earliest match which I remember was against Portsmouth in the FA Cup - which Pompey won 1-0. I have followed Forest to Munich and Madrid but my favorite match was when me and a few others went to follow Boston at Derby in the FA Cup, how Alan Tewley's goal bound effort just stuck in the mud on the line still p$%%�" me off.... Seeing the Pilgrims at Wembley was great to see, pity about the result. I still look for their results every week and hopefully a place in the football league is just around the corner. Conde, Svarc, Smith, White, Adamson, Kabia, Howells, Simpson, Bates the list of greats is endless.
Matt Cottingham (matthew.cottingham#bbc+co+uk) Journalist for the Beeb living and working in London. But I was born in Boston 23 years ago and still look out for the results of the Pilgrims.
Darren Cox (darrenmcox#btinternet+com) Born in Kirton in 1968, now living in Manchester. I have always followed the fortunes of Boston Utd and wish them the best of luck for the rest of the season. It would be great to see them get promoted this year.
Paul Cox (paul.cox#coflex+co+uk) I was first introduced to the delights of football in Boston by Richard Smith, inspired creator of the brilliant fanzine, `From Behind Your Fences'. I used to work with Richard more than 12 years ago, when FBYF seemed to have a greater circulation than Reader's Digest. After reading a few issues, and having changed my pants more than once, it wasn't hard to see why. Realising we shared at least the same sense of humour, not to mention the same taste in underwear, Richard lost no time in asking me to contribute to the next one by `fleshing out' his eponimous anti-hero, Farmer Dan. Yes, I shall be going to `The Match' on the 10th and, along with Richard and a few other committed individuals, will be selling the long-awaited Issue 14 of FBYF. Now bigger, better and, at £1, half the price and twice as funny as Viz. All female groupies gratefully received...
Andy Creasey (Motley40#x-stream+co+uk) I have supported the Pilgrims for several years, and attend every home game and the odd away game. I feel that this season (1999/2000) has been the best I have seen. Well done to the lads, and keep the success flowing.
Chris Creek (chrisdcdxb#yahoo+co+uk) I have been watching the Pilgrims since the early 70's with either my Dad, Uncle or Grandad Charlie. The two games that stick out in my memory are an away game at Kettering in the early 80's, with Kevin Hector running rings around the opposition and the F.A Trophy game against Blyth Spartans, winning 5-4 after being 1-3 down early in the second half. Both games true classics! I now live and work in Dubai and get to games when I'm home on holiday.
Aaron Creighton (munch#hotmail+com) I first started supporting Boston United in the season we got relegated from the Conference. I then didn't miss a game for five years. Then I decided to join the army therefore missing this year's championship (doh). Still attend every so often when on leave but tend to go to more away games than home.
David Cropley (Stuart#SCropley+Prestel+co+uk) I am 15 years old and have supported Bosotn since I was 8. I go to every game and always will, as I am one of Boston's biggest fans. Some day I also hope that I will be watching Boston in the Premier League where they belong!
Keith Cross (crossy97#yahoo+com) Hi, my name is Keith Cross. I am a Pilgrims' fan. I live at Wrangle (10 miles from York Street).
Nick Cumberworth (ncumberworth#hotmail+com) Boston United supporter since very early age when my Dad started taking me to games. Now live near Melbourne in Victoria, Australia, and speak to Dad on a weekly basis to get the latest update on Boston's progress. Trying to understand Aussie rules football, but it's not the same as the world game!
Kevin Curtis (kjbc#kjbc+worldonline+co+uk) Life-long Pilgrims' fan. Sold programmes from 76-79. Now eat prawn sandwiches in the Stantons Stand thanks to winning 2 season tickets with MATCH magazine.
Mike Cutchie (cutchiemw#clear+net+nz) Now living in Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand, I class myself as someone with fond memories of Boston Utd, which originate from a dull November Wednesday in 1954 at Croft Park, Blyth, (K.O. 2.00pm no lights! Att: 10,000, plus school truants such as myself) when in an F.A. Cup replay, my team - The Spartans, losing 4-2 just after half time, clinched it with three mist shrouded goals in the last ten minutes (the balding G.Gair a hat-trick). One apparently well founded story, is that during the first game at Boston, the Blyth centre forward Charlie Weather(Dinner)spoon was injured running back onto the field after half time, when he fell down a manhole. He took no further part in the game, but the 10 Spartans earned that epic replay. I look to my newly found Bostonian links for confirmation or contradiction.
Benjamin Damm (bennydamm#gmx+de) I am 21 years old and I am from Germany. I have supported The Pilgrims since 1987. Nice greetings to all Boston United supporters! Now you know that the Pilgrims have a fan in Germany.
Adie Daubney (adie#the-daubneys+freeserve+co+uk) Born in Boston over 35 years ago and have supported the Pilgrims since first going with my grandad over 30 years ago. Go to all home matches and several away games each season with my two sons Joseph and James. I've good memories of Boston United games like sneaking away from school to watch them play Derby County at home in the FA Cup or the day trip to Wembley for the Trophy final on the bus from the Ropers Arms Pub. Boston's best ever player has still got to be Jim Kabia. I look forward to many more years with my two boys watching good local football.
James Daubney (James#the-daubneys+freeserve+co+uk) I'm 5 years old and I like Boston United. I have been a mascot in the past. My next day as mascot is on my 6th birthday V Leigh RMI. I go to Tower Road school and I'm a season ticket holder for Boston. I play tennis once a week and play football with my brother in our garden. My favorite player is Paul Bastock.
Joseph Daubney (joseph#the-daubneys+freeserve+co+uk) I am 7 years old and go to Tower Road school. I am a season ticket holder at Boston United. My favorite players are Jamie Cook and Daryl Clare. I hope Boston United win the Conference. I like Liverpool as well as Boston. I go to tennis twice a week and football training too. I play football in my garden and would like to play for Boston one day.
Mathew Daurge (Daurgey88#Hotmail+com) I would rather be a Pilgrim than an Imp. I go to see all home games with Stevie Wood and a dedicated fan Joseph Rossington.
Laura Davenport (lauradavenport#hotmail+com) I like Boston United and Newcastle United.
Steven Davey (steven#sdavey3+freeserve+co+uk) Born in Boston in 1947 I attended Tower Rd and Boston Grammar Schools. I have been living in Norfolk since 1972 but still get over as often as I can to support the best non-league team in the country. Division 3 fixtures for 2001/02 please Mr Evans! We can do it.
Colin Davy (colin+davy#virgin+net) I now live in Merseyside. They are all very depressed at present but the Doctor Martens League is unknown around here.
Jack Davy (jack#jackdavy+freeserve+co+uk) I am ten years old and have been supporting United since I was eight and I have been the mascot.
Jon Davy (dj2xtreme2002#aol+com) I live just outside Alford and I'm a big supporter of Boston Utd. I don't get to many games but wish I could. The Mighty Pilgrims are the Pride of Lincolnshire and everyone should be a fan. The Pilgrims will get promotion and will be champions of division 3 next season.
Andrew Dawes (andrewdawes#hot-toast+com) Lived in Boston from 82-88 where I went to B.G.S. I was known as Andrew Waters and nicknamed Andre. Boston never lost whenever I sat in the top left green seat in the main stand (I sat there about 30 times!). Thank god we're back in the Conference and hopefully we'll never have to visit those dreadful places like Alfreton and Frickley again!
John Dawes (JD#brests+com) Hi, I'm John and I go to Boston Grammar School. I watch the Pilgrims with my maths teacher Steve Woodliffe and his crew (Martin, John, Patrick and Peter). We love BUFC like I do Euler's equation - a beautiful relationship between e, π, i and -1. My favourite pastimes are solving BUFC's chances of promotion by doing them mathematically. COME ON YOU YELLAS!!!
Andy Dawson (dawsy#genie+co+uk) I'm 15 years old and live in Skegness. Me and my mates Karl and Tett come to every home game and stand in Spayne Road or the Town End. My favourite players are Mark Rawle and Andy Stanhope. The best Pilgrims game I have been to is the last home game of last season, the Town End was packed and the atmosphere was electric. Let's get to Division 3. COME ON!
Neil Dawson (neild#pavilion+net) Living in Brighton, but born and bred in Boston, still following on the radio and tv and will get to more games this season when the Pilgrims hit the South.
William Dawson (terence+dawson#ntlworld+com) Born in Boston but living in Belfast. Still have relatives in Leverton. Dad's name is Terry and mum's name Amelia. Used to live in Tooley Lane, Wrangle with my twin brother Brian and elder brother Peter before moving to N.Ireland. We all look for the Boston United result every weekend. Wish Utd all the best for the future.
Joe Deamer (tommydeam#talk21+com) My Favourite players are Bazza and Rawle. Up the Pilgrims for the Conference. Me, Paddy, John and Martin will be there next season!
Tom Deamer (tommydeam#talk21+com) We all know tufty is a die hard fan, but me and John Neal like to party down Spain Lane, and Paddy Corke comes along with the beany man styleeeee. Up the Boston and the K.T.C.
Sam Deamer (tommyd#albanyhouse+com) I love BUFC. I support Man Utd I play for Wyberton Colts. I was mascot on New Years day.
Ian Denby (ian+denby#btopenworld+com) Born in Cleethorpes, lived in Grantham until one year old (luckily). Grew up in Boston, watched the Pilgrims as a lad, remember Casey, Cook, Devan White etc, infamously tried to climb over roof once due to lack of admission fee but failed. Best memories, Trophy semi final v Altrincham, cup tie v Blyth Spartans (5-4) & clinching promotion by beating Grantham.
Ger Devlin (craftycorky#hotmail+com) Not an avid football fan but have heard a lot about you guys. So would like to wish you all the best of success for the future. GOOD LUCK.
John Dewars (robert+dewars#btinternet+com) I have supported BUFC for the last three years hardly missing a home game. Away games are a problem as I work Saturday mornings, but I do go when I can. I have been a season ticket holder for the last two years. I live in Kirton and work in Boston.
Martin Dickman (martin+dickman#virgin+net) I lived in Boston for the first twenty years of my life, I then moved away some 10 years ago and I now live in Oxford. Although, my first team is Notts County, I have supported Boston since I was about 5 years old. I still try and get to see the Pilgrims when I come to see my parents, who still live in Manor Gdns. Let's see Boston back in the Conference and beyond! P.S. I miss Batemans Beer!
Jim Dickson (jim#wyberton20+fsnet+co+uk) I am 27 years old and have lived in Boston all my life. I have supported United through good and bad times since 1985 and this year is going to be the greatest. Promotion to the Conference a certainty.
Chloe Dix (Scegg+Dix#btinternet+com) I'm 14. I've supported Boston since I was very small. I swim for Boston Swimming Club. I never miss a home match (unless I'm swimming) and try to get to as many away games as possible.
Ben Dolby (Ben+Dolby#gartree+sch+lincs+uk) I've supported Boston most of my life as I was born in Boston. I go with my mates Stephen Wood, Robert McCusker, Joe Rossington, Troy Golding, Chris Wainwright and our most dedicated fan Adam Goy. Adam has also been a mascot for the Pilgims 4 times.
Brian Donkin (donkinbrian#hotmail+com) I am a lifelong supporter of Boston United - the pride of Lincolnshire. My favourite players are Bastock, Elding, Ellender and Daryl Clare. Steve Evans is a great manager and Boston are definately going up this season.
Chris Donkin (donkin+itex#btopenworld+com). I moved to Boston from Edinburgh in October 1991 and although I am first and foremost a Hearts supporters I have become hooked on the York Street experience. I have seen most home games played in the last 12 seasons and my favourite player is the one and only "Baldy" Bastock.
Peter Dorr (Beardy#talk21+com) I've been a Pilgrim for 12 years now, usually in the Spayne Road stand with Tufty, Big John and Paddy Corke (Mr. Bean). I love my sailing weekends away with Paddy, They're such FUN! Next year we need more legs on show to boost our challenge. Big up BUFC and Tommy Deamer.
Craig Dowse (b+dowse#virgin+net) I live 4 miles away from York Street and go to see almost all home games, and a few away. I am 14 years old and go to Kirton Middlecott Secondary School. Here's hoping for a good 1998/99 season!
Colin Draper (colin#sheffield+telinco+co+uk) Me (age 47) and my football mad son Sam (age 11) would just like to say CONGRATULATIONS and hope to catch your games next year at Lincoln, York, Scunthorpe, Hull and any other grounds within a 2 hour drive from Sheffield. And of course the odd visit to Boston. Football as it should be (i.e. a good day out, a laugh, frustration sometimes but no hard feelings, good mates, people who understand the game) is now found in the 2nd and 3rd and the Conference... and even in the Welsh League!
Keith Drewitt (drewitt31#london+com) Hi, I am a great fan of your Team. I have supported Boston for the last season and this season. I can't get to Boston as much as I like because I am only 15.
Thomas Duck (Ruddyduck#btinternet+com) I will be going to as many of Boston's games as I can next season. I hope that Boston United do well.
Simon Duff (sidtysam#aol+com) Hi. I'm a 12 year old Aries who enjoys football and hockey. I am a lifetime fan of the Pilgrims.
Nick Dunmore (knicki#ntlworld+com) Bostonian born and bred. Been supporting the Pilgrims from a very early age, even going to Wembley once. I'm now in the Army and don't get home as often as I would like. Last match I saw was the Grantham clincher last season, what a day !!!!
Laurent Duval (rageagainsttheinternet#hotmail+com) Even though I do not live in Boston anyone from Lincolnshire can see they are the pride of Lincolnshire. So I choose to support the mighty Pilgrims. I do not get to many games as I live outside the county. EVANS BARMY ARMY.
Neil Eardley (Neil#neardley+freeserve+co+uk) Born in Boston in 1953. Been supporting the Pilgrims since the Midland League days. Worked in Saudi Arabia, Southport, California USA, and currently Doncaster. I have always managed to find Boston United results! LET'S ALL GET BEHIND THEM IN 2000.
Paul Edenbrow (liy6ep1#lin3+smf+nottingham+ac+uk) Hello. I have lived in Boston all my life and now am a student at Nottingham. My first real memory of the Pilgrims was their superb 3-2 extra-time victory in the semi-final of the FA Trophy, and of course the final itself. David 'Diddie' Gilbert was the best player I have seen in the 'famous' Amber and Black, followed closely by Winston Campbell (joke). You can hear me on URN, 97.5FM in the Nottingham area.
Lee Edge (top_edge1#hotmail+com) I don't actually support Boston but I live in London with two Boston boys. All I hear from the Legendry Tim Allen and the 'Boy' Richard Knight is stories of a day out at York Street followed by a night out in some of the country's finest nightspots. What I wouldn't give to pay a visit to the Town Pump. Good luck to the Pilgrims and I can't wait to make my Boston 'debut' at York street and the Pump.
Byron Edwards (byron1989#eddie83+freeserve+co+uk) I am a 12 year old pupil of the Spalding Grammar School, and I've got one big problem - everyone takes the mickey cus I'm a Pilgrims fan. But as many people will agree these are the sad glory hunters who follow the top divisions instead of the great local teams. My favourite player is Daryl clare and you can always find me, my dad and my two uncles in Spayne Road, cus we're Spayne Road til we die!
June Egan (jgegan#talk21+com) I am a receptionist at the Port of Boston. I attend all the home matches I can along with a few away games. I often bring along my grandchildren to games. I am keeping everything crossed that we go up to the Conference as we deserve.
Kate Eglinton (eggwhyte#yahoo+com) Started supporting the Pilgrims at the start of last season and I now never miss a home game. Although not entirely happy about Paul Raynor's addition to the team to begin with, I am now entirely converted. I love his committment and aggressive style of play.
Brendan Epton (bepton2001#yahoo+co+uk) I like playing football and I just love watching Boston home and away.
Steve Evans (sjevans#sarah-jane+freeserve+co+uk) Manager of Boston United F.C. Please see details as supplied on the squad page but I thought it appropriate to join up as I am a "Pilgrims Supporter".
David Everitt (david#everitt71+freeserve+co+uk) I have just worked out that the 2000/01 season will be my twenty-first season of watching BUFC. Watch out Football League here we come! (passing Lincoln City on the way!)
Jon Everitt (pasty362#hotmail+com) When I started working in East Yorks, I thought that I'd be able to get back to see more games - weekend working is a terrible thing!
Pat Everitt (pateveritt#blueyonder+co+uk) I was born, brought up, schooled etc in Boston. I currently live in Shoeburyness. Unfortunately my Saturday afternoons are currently occupied as I am still fit enough (my wife says daft enough) to be playing Rugby Union. Match attendances have dropped since I moved from Nottingham, but I try to get to as many as possible. Regards to anyone out there who knows or remembers me.... drop me a E-Mail.
Ian Evison (Ianev#aol+com) I live in Spilsby, 16 miles down the A16. I was a very keen supporter during the early 90's but getting a girlfriend (now wife) put an end to that! Falling from the Conference didn't help matters, neither has the commitment shown by the Football Club in returning to the promised land. I still manage a few games a year and to cheer all you guys and gals up I currently manage BUFC on Championship Manager taking them to 6th position in the third division last season only to fail in the playoffs. Half way through this season I am 14th but 12 points from the top 7. Noel Whelan and Jason Lee are my front men with Mark Kinsella and Stan Lazaridis in midfield, maybe at York Street proper one day !?
Jeremy Eyeons (beveye#breathemail+net) Last season was brilliant for me, it brought back sweet memories from my youth when we won the NPL on several occasions. I recognise several names in the supporters list from my days at Boston Grammar School. I still live in Boston. UP THE PILGRIMS!
Chris Fairbrother (chris#cfair+freeserve+co+uk) Introduced to the delights of Northern Premier and the Doc Martens by my son-in-law from Wyberton. Looking forward to attending as many games as I can in the coming season.
Shane Farllow (shanef2k#hotmail+com) Hi all Pilgrim fans. I'm from Tazmania, the small island off Australia (10783 miles from York Street) and I keep up-to-date with happenings in Boston from my sister Cath Singleton who lives on Margret Drive. Keep up the good form Pilgrims!
Adam Farnsworth (ex8013#qmw+ac+uk) I'm a 19 year old Pilgrim who is at present a student at Queen Mary and Westfield college in east London, who lives north west of London near Watford.
Mervyn Farnsworth (ex8013#qmw+ac+uk) Father of Adam, I was born and raised in Alford even though I live near Watford I try and see as many matches as I can and look foward to the days when we move back into League football.
Andi Farrow (andi17#ic24+net) I spent the first 12 years of my life living in Boston, Dad changed jobs and I'm now living in Nottingham. Any one fancy keeping in touch and letting me know how the Pilgrims are doing?
Jason Feary (jason+feary#oracle+com) I live in Bracknell at the moment but I travel to see my beloved Pilgrims at every oppertunity. I used to enjoy going with my old pal Noddy Fishwick, but unfortunatly we drifted apart. Now my favourite day is relaxing a nice curry house with the fond memories of a Pilgrims home win. I spend most of my time being the butt of colleagues jokes. I love chutney on kormas hence my nickname "Chutney". We are planning a trip to Kingstonian and hope to see you all there. Up the Pilgrims.
Bruce Featherstone (bruce_featherstone#bc+sympatico+ca) I supported United in the late sixties and early seventies when I went to B.G.S. Afternoon at "the game" and evening at the Gliderdrome. Great place and great times! Good luck in the future.
Matthew Featherstone (mat#featherstone+aol+com) I go to St Bedes school and I support Liverpool as well as Boston.
John Fenton (John#fentstep+freeserve+co+uk) I have supported the Pilgrims for about 30 years and normally get to about a dozen games a season but the change of leagues has made a right pigs ear of things this year! I come from Blackburn and I'm the one with the enormous flag.
Terry Finisterre (finisterrete#candw+lc) I'm from St. Lucia, same as Ken Charlery, and I'm a journalist as well as a footie fan. I'm hoping the Pilgrims will get out of the Conference this year, and the way my boy Ken Charlery is going, they just might!
Gavin Finnegan (gavinfinnegan#hotmail+com) Now in my second year supporting the Pilgrims and have enjoyed every second of it. Hopefully during the season I will be able to cross the Irish sea and see the mighty Boston triumph again.
Noddy Fishwick (noddyfishwick#yahoo+com) I work as a fishmonger in Lincoln. I love standing on the Town End when I have the time. In my spare time I enjoy watching wildlife and I am a member of the WWF. I think that Mr Evans can only take the Pilgrims forward although I was upset that Ken Monkou never joined the Boston revolution.
Katy Fixter (katy#kfixter+freeserve+co+uk) I am 23 and first went to a match at age 3 months (Dad brought me in a pram to see Boston United Reserves so I don't think I ever had any choice in the matter of being a Pilgrim). Until going away to Uni I went to practically every home match (and am probably one of only a few fans to have been to almost every away match when we were in the Unibond League, missing only midweek matches). These days at York Street I can mostly be found down Spayne Road or in the Announcers Box with my dad, who is the one who has to play that terrible after - goal music!
Sally Fixter (S+Fixter#uea+ac+uk) I am currently a student at the University of East Anglia (no I don't know you Mark Judd!). I have attended nearly every United match since the age of three, when my Dad took me to a match. I feel I must mention his name (Mick Fixter), as he is a veritable fountain of useless information about the Pilgrims dating back to 1955. Sorry Dad!
Jenny Flint (ntybe062#sonm+nottingham+ac+uk) I am a student nurse in Boston. I have followed the Pilgrims for over 10 years now and my only wish is to see them back in the Conference. My fondest memory of United is when they were in the FA Cup and we lost to Chester City. Although the result did not go our way it was one of the best team performances I have seen.
Jackie Forman (jackiesue22#netscapeonline+co+uk) I am from Boston originally, I used to play for Boston Ladies in the 70s, and I used to sell programmes when Jim Smith was manager, I now live in Kent.
Chris Foster (bfchrisfoster#bun+com) Born in Boston, 1971, left 1973 to become a Yorkshireman in Barnsley. Watched BFC as a fanatical supporter since the age of 7 but rekindled my interest in the Pilgrims after chatting with Phil Birkett (top bloke) who keeps me informed of their progress. I'm hoping to get in contact with anyone of the same age and also re-establish links with Phil Birkett. Good to see the Pilgrims doing well although I have to admit I am Barnsley through and through - Football league next season - Oakwell 3 years after that?
Richard Foster (richard+sexyman#btopenworld+com) I am from Boston but have recently moved to Derbyshire but it doesn't stop me coming on the site and finding out all the results. GO BOSTON!
Dennis Fox (dfox#netrover+com) I was born in Boston in 1947. I have been an avid Pilgrims supporter as a result of my late father's unconditional support and regular attendance at all home games for 40 years. I have relocated many times and currently living in Ottawa, Canada (3290 miles from York Street). Until recently when I hooked up to the internet, I had my mother send me all newspaper clippings from the Lincolnshire Standard and The Target. What a pleasure to find the Pilgrim's home page. I travel back to Boston once a year to visit my mother and of course to attend Boston's games. The deciding factor of when I return is often the fixture list. I have sponsored a match ball for two seasons in my daughter's name in support of the club. Good Luck to the Pilgrims in future seasons.
Ken Fox (ken#kafox+freeserve+co+uk) The producer of these pages. I was born in Boston but my family moved to Maidstone in Kent when I was three. I got hooked on United after watching them play in the early seventies when I was back in Boston visiting relatives during the school holidays. I now live in Leeds but work as a principal transport modeller for Transport for London in their office in Endeavour Square in London. I try to get to all the games within easy reach of Leeds as well as three or four games a season back in Boston.
Marc Fox (students#stbedes+lincs+sch+uk) I like pigs and mountain biking. I have supported Boston United and Manchester United for 11 years.
Derek Fuller (julia+derek#cwcom+net) I went to BGS and started following United when I was in the sixth form. I have now been in Manchester for 20 years and look forward to seeing more games this season. The days in the NPL were great for me, but my watching the lads play was restricted when they were in the DM league. Let's hope they do well this coming season and destroy the likes of Kettering etc.
BJ Furnell (bj_furnell#yahoo+com) I live five miles from Boston and have been a supporter for ten years.
Gaz Furnell (gfurnell#yahoo+com) I've been a loyal supporter of Boston United for 11 years. I live in Langrick with my family who are all keen Boston supporters.
Julian Furnell (chellefurnell#bun+com) I have supported Boston United for about seven years and I would like to thank my brother Gary for getting me to go to watch them all those years ago. So I would just tell anyone never mind Liverpool or Arsenal, we have a great club here in Boston.
Karen Furnell (kazza_49#hotmail+com) I've lived near Boston for the last 14 years having moved from Ipswich. I'm not what you would call a mad football fan but I take a big interest in BUFC mainly because my family are Boston United mad.
Stefan Furnell (swfurnell#hotmail+com) I am 9 years old and I love to watch Boston United. I like the Townend and will till I die. I live in Langrick nr Boston and will be a lifetime fan. Are there any unnattached 9 or 10 year old girls out there who'd like to go out with me?
Colly Gallagher (collyg22#hotmail+com) I am messaging you from Maghera, Northern Ireland. I have always followed the Pilgrims results ever since I had my Uncle George Dawson and Auntie Kath living there before they both died. My brother has set up his home there so I go back and forward. I first was in Boston 30 years ago and I remember going to the swimming pool there passing the ground and just getting a real thrill seeing it. So good luck again. George would be ever so proud of Boston getting into the League as he was a referee. He lived in Saint Peter's Lane beside what was formerly known as Faulkners Bakery.
Jonathan Gander (pom_gander#hotmail+com) Originally from Long Sutton in Lincs, now studying at Coventry University. Don't get many chances to watch the Pilgrims in action, but I follow them on the internet. Who knows, if we continue rising, and the Sky Blues keep falling, they'll be in the same division soon!
Kyle Gardner (kyle#mgardner48+fsnet+co+uk) I like watching Boston play at home when I can. My favourite player is Bazza and I will be supporting him and his team in the Vauxhall Conference next season.
Damien Garford (damegarf#hotmail+com) Pilgrim follower and a Notts County fan, now exiled in Oxfordshire-home of none-too-good footy clubs. I first started watching the Pilgrims during the Eighties, yet since I moved away from Boston I haved watched more games. When I go to York Street I am usually found in the Town End with Ben and Matthew Grant whistling or singing the Laurel and Hardy theme.
Jason Garford (jfgarford#zoom+co+uk) Entering my last of four years at uni in Greenwich studying sports science. I have been a Pilgrims' fan for as long as I can remeber. I saw my first ever footy match at York Street when Boston were battling for a place in the then fourth division. It has been a pleasure to follow them over the years but has recently become brilliant with their current position at the top of the Conference. A fantastic achievment in the short space of time, re-kinderling memories of old. This time let's get it right and a get a place in the third. (I'll be able to watch them easily then if they play Oxford where I have been living for the last six years).
Dicky Garrard (dickiethegolfer#hotmail+com) Lifetime Pilgrims' fan and always will be.
Luke Gauntlett (luke+gauntlett#virgin+net) I am a six year old boy from Butterwick. I was Boston's mascot against Atherstone 99/00 and my favorite player is Mickey Nuttell.
Paul Gauntlett (luke+gauntlett#virgin+net) A recent convert who gets to all the home games, a few away games and some reserve games.
Natalie Gerrans (nataliejayne87#hotmail+com) I am a big fan of Boston United and also am friends with Mickey Brown and Mark Angel. I live in Spalding and I go on this website every day. I wish them the very best in every game.
Henry Gibbons (henrygibbns#aol+com) I am 12 years old and love and support Boston as much as possible.
Ben Gilbert (benjigilbert#yahoo+co+uk) I support the Pilgrims (cos they're my local team!) and have done for six years since I started going to all the home games with my uncle who got me into them. I can't get to many home games anymore as I now live in London, but can make it to some away games (Stevenage, Barnet!) but I still go to home games when I visit my parents. Division 3 next season? Oh yes!! GO YELLOWS!!!
Anthony Gilby (ant#chezgilby+screaming+net) I'm a 13 year old football fanatic living near Spalding. I also support Leeds United and Peterborough. I played for Warboys Colts (Cambs) last season, and am looking for a team near Whittlesey for this season.
Mark Gilby (Mark#chezgilby+screaming+net) I'm Anthony's dad and I'm a lot older than 13! I've suppored Leeds for over 30 years now, but have followed the Pilgrims since moving to Spalding 7 years ago.
James Gleeson (james.gleeson#duflex+com) I lived in Boston until 1996 and am now based in Derby. I am a lifelong Derby County fan but like to see the Pilgrims doing well. Perhaps I'll get a season ticket when I move back to Boston eventually.
Tim Goodliff (npatchett#npatchett+screaming+net) I live in Boston about 2 mins walk from the ground! I attend St Bedes School and have been to every home game so far this season and a couple of away games as well. Let's hope the Pilgrims can keep up the good form!!!
Verity Goodliff (timothygoodliff#fsmailtv+com) I live two minutes from the ground and attend whenever possible. I am in favour of Boston moving ground even though I live so close. It would be good to have a BRAND SPANKING new ground and I also believe Steve Evans is one of the best managers the country and possibly better than Alex Ferguson at motivating the team. Well done Steve and keep up the good work. UP THE PILGRIMS.
Ady Gosling (ady#goslng38+screaming+net) I'm 28 and live in Boston. I'm a season ticket holder and it's great to see the improvements of the last two years. It's amazing that we have got games against Man Utd and Liverpool. Hope we can clinch promotion this season.
George Gosling (george+gosling1#btopenworld+com) I am ten years old. My favourite players are: Jamie Cook, Mark Angel, Ross Weatherstone, Simon Weatherstone and Jamie Gould.
Daniel Gould (marcus_goon#hotmail+com) I am Daniel Gould. My bother James plays for Boston and I live in Rushden. My favourite player is Daryl Clare and not James.
Shawn Graham (wheatlrc#yahoo+co+uk) I have supported Boston for a year now and have just been to my first away game (Scarborough 16th April 2001). They are cool.
Ben Grant (sweetexorcist#aol+com) I'm a 21 year old BUFC fan living in exile in Leeds. I've never seen a Boston team win anything, but that will soon change. I can be spotted wandering round Leeds proudly wearing an orange shirt. Am I the only one?
Lee Graves (peberdy#aol+com) Yet another GRANTHAM hater!
Alan Gray (alangray_uk_1999#yahoo+co+uk) Not a million miles from Boston but light years away in the football I get to see locally, Aylesbury United. First Pilgrims game: Morecambe in NPL 1973, supported ever since.
Alessandra & Nicoletta Gray (alan+r+gray#btopenworld+com) I, Alessandra am 4 years old and my sister Nicoletta is two years old. We love United because our daddy does. When we are old enough (15 years) will United have a ladies team we can play for and wear the illustrious Black and Amber shirts? Our mummy Mariannina thinks that daddy is bonkers for driving a 250 mile round trip to most home games. Mummy supports her home town team of Napoli in the Italian Serie B, we think that the Pilgrims would stuff them if they ever met. Thanks to daddy helping us to type this.
Kelvin Russell Gray (crockgray1#hotmail+com) My first game at York Street was in 69/70 and I have been hooked ever since.
Samantha Gray (sam#grays+freeserve+co+uk) I was born in Boston, but have lived majority of my life in Gainsborough, but because Dad is a lifelong Pilgrim fan, I have always gone along to the matches and became a supporter myself! Even though I currently live in Gainsborough I manage to get to all home games and a few away. Although this may prove a bit difficult later this season when I move over to the US!
Andy Green (green-kominato#pop06+odn+ne+jp) I'm a Boston supporter living and working here in Japan. Although I come from Warwickshire, my cousins and family live in Boston (Ian Reilly) if anyone knows him. I hope and pray that we make it this year. Good luck to you all and please give a cheer from me. If anyone wishes to contact me please do.
Billy Green (students#stbedes+lincs+sch+uk) I am 13 years old and have supported Boston for the last 3 years.
Garry Green (garry+green#capgemini+co+uk) I live in Rushden (54 miles from York Street), Northants. Originally from Spilsby, I watched Boston since I was 10 (1970 - Bobby Svarc was my hero). I got to see 7 matches last season which is about the norm although I always intend to get to more. Roll on Conference football.
Kayleigh Green (paul+sasha#tinyworld+co+uk) I live in Boston about 2 minutes walk from York Street. I play football myself for Holbeach Girls. I've had trials for England u16's and have been chosen for a 2 hour tranning session with Micheal Owen. I go to watch all of the matches. My 5 best players are Tim Wooding, Paul Fewings, Andy Stanhope, Lee Power and Mark Rawle. I have two nicknames Kazza or Jaffa. Good look to Boston Utd in the Nationwide Conference 2000/1.
Kirk Green (june+green#virgin+net) I have lived in Boston all my life and so has all of my family going back to the 14th century. I go to Boston Grammar School and support the "Pilgrims". They are the best!
Paul Green (paulgreens+mail#btinternet+com) I have followed the Pilgrims since the mid 60's but remember the 70's with pride. During '73 season I think I saw the best squad we've ever had. Over the years some great players come to mind - Malcolm White, John Lakin, Jimmy Raynor, Jimmy Fell, Bobby Svarc, Bobby Brown, Gerry Stewart, and GOD himself... John Moyes. Just want to send the present squad all the best for the coming '02-'03 season.
Russ Green (greeno69#email+com) I started supporting the Pilgrims in 1978. I don't get to as many games as I would like to as I am also a season ticket holder at QPR (and I live in Watford!). I always look for the results on SKY SPORTS every Saturday, whether I'm at work or not. Up the Pilgrims (hopefully into the Nationwide League).
Anthony Greenman (tonyiow#btinternet+com) Born in Boston in 1963 and currently living in Ryde, Isle of Wight. I would love to hear from any other Island people who support Boston. My brother-in-law, Simon Callaby who lives at Swineshead watches them most home games. Lucky sod! At least I got to watch them on Sky today. Good Luck in your quest for promotion.
Paula Griffin (paula.griffin#priory.lincs.sch.uk) I enjoy watching football and I go to all of the home matches and I enjoy supporting the Pilgrims. I am 16 years old and I will be starting at Boston College soon.
David Griffiths (davidgriffiths#utvinternet+com) I had the privilege of watching the PILGRIMS from 1973 to 1991, when I moved to Belfast from Skegness. I still follow the results each week and ring the club call from time to time. Still love the Pilgrims and follow the recent success with pride. Fantasic to see them top of the Conference in early September, hope to still be there in May. Love to hear from any of the fans I used to know. Now support Glentoran, had a wonderful European trip to Denmark in August in UEFA cup.
Kieran Griffiths (timshorts#hotmail+com) I am ten years old. I once sponsored Steve Stoutt's shorts. My best moment as a Boston fan was being taken onto the pitch by Paul Bastock when I was a toddler at Telford. I like QPR, Willem II Tilburg and Borussia Dortmund, but I like my Boston home shirt best.
Tim Griffiths (timshorts#hotmail+com) Stuck in Sussex. Hampered by children. Tortured by the memory of Peter Morris. (Not so) Closet Merthyr Tydfil fan as well. Hates Forest Green Rovers. Threatened during the inspired 4-2 victory with sending off by the referee at Dagenham & Redbridge.
Ivan Griggs (igriggs#iee+org+uk) I was born in Boston, but live in Nottingham. I remember the FA Cup matches against Derby County, Jim Smith and Howard Wilkinson. I try to follow BU as much as possible (this does not include attending as many matches as I want to) by relying on the TV or internet. Keep the Glory Days rolling - FA cup success next!
Steve Grist (seiflow#surflink+co+uk) I don't know about being the furthest away from the York Street ground but we think that we may be the nearest, living just round the corner in Manor Gardens in clear view of the floodlights and within reach of a Paul Bastock goal kick. I started supporting at the age of 9 just after the 1966 World Cup, having the privilege of supporting The Pilgrims through the glory years of Jim Smith and Howard Wilkinson and the disappointment of non election to the league in the late 70s. Now 30 years later I can't decide whether it's just insanity that keeps me going week after week or the fact that I can keep an eye on my bathroom window from the Spayne Road terracing. In recent seasons my son Matthew now aged 11 has become a keen United supporter acting as mascot on two occasions and has helped to keep his father's language in check in these most trying of times in the Unibond Premier League. Surely we will soon return to our rightful place in the top flight of non-league football.
Richard Grooby (richard+grooby#zoom+co+uk) I try to see as many games as I can. I am hoping to get a season ticket this year for next season. When we go up to division three!
Sophie Grooby (chubbles44#hotmail+com) Evans' Barmy army! Division 3 here we come!
Stuart and Christine Grooby (Us2Groobs#altavista+com) I live in San Jose, California (5289 miles from the mecca of non-league football). I work for Marcus & Millichap, one of the largest commercial real estate companies in the US. Until recently I lived in Lincoln and regularly supported the Pilgrims as that was my home town. The highlight being the FA Trophy final appearance in 1985. Just like another fan on this page, I've also got my American wife interested in the Pilgrims, she even has a BUFC shirt.
Harry Gurton (harry.gurton#virgin+net) I've been a supporter of the Pilgrims for about five years. COME ON U PILGRIMS.
Simon Guy (simonguy1#lycos+co+uk) Currently living in Buckinghamshire, my connection with Boston is on my Mother's side, she was born in New Bolingbroke and my Grandfather still lives in Mareham le Fen.
James Hackett (ahackett#tinyworld+co+uk) I was born in Boston and left in 1966, my family still live there. I live in Melton Mowbray and still visit Boston at every month.
John Hague (john#hopeowl+freeserve+co+uk) Born in Hoyland nr. Sheffield in 1964. I've been a Wednesdayite for 30 years this season, but this season has been the final straw as far as being ripped off watching Premiership football is concerned. My first match at York St. was 18/9/99 FA. cup match against Oldbury. I enjoyed my day so much, it was just like football used to be, good freindly atmosphere and lovely pie and peas. I'm born again into non-league football, I only hope after seeing so many second half chances go begging I've not swappped one frustration for another. Up the Pilgrims.
John Hale (john.thebastard#virgin+net) I was born and raised in Rotherham, and, for my sins, the "Millers" remain closest to my heart. However, after much provocation and threats of violence from Chris Donkin (also listed in these pages), I went to see the "Pilgrims" a few seasons ago, and they have taken a prominent place in my affections. I believe the Pilgrims belong in the Conference, and look forward to celebrating their promotion with Chris Donkin, Kevin Riches, Nick Harwood, Barry Peck, Jim Morrison, Kevin Oliver and Keith Harrison very soon.
Christopher Hall (cmhall#talk21+com) I am 17 years old and I have gone to all Boston's home gomes but one this season.
Ian Hall (garibaldi#woden+com) I was born in Boston in 1961 & lived in Holbeach until I was 18. I currently live in Dudley in the West Midlands, but have always followed the Pilgrims' results. It's great to see Mark Angel is still playing, as I remember watching him have some great games for WBA. Boston gaining promotion would be a dream come true :-)
Lloyd Hall (lloydhall66#hotmail+com) I'm 22 years old and live in Redditch near birmingham. I enjoy coming to watch the Pilgrims when I can as my cousin plays for the team.
Pete Hall (hallpeter#yahoo+co+uk) I have been a supporter since the late '80s, and I come from Woodhall Spa, though I am currently doing Maths at Warwick University. I am probably too old now to ever be a match mascot, but I would like to play live at the social club one day.
Adam Hallgarth (DDAM+Hallgarth#currantbun+com) I am 13 years old and I like to go and watch the Pilgrims as much as I can. I recently went to see them in pre-season freindlies and I think that they have a good chance of making the Conference next season.
Caroline Hamerton-Stove (caroline.hamerton-stove#eraa.org) I think Jim Rodwell is so delicious that I am now a recent convert but hugely committed fan of the Pilgrims!
Paul Hancock (paul#hancock.yahoo+co+uk) I'm 12 and I support Coventry City as well as the Pilgrims.
Paul Hardstaff (phardsta#uk+packardbell+org) I have been a Pilgrims fan all my life. I work away and am unable to get to matches. My dad and stepmum went to most of last season's home games. I hold the United board and chairman in high regard because when I was serving in the Gulf most of the lads wrote off to their teams and received photocopied pictures and maybe a badge. Pat Malky and John Blackwell sent me over lots of stuff, a home shirt plus programmes from every game up until I returned home. That's what I call a team and that's why we have great support.
Martin Harries (malcolm#malcolmharries+freeserve+co+uk) Born 1973 in Boston, left with parents 4 years later, when we moved to Faringdon, Oxfordshire. We have always looked for Boston's results and watch the team when they are playing near our area (Gloucester, Bath).
Steve Harries (harries#perth+geco-prakla+slb+com) I lived in Boston from '70-'78 attending Woad Farm and BGS before leaving for Hull University. I regularly attended matches at York Street in the days of Jim Smith, Howard Wilkinson, John Froggatt, Billy Howells et al. Now living and working in Perth, Western Australia (8991 miles from York Street) but still follow the Pilgrims on the net.
Eric Hartley (eric+hartley#talk21+com) I have lived in Boston since 1975 and supported the team as often as work permits. The manager has assembled a very strong squad who can play some good football when they put their minds to it. There will be some cracking games at York Street and I intend to be there, all the best.
Karl Hartley (Bambi) (bamblesuk#yahoo+co+uk) I am 17 and I have been a big Boston fan for years, and have been coming with me mate Andy almost every week. Let's get to Division 3. Come on boys.
Dave Harvey (daveh#emirates+net+ae) Do I qualify as the furthest away supporter? I work in Dubai UAE (3412 miles from York Street), as a teacher. I was born and raised in Boston, and watched them throughout my teen years before leaving to go to university. I am the club's +1 internet supporter as I am rarely in the UK never mind Boston, and when I am it is usually during the cricket season!
Nigel Harvey (nharvey#portables2+ngfl+gov+uk) I live in Wisbech and I am a 33 year old headteacher at a local primary school. I see almost every Saturday home game and around ten away games during the season. I am pleased to hear there are some new directors, maybe they will be joined by new strikers (let's hope so !) Favourite game: semi-final of the FA trophy v Altrincham home and away. Favourite players over the last few years are Phil Brown, Steve Appleby (for his huge effort) and going back quite a few years Dave Adamson and Steve Thompson. Favourite players are currently Steve Charles, Steve Appleby and Joby Gowshall and Baza! I would be interested in hearing from other fans.
Paul Harvey (paul#peninsulaevents+com+au) Supported Boston all my life but I know live in Melbourne, Australia where I have my own Sports & Entertainment Promotions Company. I used to be a goalkeeper for Wyberton Colts, Melton Town, Grantham, Stamford in my youth. My cousin is David Harvey in Dubai - I am the No.1 Internet user of the site. Hopefully coming back for a holiday to the UK to see this historic year in Division Three.
Paul R Harvey (prrv25250#merseymail+com) I am an old Bostonian living and working in Liverpool.
Nick Harwood (ntybe062#sonm+nottingham+ac+uk) I am a student in Boston originally from Skegness. I have watched Boston for 5-6 years now and followed them all my life. I would like to say I was disgusted with the chants to get rid of the directors and the rest of the board at the game against Accrington, but I would love to see us in the Conference again.
James Hawkes (bhdmrjjr#currantbun+co+uk) I live in Wyberton near Steve Appleby and I have played football with him. I play for Wyberton Colts and I go to the Grammar school. I go to see Boston whenever I can.
Sam Hazzard (sam#neogensoftware+co+uk) Born in Grimsby, moved to Boston in 1984, joined the Army and moved away to Germany but still like to keep up and go to home games whenever I'm back.
John Hewitt (hewitepi#hotmail+com) I now live in Cyprus, after 30 years living in the Boston/Spalding area. During my time there I was the postmaster at Gosberton Risegate for 5 years and was the Landlord of the Wheatsheaf Hotel Swineshead and also worked for Hargrave Int. I used to go to as many Pilgrims games as I could and even after living in Cyprus for 11 years I still check the results every week to see how they are doing.
Adrian Hill (andy+hill#bushinternet+com) I live in Frampton and have been a Pilgrims fan for ten years now. They are the best.
Simon Hill (editor#mcz+com) Born near London, but lived in Old Leake as a teenager, I have been living in California for the past 15# years, but thanks to the web I can still follow the Pilgrim's :)
Gary Hinson (daugey#hotmail+com) I watch the Pilgrims every week. My fav player is Bazza.
Neil Hinton (neilhinton#hotmail+com) I'm a student currently on a six month exchange program teaching in Auckland, New Zealand (11287 miles from York Street). I lived in Boston for 7 years until I was 15 when my parents moved because of a job change. Haven't been to a match for quite a while unfortunately but did used to stand on the legendary Town End. Hopefully we'll be seeing Nationwide League football come August 2001!
Adam Hobart (adam#barmy-army+co+uk) I'm 16 years old, I've been supporting United for nine seasons now, and I'd just like to say that even though Stanhope is useless at badminton, he is a great midfielder!
Lee Holland (holland_lee#hotmail+com) Me and my boys have been going to Boston every week for about two years, with my main men Bob Harness, Tom Deamer, Ben Parker and Bill Murray. We all stand in the Town End and chant abuse at away fans!
Matt Holland (chunk+holland#talk21+com) I have been a fan as long as I remember, and intend to stay one.
Ray Holland (chunk+holland#talk21+com) This is the best season since the great days of the Jim Smith era.
Dominic Holliday (S-d+m+holliday#tees+ac+uk) I've lived in Boston for five years now. I go to all the home games when I'm back from University and some away ones whenever the chance arises.
Jim Hollinsworth (jhollinsworth153#aol+com) Over recent years I have visited my nephew Ross Frisby (until recently lectuerer at Boston College) who has been living in that great town! Enjoyed the company and the night life especially "Bentleys". Made plenty of pals and made guest appearances for the college staff football team. Visited York street of course and now there is a fan base in Glasgow. My mates and myself watched with delight the promotion of Boston and are now looking forward to a few trips to the north of England especially Carlisle to follow the "Pilgrims". So look out at the northern matches next season for your own Glasgow supporters branch. Good luck next season!
Colum Holtam (me92ch#surrey+ac+uk) I used to support Forest when they were in the Premier, but then they were relegated, so I started supporting Lincoln. Then they were relegated back to the Third, and I saw that Boston were winning, so daddy got me a ticket for the last game. I love that Jonny Gowshall. Boston til I die! Up the pilchards!
Robin Hooton (r+r+a+hooton#ncl+ac+uk) A United regular for the past 4 seasons. My first game was the Canvey Island defeat. I'm currently in my second year at Newcastle University (152 miles from York Street) studying Surveying and Mapping Science. I go to all the home games when I'm back in my home town of Skegness and I also go to important cup games whether home or away. I travel to Blyth - the nearest club to Newcastle - whenever Boston play there.
Paul Horner (pauldhorner#telco4u+net) I am 33 years old and have been a Pilgrims supporter since 1987.
Steve "Bozz" Horry (steve#horry+nildram+org) Lifelong Pilgrims' fan. I hope we get promoted this year, so that next season we can take six points off Lincoln City.
Mark Horton (ESHorton#aol+com) I am a huge Boston United fan. I go as often as I can to the home games. I like watching and playing football. In fact I like most sport and enjoy both playing and watching.
Tom Hotchin (10046353#mail+ehche+ac+uk) I am at Edge Hill College with the afore-mentioned Tracy Boulton, who is my girlfriend unfortunately. I am from Scunthorpe but my Dad was from Louth and he remembers going to Boston Gliderdrome. Good luck for the season, as I know that with your ground that you should be at least in the Conference. Just one more thing, I remember my Dad talking about a Boston manager called Smith being very good a few years ago!
Gary Houghton (gary+d+houghton#bankamerica+com) A Pilgrims' fan ever since my dad carried me in at 2 years old - which makes nearly 40 years an avid supporter. Don't get to enough home games (7 or 8 per season) since I moved to Croydon 6 years ago. But do get to most away matches in the south. Favourite all time players, Bobby Svarc, Gary Jones, John McKenna. Any lost friends, esp from Newcastle Uni, please contact me. Anyone in the London area want to arrange travel to games? - please get in touch.
Jamie Houghton (jazzomatic3#hotmail+com) I am 14 at the moment. Been a Boston supporter all my life. Hope to get a season ticket this year but they're selling up like wild fire. I went to the Hayes match. It was great. Got loads of autographs. Also went to the Championship celebration. I got on TV and in the Target. Let's hope Boston get to the Second Division and maybe higher.
Barra Houldershaw (barra777#erols+com) In the military serving in the US for over two years.
Jason "Woody" Housley (woody10#tinyworld+co+uk) I'm originally from Boston, but now live in Watford. I used to sell programmes at York Street as well as being a ball boy. I'm now 30 and moved away from Boston when I joined the RAF 14 years ago. I see the Pilgrims when I can. The last game I saw was at St Albans, very unlucky but a good turn out from the Boston Boys.
Paul Howard (funnyfella#tomgreen+com) Well officially I am a Bolton fan, I live in Merseyside. I started off by doing my GCSE Information Technology coursework on Boston United, and at the time it was the beginning of the season and promotion wasn't expected. As the season got on, I grew to get more and more interested, and now I own a home and away shirt which I purchased when down in Lincolnshire and next season I am looking forward to coming down to see matches when Bolton are not playing. All the best for next season, maybe you want to loan David Norris off us for the year?
Delboy Howes (delhowes#yahoo+com) Me? a 1970s Wyberton West Hospital job, me... , Grammar Puff, University, etc etc... Been away, come back, been away, come back, etc etc... Got my braces stuck in Boston's front door, try and escape, keep twanging back. Currently about to leave flatlands for Birmingham... New teaching type job... But will keep eye on Pilgrims' progress... Yeah.
Daniel Howseman (diamond2#aol+co+uk) I am 12 and I luv Boston. Bazza kicks ass!
Jane Hoyes (ugottasmile#hotmail+com) After beating Lincoln and getting three points from Scunthope we are the Pride of BOSTONSHIRE.
Andy Hubbert (jackash7#tiscali+com) I've been a fan for most of my adult life. Two sons, one never missed a home game since age of three. Sadly the other hates football.
Paul Hubbert (paulhubbert#pcsj-groby+freeserve+co+uk) I moved from Boston in 1986 after a short spell in Lincoln moved to just outside Leicester where I remain. "The Sporting Capital of the East Midlands". I too remember watching the infamous lump of mud at the Baseball Ground stopping a momentous victory. I also remember the day off school at BGS watching the replay (6-1). If Joe Kent reads this email me, Steve Goodacre now lives just outside Newcastle, I have his address. Since leaving Boston I must admit I am a Rugby convert having Leicester Tigers on your doorstep is a bit of a must! I have seen United a few times and I still get a regular blow by blow account from my Dad who still goes regularly. Best of luck in the Conference, at the time of writing this 10th Sepember 2000 you are the strongest team! Unfortunately for the wrong reasons.
Rick Hull (clairerick#manorgardens+freeserve+co+uk) I have been a supporter of the best side in Lincolnshire for over 25 years.
Cas Hulsbosch (cas_hulsbosch#postmark+net) I am a 19 year old dutch guy currently living in South Africa. Of course I never heard anything about Boston Utd here in Joburg but now that they are in the Conference I see them in the newspapers regularly. Go Boston!
Andy Hunt (andyandvichunt#hotmail+com+au) I have been a Pilgrims supporter for many years, but two years ago me and my wife Vicki moved to Australia. Not knowing about the web page I lost contact with the team, apart from the odd chat on the phone to my brother who kept me informed, but now I can check up on the Pilgrims on the net and watch video clips, it's just fantastic. Anyway, come on you yellows and I hope to be back in the ground next season.
Farne Hunt (farne#froggy+com+au) Born and bred in Boston (Wheeler Close) I was supporter thru the 50s 60s & 70s before moving to Auckland, New Zealand in 75 then on to Brisbane in 87 - A long way (10,192 miles) from the last game I saw at Shoddys - the Derby replay - what a disappointment after the Baseball Ground game. I still have the Standard reports on the Tottenham game! Football here follows Rugby League, Union & Cricket, so it's nice when Boston gets a run in the Cup and I see their name there in the Courier Mail (the Local Rag).
Ian Hunt (ianmenzies#tiscalli+co+uk) Fan of BUFC for the past 40yrs, often on the patter and chatter, season ticket holder, hate imps, and DAGENHAM and REDBRIDGE.
Jake Hunt (jcthuk#yahoo+co+uk) I started watching the Pilgrims when I was 5 now I'm 13 and I go to every home game and most away. My favourite player is Bazza.
Jeremy Hunt (jeremyhunt2#virgin+net) Born in Boston in 1970 and an avid follower home and often away until I moved to London in 1988. I still watch United whenever possible but this is mainly when they play in the South (some memorable games at Welling and Fisher spring to mind). Determined to see far more games this season (work & wife permitting) and with a bit of luck Division 3 football very soon! Likes: Lottery wins, days off and Trigger happy t.v. Dislikes: Lincoln City, Kettering Town, Barnet etc.
Neil Hutchinson (nhutchinson#bateman+co+uk) I live in Skegness and I have been a Boston Utd fan since 1985. Working at Batemans I find out a lot about the team and club through work. I also support Spurs but being so far away from London, Boston Utd became my local team. I began watching Boston when George Kerr was in charge (those were the days). My claim to fame is the design of the Batemans Adverts in Matchday Programmes. Good luck for the rest of the season & seasons to come.
Richard Hutson (g+j+hutson#btopenworld+com) I am 13 years old, live in Boston and have been to see every home match this season (I am not a season ticket holder).
Mark Isaac (rooster#isaac200089+freeserve+co+uk) Lapsed United fan from the early 70s when the NPL was dominated by the Pilgrims. Born again in the rain at Hayes when the club achieved a memorable and long overdue promotion to the Football League. What a fantastic set of fans both home and away especially for a smallish market town such as Boston. Would be good to top 5000 attendance on a regular basis at York Street. Let's get more fans in with some clever and innovative marketing please! Highlight to 02/03 season: several spring to mind but last minute winner at home to Scunthorpe was very enjoyable as was away win at Cambridge. Goosebump moment: hanging on to 3-3 draw to Wrexham (without doubt the best side in the 3rd division); and Bazza blatantly (?) handling the ball outside the area. Goal of the season: Neil Redfearn's 25 yard free kick at Leyton Orient. Four points head start this season. Let's get stuck in chaps!
Daryl Jackson (rainbowclub#talk21+com) Hi it's Daryl. I'm a true fan and like to stand in the main stand with my mum. My dad comes along too but he's too busy working at Boston Sausage. I haven't got a Boston shirt yet, but I do have a 1983 Matlock Town kit!
Grant Jackson (jacksonfamily#tesco+net) Me, Ashley Goddard and sometimes my girlfriend Nikkita, stand in the Spayne Lane. Me, Ashley, Paddy, John, Martin and Peter are known as the six true heroes of Spayne Lane and we all go every match. Up the Pilgrims.
Lee Jackson (lee+jackson+89#deacons+cambs+sch+uk) Born and bred in Boston (Carver Road). Father and sister still live in Boston (Browns Road). I am now living in Peterborough (29 miles from York Street) but still keeping an avid eye on the Pilgrims! I always look forward to coming home and visiting York Street once again! You never know, in a few years, Boston might be playing the Posh in a LEAGUE match!!!!
Ian James (ian#olga+org+uk) I have supported B.U.F.C. since birth and I've been to every home game for 12 seasons.
Kelly Jarman (kelly_and_carly#hotmail+com) I went to see Boston play Man U under 19's and since then I've come to love Boston. Come on Pilgrims!
Jaz (Johanino#yahoo+co+uk) Okay...a certain young man not far from York St has a lot to answer for! Went to my first match about a decade ago with Dad as a challenge! Hated it (but lasted the match) and vowed not to go again. Now I'm courting a young man... and he's into the Pilgrims like a mouse is into cheese, so when I have the dosh I catch the train from Cambridge and come up! The atmosphere is great and I went to a few of the games at the end of last season. Currently I'm trying to crochet myself a scarf for next season... but then I'm trying to lots of things so it maybe the year 3000 before this scarf is actually finished! That's all folks! (PS. Don't come to Cambridge in the Summer - it's chocca with tourists! Best bet is either March or Sept! and the best SKIPS are in GYWDIR ST/ST BARNABAS RD for those of you that like something for nothing!)
Wayne Jennings (wjennings100#yahoo+co+uk) I live in Cork City in the South of Ireland. This is only my second season supporting Boston. Best of Luck and I hope you survive your first season in the League.
Paul Jones (pauljones#totalise+co+uk) I have lived in Lincolnshire (Great Steeping) for years. Boston United are my closest team and I am loyal to them!
Mark Judd (M+A+Judd#uea+ac+uk) Hello. Isn't it annoying when they don't put the Boston result on the vidiprinter on Final Score. I am currently at the University of East Anglia (60 miles from York Street), so it is the only way that I can find the result without buying a paper (until I found this site). Hello to anyone who knows me.
Kazza (kazzaroo#tiny+com) In my younger days (Before Children) I used to help out at York St on match days. Unfortunatly I now follow the Pilgrims via the local radio coverage. Nice one Steve and the boys. All the best for the Conference next season.
Guy Keeley (gskeeley#gis+net) Although orginally from L'pool (and a Red through and through), I lived at various RAF bases around Boston throughout the 70's and 80's. My brother got me going to watch the Pilgrims and I took him to see the Barracudas (in the summer). I always look out for the Pilgrims score every weekend - thank you www. One day we hope to see them grace the Football League. I now live and work in Boston, MA, USA (3240 miles from York Street) - coincidence eh? We have a nice piece of the Stump over here in a local church!
Martin Kelly (mkkkkk78#hotmail+com) I'm 22, male and Irish. I have been supporting Boston Utd for three years.
Simon Kenneally (s+kenneally#uea+ac+uk) Boston fan since my first game (home to Accrington Stanley in the Northern Premier League. Now in Norwich.... ciao.
Joe Kent (joe#kentfamily34+freeserve+com) I grew up in Boston watching the Pilgrims in the 70's and early 80's attending lots of away matches too. Moved away in the 80's and have lived in Leeds since 1985 (my second team, come on you whites). Any old friends from the Grammar School out there want to get in touch? Steve Goodacre where are you now?
Eddie Killick (ekillick#LineOne+net) Although living in exile in the North-West for the past 30 years, I have supported the Pilgrims for nearly 50 years. Since they joined the Dr. Martens League, I don't see them so often now, unless I make a rare trip to Boston. Saw them beat Derby 6-1 and lose to Spurs 4-0 in that memorable season!!!! Let`s hope they get back into the Conference this year. Good luck lads.
Stephen Killick (s+killick#ntlworld+com) I am a 35 year old Boston United supporter from Lincoln. Being in a wheelchair, I sit in the main stand at games as it has the best view and I'm impressed at how much wheelchair space there is. I enjoy watching the games with my wife and my favourite matches that I've been to are - Sheffield United in the FA Cup, Altrincham in the FA Trophy Semi-Final and Grantham at home last season.
Daniel King (Whyismark#hotmail+com) COME ON YOU PILGRIMS! Hey y'all, respect to the Town End posse and all the Pilgrim supporters wherever you are in the world. Originally from Hertfordshire I fell in love with the Pilgrims in 1993 when I came to Boston to do my nurse training. First game was a qualifying round of the FA Cup, 2-1 up and Bazza got sent off, we went on to lose 3-2 against Canvey Island. I live in Suffolk now, soon in the States, but I'll always think of you lads. STEVE EVANS' BARMY ARMY RULE!
Simon Kirk (simon#phycomp+freeserve+co+uk) Born in Boston in '69, moved away early in life but came back in my teens. I try to get to as many games as possible when I come back home. It's great to see a site for the PILGRIMS !!!!
Stephen Kirk-Smith (stevotheox#hotmail+com) Have lived in Boston all my life and have supported the Pilgrims through thick and thin. From the FA Trophy in 85 to the present day. I am currently doing medicine in London with ambitions to help on that side in the future at the club. Bring on the full-time team!!
Ivar Klausen (ivar+klausen#rb+no) I'm a Norwegian journalist. With two friends of mine I went on an English football crusade three years ago. We also spent a night in Boston. A nice town - and as such it deserves a good football team. From Norway we'll be cheering Boston United into the pro-league this spring. Go!
Geoff Knight (geoff#knighttwitcher+fsnet+co+uk) I have been watching the Pilgrims since I was 7 years old therefore I am in my 26th year of support. I go to some away matches and think when things go right we do have the best FANS, but when we under perform it's not so good and the fickle fans start staying away. My favourite players are Peter Costello for his 100% commitment and Ross Weatherstone - another who gives his all.
Richard Knight (richardalanknight#hotmail+com) Boston lad since moved to work in South London. Only get to home games when I'm back to see the folks but get down to most of the Southern away games, Woking, Farnboro, Stevenage etc. Favourite moment at a match, Ward scoring against Barnet in the 3-3 FAT tie in the last minute in 87 and the 4-1 stuffing of Grantham to win the DML.
Rob Knight (rknight#claremontandmay+com) Ex-Bostonian, Giles old-school boy in Old Leake, Boston College. Last seen as a regular at York Street in 83/4.
Pete Kulczycki (DRY5PSK#Leeds+ac+uk) I can but apologize as I am a converted Altrincham fan. Up the Pilgrims!
Scott Kyle (smk2982#aol+com) I've been going to United for 8 years now and I love it. I also support Man United and being from Leicester I like to see them doing well.
Matthew Ladds (peteladds#curridge+freeserve+co+uk) Son of a life long Boston supporter which has been passed down to me.
Pete Ladds (peteladds#curridge+freeserve+co+uk) Left Boston in 1975 but remain a United fan.
Alan Lambert (dj_foo#hotmail+com) I am 21 years old, male and Irish. I have been supporting Boston for two months (introduced to Boston Utd by Martin Kelly...).
Ryan Lane (b4lane#lgscc+sch+leics+uk) I am 15 and a devoted supporter of the greatest team.
Richard Leachman (RichardLeachman#compuserve+com) Born in Kirton, I attended Kirton Primary, Boston Grammar School and the College. I can't remember when I first went to York Street, but I must have been to most home games between the late 60's and early 80's, when I first moved away. I now live down south, converting people to BUFC on the way, but have managed to buy a place in Long Sutton now, and get 'home' when I can. However, it's not always easy to get weekends off when you're a Baptist minister. I guess that makes me a real Pilgrim!
Alan Lee (alan+v+lee#bt+com) I have supported the Pilgrims for many years.
David Lee Chi Kin (cklee16#yahoo+com+hk) I am known as XXL16. The reason I have this nickname is because my shirt size is XXL and 16 is my lucky number. I was born in Hong Kong and I weigh 250lbs (17st 12lb), but I have played amateur football as a defender, especially as a sweeper. I am one of the newest Boston United fans and my favorite player, I also sponsor his kit, is Daryl Sutch. I respect his 16 years loyalty to his former club Norwich City and also his verstaility - he is one of the few players in the world who has played from goalkeeper to striker (not in the reserve but first team matches)! I will visit York Street on the coming October, see you guys soon!
Daniel Leece (dml1ugs#mail+bolton+ac+uk) I come from Horwich (113 miles from York Street), which is near Bolton where the new Reebok stadium is being built. There are several of my friends over here who are followers of the Pilgrims. I have only managed to get to York Street once but I was very impressed, the pot noodles were superb. I also think that the chippy called Eagles is the best on the planet. I have also seen Boston play away at Victory Park (Chorley). The away support was very impressive. Hopefully I will be able to make it over again soon.
Dave Lenton (aquariusdiscotheques#hotmail+com) I started supporting the Pilgrims from the 66/67 season whilst I was at BGS (1962-68). I remember such famous names at Jimmy Rayner, Peter Thompson & Jimmy Fell etc. Remember the FA Cup game at home to Orient, and the famous Derby game at the Baseball ground, and also Wembley in '85. Now only an occasional visitor to York St, as I work for British Airways near Heathrow. I used to go visit regularly during my school days with Graham Wright.
Jon Lever (Jonathan+Lever#Virgin+net) I am 17 at the start of March and live in a small town called Heywood in Lancashire. I support Burnley FC and Sittingbourne (Don't ask me why). I also follow the fortunes of the Pilgrims. Living so far away, I can't see them a lot except Radcliffe away. So this site is the only way I can get any info, CHEERS!
Denis Limb (Denis+Limb#bt+com) I have lived in Boston all my life and from an early age supported Boston Utd. I am proud to say I was in the winning team of the first golfing AM/AM and have played in every year since giving Boston Utd my full support.
Howard Lincoln (Howard_Lincoln#ncet+org+uk) I taught at Boston College from 92-95 and followed the Pilgrims avidly during that time. A Saturday was not complete without the "York Street Experience" which for me consisted of an early start in the social club to discuss the prospects for the day and football in general. The Match, essential of course, and finally a return to the social club for a post-mortem and Final Score. Wonderful. I still follow the results and agonise over the league tables but don't see as many matches as I would like though the cup-tie at Bedworth did give me a "home match" this season - I now live in Coventry (73 miles from York Street). My favourite player at York Street was Neil Grayson - a wholehearted player who must have played in just about every position during his time at York St including (tragically as it turned out) in goal. He won player of the year in 94. My other team is Chesterfield FC who have of course shared many players with the Pilgrims in the past (Albert Phelan, Andy Kowalski, Ernie Moss, David Moss and Greg Fee who was at Saltergate on loan for a while).
Darren Littlechild (chiefdezbo#hotmail+com) I am a student at Bournemouth University.
Amanda Lord (amanda.lord#ntlworld+com) I have been supporting the Pilgrims from afar for two years. Living in Leicester and working part time I have had not yet had a chance to visit the ground. Whenever Boston play our local teams like Nuneaton away, I seem to be working. My husband bought me a replica shirt for Christmas so all being well I'll be able to wear it to a third division match next season. Good luck in the future.
Freddy 'Lumpy' Loughner (croftdave#hotmail+com) I played one game for Boston Utd reserves in 1976 and have been a die-hard follower ever since. I'm currently touring the world on a cruise ship performing magic tricks for the punters, but if I make it back for next season will be following the Pilgrims all the way through the Conference and to the Football League. C'mon lads!
Alan Louth (Jake#jlouth+freeserve+com.uk) I watch all of the Pilgrims' home games and when I can make it I go to the away games. I think that we'll have a great chance of promotion next season with Steve Evans in charge.
Jake Louth (lilo#richmond1732+freeserve+co+uk) I've supported Boston since the season they were relegated and I follow them home and away. Steve Evans is GOD. I hate Grantham, Gainsborough and all the other Lincolnshire teams.
Sam Louth (Jake#jlouth+freeserve+com.uk) I'm a ballboy at Boston United and have been for the last three or four years, and now we have good manager, who is under contract I can see this club getting back where we belong, in the Conference.
Jenny Lovick (ray#lovick47+freeserve+co+uk) I am the wife of Ray. Born at Amber Hill. Football widow. I work at Pilgrim Hospital serving nice cups of tea and coffee to those of you who have to come and stay for a while. (Ward 2A). Good luck hope you make the top flight soon. I have promised Ray I will come to watch Boston this season.
Ray Lovick (ray#lovick47+freeserve+co+uk) I moved to Boston 10 years ago to work at Pilgrim Hospital. I used to be an avid Norwich City supporter, well they did need help and still do. My other team was Club Bruges in Belgium, I used to go every other week. I have only started supporting the Pilgrims this season, they are one of the best sides I have seen that are not in one of the main football leagues. Steve Evans has done a great job in such a short time, he and the team deserve to get higher within the next few seasons. Division three here we come. Keep up the good work all you Pilgrim fans the club deserve you.
Dai Lowe (dailowe#hotmail+com) Born in Boston (Wyberton West Hospital, since razed to the ground in keeping with some bye-law that everywhere I am connected with must be - most recently the Societe Generale offices in London) 1952. Lived in Nottingham 1955-1974, York, Warwick and London. This year, moved to Cádiz (1178 miles from York Street) in Spain - see www.lucidity.ltd.uk for details and a link to these pages. Visiting a small bar during Euro 2000, the barman - who has never been to England - recognised the replica strip (yes, I'm so dedicated I don't only drink my coffee from a team mug, I wear polyester (eeeuuuch!) in 40 degrees to watch soccer). I thought he was pulling mi pollabut then he said (in Spanish) "they were promoted this year, no?" Yes, we have football anoraks here too. To see a picture of him go to www.lucidity.ltd/camarone/images/jose.jpg. I may be back in Blighty by April so let's see the Pilgrims at Wembley for the Trophy again, please! Last time my train (Oh I just love your inglés trains!) held me up and I missed the first half. Abrazos.
Douglas Lowe (djj#lowegold+freeserve+co+uk) I am a Bostonian exiled in North Devon. I used to go to matches in the mid-sixties to mid-seventies. I was at the Grammar School 66-74. I have written a book on United's F.A. Cup history which is due (hopefully!) to be published this year by Richard Kay Publications of Boston.
Elliott Lowe (Elliottlowe007#hotmail+com) I am 15. I live in Sleaford. My favourite players are Mark Angel and Richard Logan.
Jack Luffman (lk253611#stmail+staffs+ac+uk) I'm 19 years old and was a United fan the minute I was born. My first kit was a Pilgrims one and at the age of 4 I went to the Trophy final in '85. My Dad was the reserve team manager last year and loves the club as much as I do. I am currently at uni in Stoke and spreading the Pilgrims fanbase with my housemates.
Andrew Lyon (lec7apl#leeds+ac+uk) I have always had a keen interest in Boston United as my Grandad use to referee there, a Mr Victor Stott. All my family have connections with the club and my Uncle David still attends many games. Boston United will always be a very special club to our family and I still look for the results every week because we don't get commentary up here in Leeds!!
Chris Maddison (maddison_christopher#hotmail+com) I was born and lived in Boston for 19 years. I went away to college last year and am now working in New York for a year. I can't wait to come back and get back on the Townend and see the boys get into the football league!
Chris Maddison (chrismaddison#genie+co+uk) I live in Boston and am a fanatic of the team. My brother Glen used to play for the club and my dad's stepson Chris Cook is the club's all time top goal scorer. I never miss a match and look forward to Division 3 football at York st next season.
Dave Maddocks (dmaddock#vaxxine+com) I was born in Boston - my family moved away to Manchester (another "Red") when I was young, however, I spent many a happy summer at my Grandmother's house on Tollfield Road. At the time in the the 50's it was surrounded by fields. I now live in Beamsville (3533 miles from York Street), Ontario, Canada (28 years) and have only been to about two Boston games but have always remained a Bostonian at heart. Now thanks to the internet, I can follow the team if only from a distance.
Kevin Malone (kevin.malone#cwcom+net) I was born in Boston and I lived there until I was 20. Since then I have travelled with my job and am currently living in St Andrews Scotland. I still have a strong family connection with the town and always keep a keen eye on the results.
Michael Maltby (UncleB#hotmail+com) I've been cheering the Boston boys to promotion this season and I truly believe in my heart and soul that it is our destiny to play in the League. The good Lord's book will see us reach the promised land.
Chris Maplethorpe (cmaplethorpe#yahoo+com) I love the club and always go to home matches.
Tommy Märcher (cm2#post+tele+dk) I have been managing Boston United in a Championship Manager game, and have found it natural to support the club. Go for it Pilgrims.
John Markham (a1a24198#bc+sympatico+ca) I left Boston in 1968, arriving in Ontario, Canada then moving to British Columbia in 1979. I've always followed the fortunes of United (good or bad). The first years were a little difficult as I had to rely on any newspapers I could get hold of, or by talking long distance with my dad. But now with modern technology I can keep up to date with all the action. All the best in the up coming season, which ever league the team is in. Truly sorry to see the result at the Barrow game. I'll be coming to Boston this September, so hoping to get to a game.
Rodney Markham (rmarkhamn#aol+com) I am from Gedney Drove End Lincs, but now I live in Upton, Wirral, Merseyside. I always look for Boston Utd results. I am 40 years old, married with 3 children - we also support Tranmere Rovers. The last match I saw Utd play was against Chester City a couple of years ago.
Leon Marsh (clingon104520398#aol+com) I have supported Boston almost all my life. I also play for Boston young Pilgrims under 13s. My favourite players are Bazza, Ross Weatherstone and Simon Weatherstone.
Chris Marshall (wednesdayite82#hotmail+com) I am Boston born and bred. I have supported the Pilgrims ever since I can remember. I would love to see the day when Boston play Sheff Utd in the Third Division. Up the Nortoft.
Michael Marshall (marshallshouse3#netscapeonline+co+uk) The Marshalls are back to York Street; father and son (2 years old). Finally it seems United are starting to rise again after some poor years, which saw my family leave the terrace in total bewilderment of not only the team but also the directors, who in my opinion have led United to such a slump. But what a breath of fresh air Evans has made. Someone who wants the club to do well again which has resulted in fans like myself returning to York Street. My only hope now is this may carry on and put United back where they belong, hopefully persuading my dad to return to York Street who is reluctant even now after some 30 years of support. NOW OR NEVER Evans blow the cobwebs away from York Steet!!!.
Phil Marshall (faboriginal#www+com) Howdy from Down Under. Kept an eye on your progress last year in the Conference and was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out if we would be banned from the Nationwide League. Glad to hear we've made it too the BIG TIME and I'm now jumping on the Band Wagon!!! The only (??) Tasmanian supporter of the Pilgrims.
Gavin Maskell (G.J.Maskell#herts+ac+uk) I have been attending Boston United games since the age of 5. When I first started watching I did so for sheer enjoyment. Now as I have got older I have become gripped by the sheer support that the team receives and will always give my full support to the lads through thick and thin. One of my greatest wishes is to see Boston United as a League team and with Steve Evans at the helm this may happen sooner rather than later. Good luck lads!
Richard Mason (masman_98#yahoo+com) Thought I should sign up and help you conquer the Northwich total. What about the first goal at Gainsboro what a strike!! (ha ha ha they all count) Keep up the good work and the tremendous support that you fans give us.
Steve Massam (steve#smassam+freeserve+co+uk) I am 35 years old, married with one child - Jordan, born and bred in Boston and a lifelong supporter. My son has been attending home matches since he was 13 months, he is now 4 years old and is a die hard Townender. UP THE PILGRIMS.
Paul Masterman (Paul#PMasterman+fsnet+co+uk) I live ten minutes from the ground. I started watching Boston the season they came down from the Conference. My first game was the 6-1 mauling of Gainsboro', and I have been hooked ever since, missing only a few games in this time. I really hope we go up this year as I have never seen Boston the Conference!
Ben May (ben_waz50#hotmail+com) I am 14 years old. I have supported United since the Grantham home match last season. I have missed 3 home games this season. I usually go with my mates from bowling. For Christmas I got my 1st Boston shirt.
Gail May (waynengail#ukonline+co+uk) I have been supporting The Pilgrims for 12 years now. My Dad took me to a game one day and I've never looked back. We go to all home games and most away fixtures, leaving my poor boyfriend as a Football widower. Am I the only female Pilgrims' fan whose partner can't understand what all the fuss is about? I am trying to convert him though!
Keith May (keif#may062+fsnet+co+uk) I went to lots of the home matches during the mid-eighties and the FA Trophy final. I got called back from the wilderness when my Dad and sister persuaded me to go and see the friendly against Huddersfield last season! Now I try to get to see the Pilgrims home and away whenever I can. Division 3 soon???
Vik Maycock (vickymaycock#hotmail+com) I was born in Boston and I have been supporting Boston for most of my life, they are a great team when they play together. I play for a local team, Skegness Ladies! We're hoping to do as well as Boston next year.
Kevin McDonald (kevmac77#hotmail+com) I am a marine in Oman on exercise, but will soon to be home to watch the Pilgrims over Christmas. I missed the start of the season and have just seen the goal that put us out the cup. GUTTED, Unlucky Mark! But let's make it up to the big time eh boys.
John McGovern (john-sue#rcn+com) I am from Boston, Massachusetts U.S.A and I wouldn't recognize Alan Shearer if I tripped over him, but if it means beating those creeps from Northwich Victoria then by all means sign me up as a Pilgrims fan.
Mel McKenna (nataliejayne87#hotmail+com) I am a big fan of Boston United. I am 16 years old and my favorite players are Mark Angel and Mickey Brown. I always watch your games when they are on Sky.
Ross McLaughlan (wills+sandra#virginnet+co+uk) I am 10 years old. Although I wasn't born in Boston, me and two of my friends - Marc Adlesse and Liam Adlesse follow the Pilgrims to most matches. They started taking me with them when they realised Boston always win when I go - and now I'm a fan too! My favourite player is Bazza because of his fearsome kicks and his diving ability.
Mickey McMaltby (Woff#talk21+com) I'm a good lad Boston through and through. I'm a regular with my good friends Paddy Corke and Sandy Melrose the Womble Posse! Spayne Laners might know me as Uncle Bulgaria or Big Mick.
Nick Meeds (NICKMEEDS#nottsforest+fsnet+co+uk) Find me at the snack bar!
Mark Melbourn (m.melbourn#ntlworld+com) Born in Boston, currently living in Nottingham. Life long supporter.
Nathan Miles (paulndebmiles#onmail+co+uk) I am only 4 years old and follow the Pilgrims at every home match where I sit with my dad in the Stantons Stand.
Paul Miles (paulndebmiles#onmail+co+uk) I have been supporting the Pilgims for over 10 years. The Conference away-days in the late-eighties and early-nineties were brilliant, especially travelling to places like Sutton United and Slough Town in Andy Robinson's old Vauxhall Chevette.T he mid-nineties apperared to be a downfall and I therefore only remained visting York Street but still went to every home game. Since Star-Steve Evans and Quow's arrival the club is definetly on the up as well as attendances. Let's hope the team goes full-time next season and gets into the Nationwide League Division Three within the next five years. All the best to United and you loyal fans.
Duncan Millar (duncan+millar1#ntlworld+com) A diehard, dyed in the wool, St Johnstone fan who for some obscure reason has followed the fortunes of Boston United from when I was based in Lincolnshire with the RAF in th 70s to the present day. Great to see you doing so well and with an ex Saintee in charge as well!
Lech-Gustav Milroy (L+G+Milroy#sms.ed+ac+uk) I am 20 yrs old and have been a Boston supporter for the last six years. Lived in Ramsgate 99/00, and missed all bar one of the matches during their championship winning season (the defeat away to Margate), and now I'm up in Edinburgh, missing out on the Pilgrims' long awaited return to the Conference. My support will never fade. The league beckons! Stevie Evans for England!
Phil Minett (phillym2k2#hotmail+com) I had a bet on boston winning the Conference last season and have supported them since. I am 16 years old from Liverpool. Everton is my first team, but I always look for the Boston results.
Carl Miniature (Y2J#askjeeves+co+uk) I really like football and all tyes of good sport like tennis, swimming, running and other sports.
David Mitchell (davemitchell_fulham#hotmail+com) I am a Fulham fan, but when I went to see Grimsby vs Fulham, me and three others went to see "The Pilgrims" vs Hereford. It ended up 5-3 and ever since then we have always given a cheer whenever the mighty Boston score. Good luck!!

Neal Mowbray (n+mowbray#scbanks+co+uk) I have supported the Pilgrims for 23 years ( I am nearly 40! ) and am exiled in Wisbech. I try to see as many home games as possible and about six away games a season.
Callum Moyes (daurgey88#hotmail+com) I live in Auckland, New Zealand but lived in Boston for five years and have seen home games.
Nick Mueller (Nick+Mueller#olsy+co+uk) I used to go to Boston College back in '92. I am a Leeds fan but got into the Pilgrims when Mel 'mind the hair' Sterland went to play for the club. Although I have never been to a match that will change!!
Charlie Mumby (nmumby#msn+com) I'm a devoted BUFC supporter. Though I do follow Newcastle FC! I go to most home matches, and occasional away fixtures.
Andrew Murphy (elle_re#yahoo+co+uk) I am a 20 years old, male and Irish. I have been supporting Boston for two months now (introduced to Boston Utd by Martin Kelly...).

I've been a Boston fan all my life and even though I'm a girl I'm footy-mad!!! ( I also support Tottenham). My claim-to-fame is that I sponsored John McGinley's socks for a season when I was just 15 months old and was told that they scored a number of goals (back in 1991). GOOD LUCK PILGRIMS!!!

Knut B. Mydland (ikvarg#hotmail+no) I would not go as far as to call myself a supporter, but I keep updated on results and most news about Boston Utd through the internet. I currently live in Kristiansand Norway, and my favourite teams except for Boston Utd are IK Start Kristiansand and Man City. And of course my own pub team IK Varg. http://www.stud.ifi.uio.no/~rolo/Varg/. I hope to come and see Boston play in near future.
John Neal (Jneal#tesco+net) I go to the Mighty Pilgrims every home match with Paddy Corke and Martin Wright. We are all Spayne Laners. Paddy is Mr. Bean, Martin is Tufty and I am Big John. Surely Division 3 is calling for the Pilgrims...
Carl Newell (carl#the-pilgrims+co+uk) I have supported Boston United since March 2000 and my favourite player is Mark Rawle.
Chrissy Nicholls (chris#branta98+freeserve+co+uk) I have been a Boston Fan for 3 years now and I think Steve Evans is pure class.
Peter Niedermeier (diam0ndmagic#aol+com) Self confessed BUFC freak. No other club even gets a mention. Totally outspoken about anything that I consider to be wrong at the club. It quite often gets me into trouble, but you get used to that after a while. Former pro drummer with over 30 years in show biz. I now do childrens magic shows. I am a director of Tulipland Potatoes.
Mike Ninnes (mikey_magician#ekno+com) I'm from Armidale, NSW, Australia. I've only been following Boston since the start of this season but I'm looking forward to a great year of football and hopefully next season the 3rd division will have to watch out!

David Norris (david#norris.aol+com) If you're a good fan you should know me. Let's hope you get up to Division Three.
Shaun Norton (nickynorton#hotmail+com) Now living in Jersey for the last 14 years. Married with one son (3yrs) and one on the way. I try to get to see them when ever I'm back there, otherwise I follow them through the papers.
Martyn Nundy (rnundy#telusplanet+com) Born in Kirton, I now live in Alberta, Canada. I always follow the results on the internet. I am married to Rosemary, whose nephew, Neil Featherstone, played his first game for the Pilgrims last season and is in this season's squad.

Stuart Ogden (stuartogden#hotmail+com) Big hello to Andy Robinson and all the dedicated TownEnders; missing them windswept afternoons down at York Street but I'm now living and working in Malta,t hough keeping a close eye on The Pilgrims results via the net. I've now got to contend with supporting the local team - Birkirkara FC who were unlucky pre-season by narrowly being beaten 6-1 by the Scum.

Lee Overton (love479105#aol+com) I am 32 years old and I enjoy watching the Pilgrims.
Stephen Owens (stephenowens#boltblue+com) I think I am Boston's number one fan, but I am sure that every other Boston United fan thinks they are it. I am 13 and I live in Boston about a 5 minute walk from the ground. I am now a season ticket holder and I am going to stay a season ticket holder even if they do get relegated to the Conference.
Kevin Oxford (kevin.oxford#talk21+com) I am the son of Ken Oxford, United's goalkeeper in the 1960's. I attended Staniland and Kitwood schools and always look for the Pilgrims' results and wish everyone at the club all the sucess you deserve.

Stuart Park (stuart#tanyaknitwear+co+uk) I'm an ex-player with Boston Town, Lincoln United and Heanor Town. I live in Lincoln. Ex-team mate of Jim Rodwell.
Ben Parker (bparker_bufc#hotmail+com) I have supported the Pilgrims since I was about 10, going to only five or six games a season though. I started to go a lot more regularly when I was 14. I now have a season ticket and try to get to as many away games as possible. My favourite players at the minute are Ken Charlery, Colin Hoyle and Bazza.
Dave Parnell (dparnell#hotmail+com) I have been a BIG supporter since the first game I went too, that was `79 against Altrincham, and as a young lad I wanted to see Alex Stepney, but I found myself hooked, I didn't miss a home game for 5 years. Then I had to take a job, and this affected the amount of games I could see due to living away. Then 4 years ago I moved back to the area, and that was it, my Saturdays have never been the same since. I also travel to over 60% of away games. I think we are embarking on exciting period for the club, and it is everyone's responsibilty as a supporter to talk the club up.
Cyril Patchett (patchett#themutual+net) I am a full-time Boston fan who lives 5 mins walk from the ground. My favourite player is Mark Rawle. By 2005 Boston United will be top of the Premiership!
Martyn Patchett (yva94#uk.uumail+com) What can I say?! UP THE PILGRIMS!
Nick Patchett (npatchett#npatchett.screaming+net) I live in Sheffield but most of my family live in Boston. My cousin, Tim Goodliff is also a huge Boston United fan. My favourite player is Mark Rawle. UP THE PILGRIMS!!!

Lee Payne (lee.payne#libertysurf+co+uk) I'm 26 years old and like to go out a lot and play pool, snooker and darts.
Drew Peacock (wugga#hotmail+com) I work on the land around Lincolnshire. I am a massive Boston fan, but haven't been to many games at York Street. I prefer to watch the match on teletext. I think we should take the advantage of the collapse at Aston Villa and sign Southgate, Joachim, Hendrie and Ehiogu. Evans is a much better manager than Gregory. Roy, that is.
Jameson Pegg (jameson#superaje+com) I was born in Perth, Ontario, Canada (3334 miles from York Street). I have liked Boston for the past year or so. I am not sure really why I started to be a fan of Boston, but I am! I was happy to find this homepage.

I am 12 but 13 on 21st June and am hoping to get a season ticket for our second season in the Football League. My brother had one for the first and should be getting I again so I don't see why I can't get one. My favourite player is Mark Angel and there's only one Stevie Evans.
Robert Pick (rob#pick41+fsnet+co+uk) I'm Rob and I'm always up the Townend chanting. EVANS' BARMY ARMY!
Greg Pickett (Greg_Pickett#hotmail+com) I'm 18 and have to endure living in Grantham! I'm writing this the day after the Pilgrims clinched the title and I can honestly say that I have never witnessed scenes like that at York Street before. Big thanks to Steve Evans and everyone else associated with Boston United Football Club for making this season one to remember. On to the Conference!
Sean Pierce (seansmall#aol+com) From Orlando, Florida, USA. Starting playing Championship Manager and Boston United intrigued me. Taken them to the Second Division so far in the game and have now become a fan of the club in real life. I've never seen them play, but am always checking for news and results. I support the Pilgrims!
Richard Pikett (chriscowgill#cfpl+freeserve+co+uk) I've been a Pilgrim all my life but since leaving Boston in 1992 I don't get to as many games as I'd like. The WEB site is a top innovation. I now run my own business in London and regularly make the Pilgrimage to York Street and a few away games. Steve Evans is the man for the job and I'm sure great things will follow from his leadership.
Ian Pilbeam (Ian+Pilbeam#ed+ac+uk) My first game was Boxing Day 1977: we slaughtered Worksop (I think) 4-0 in the good old days of Neil Callery and Jim Kabia. Best match... has to be the semi-final against Altrincham: Bob Lee's looping header is frozen in time. Worst memory... second leg of the semi against Mossley in 1980. My own personal highlight was being inaugrual Chairman of the BGSBUFCSC (Boston Grammar School BUFC Supporters Club), and presenting our Player of the Year Trophy to Bob Lee before a match. We never got it back!! I now live in Edinburgh so it's difficult to get to matches, although I was able to come back for the Grantham home game to witness the culmination of the Evans Revival. It brought back happy memories of 1985. Good luck in the Conference Pilgrims.
Andrew Pilkington (pilky89#hotmail+com) I've been supporting the Pilgrims for the best part of 10 years now and am the co-founder of the Horwich & Westhoughton Supporters branch with Chris Sherrington. Although not able to see them as much as I'd like to I have seen some players come and go through York St over this time, and without question, Steve Appleby's drive and determination makes him the best of the bunch!
Kim Marie Pilon (peacegirl20000#hotmail+com) I'm from the USA, (Wisconsin in the Midwest) but had the very good fortune of seeing my first English footy game in Boston, England last September! The Pilgrims won 3-0 against Weymouth. It was so exciting to see the Pilgrims play! I hope to see them play again when I come back to Boston for another visit this year! I just LOVE Boston!! A special hello to Derek, owner of The Cowbridge House Inn - Cheers & Best Wishes!

Nick Porter (ncporter#hotmail+com) I'm 22 and I live in Sydney - Australia (10,496 miles from York Street), and I started following the Pilgrims in 1999, after a visit to my grandparents farm in Tattershall.

Chris Price (jlp#boston99+freeserve+co+uk) I'm 16 years old and I have been supporting Boston United for nearly 10 years. Let's hope that we will soon get promotion into the football league where we belong.
Stuart Priestley (stuart+priestley#btinternet+com) Now living in the soccer hotbed of NE England (sandwiched between Sunderland and Middlesbrough and supporting the Black Cats but they are second to the Pilgrims). Grew up in Boston and watched the lads play in various leagues from 1950 - 1965 and only intermittently since then when they play up here. BGS 62-65.
John Proctor (johngATproctor25DOTfreeserveDOTcoDOTuk) Grew up in Boston, and was a regular supporter through the 'glory days' of the 70's, walking to York Street with Dad most Saturdays from Wyberton. Best memory - mid-70's school's out and the town stopping for the FA Cup replay against Derby (lost 1-6!). Worst memory - any wet walk back home of a Saturday! All time hero - John Froggatt. Now living and working in Lancashire, get to away matches whenever I can - Unibond had a few local away matches, Doc Martens was rubbish, but now the Conference gives me 5 to go at. Best time recently - Ken Charlery scoring his debut goal after 4 mins at Northwich during our first (and only so far) away win this season. Mum, Dad and brother Tom also keen fans (check sponsor of Chris Cook in past years). Any other 'class of '78' BGS out there?
Simon Prue (simonprue#hotmail+com) I am 17and was born in Boston. I live in Swineshead 10 miles away and go to as many games as I can. Got a scarf that has been passed down from one of my uncles who used to wear it when he went to games. Up the Pilgrims! *ONE LOVE, ONE LIFE, ONE UNITED*
Tony Pygott (tony+pygott#tesco+net) I've lived and worked in Boston since 1986 and have watched the Pilgrims regularly since then. I was born in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire and have always supported my local team Doncaster Rovers (someone has to!) and am looking forward to the games between the teams this season. I am a member of the Boston United Social Club quiz team along with several other fans on this page. I'll be the one in the main stand wearing a Donny shirt for that game but every other match its "Come on you yellows".
Bethany Rayner (townyz_babe#hotmail+com) I am 16 years old. I have watched the Pilgrims home and away. My fave players are; David Town, Alex Higgins, and Bazza, as well as all of the lads. I hope they keep going up. Good luck lads.
Emma Rayner (emmaray#fsmail+net) I have been a Boston supporter for the last 9 years. My dad took me when I was 10 years old (ish), and have followed the Pilgrims ever since. My favourite players are James Gould, Jamie Cook, Simon Rusk and the Weatherstone brothers. Come on you Yellows - Football League status has arrived and we are more than able to rise to the challenge!
Heather Rayner (heatherray#fsmail+net) I first saw the Pilgrims in 1972 with my future husband John (who had previously played for FC!), but moved to Northampton when we married. We moved back to Boston in 1980 and John took the kids "out of the way" to the football over the years. Feeling left out I asked if I could go as well, and the bug bit. HARD. We are now all season ticket holders and go on the BUSA buses to away matches. Favourite player is "COSSIE".
Matthew Rayner (mattyray#fsmail+net) I'm 17 years old and I've been a Pilgrims fan since the 95/96 season.
Garry Read (waterhouse17#hotmail+com) I lived in Boston from 1957 to 1974, then I went to Perth in Australia (8991 miles from York Street). I played football for NORPRINT, and the Eagles pub. I had a trial for Lincoln City but then my Mum and Dad came to Australia. I now referee football over here. I have fond memories of watching some good players at Boston, including John Lakin, Billy Howells, Jimmy Fell, David Robinson, Bobby Svarc, John Froggatt, Jim Smith and Howard Wilkinson. To see what I am getting up to nowadays, visit my web site at: http://garryread.tripod.com/garrysworld/.
Nathan Read (kellie_read#hotmail+com) Hi my name is Nathan Read and I have lived in Boston all my life. I have been a Boston United Supporter since they got promoted from the Doctor Martens to the Conference. I very rarely go to the Boston United matches but I am always waiting for goals on the Gillette soccer special to see the score. And if the Pilgrims score I jump off my bed onto the ground screaming with happiness even if we are losing.
Andi Reeson (jarvos#bun+com) I live in Alford and go to all Utds home games and a few away games. I play for Bardney Boys U13. My favourite player is Mark Rawle.
Shaun Reynolds (realpilgrims#aol+com) I am 27 years old and have lived in Boston for 16 years. I have followed the "real pilgrims" ever since. I'm in the Royal Navy and travel home most weekends to see the lads play in "the original theatre of dreams!" Unfortunately I was in the Middle East during the last few months of the championship winning season, but I followed very closely giving the Dagenham & Redbridge followers loads of banter on the way.
Ivan Rich (ic_rich#hotmail+com) As I am from Plymouth, I support the REAL Pilgrims in Green, the mighty Argyle. However I extend my whole support to Boston for making it to the League at last. Division Three teams are not much better than the top half of the Conference outfits so I'm sure you'll do OK next year. I'm just glad the two Pilgrims teams don't have to play each other. There would be so much rubbish written about the history of the Pilgrim Fathers etc.(yawn). Good luck for next season.
Nigel Richards (nigel.richards#yellowpages+co+uk) I work for Yellow Pages and I know Lenny Curtis! I am a Referee in the League of Wales and since I got to know Len last year I have been following your reults very closely. All the best in the Conference next year. If you`re looking for some decent pre-season games then I`ve told Len I could arrange something with our leading teams!!!
Rory Richardson (roryrichardson#hotmail+com) Pilgrims fan since 1982 when I moved to Sleaford from Grimsby. Although I have a season ticket for Nottingham Forest I usually get to around 6-7 games a season. Soon moving to Australia so will be wanting to keep in touch with all the news.
Kevin Riches (kevblade#freenetname+co+uk) Me and my son have been following Boston for the past 5 years after our move to Skegness. I am a Sheffield United fan and my son supports Chelsea but we both follow Boston as our second club because we are unable to get to our other clubs matches. What Boston fans need to do is get friends who support the big clubs but are unable to get to games to get to York Street on match days and swell the crowds ready for (hopefully) the new challenge that awaits next season. Local people get behind your local team (even if your first love is Manchester United).
Leon Richmond (leon#richmond1+freeserve+co+uk) I have supported Boston from the time Greg Fee was appointed manager. I go to every home match and as many away matches as possible.
Liam Roberts (dj_ez_1#hotmail+com) I live in London and am actually a Tottenham fan, but my girlfriend lives right near Boston's ground and so when she gets on my nerves I go to the football, that is why I haven't missed many games this season.
Andy Robinson (arobinson#paragon.skynet+co+uk) Hello to all the Sheff Utd fans who inspired this song, sung to the tune of 'Annie's Theme'. KICK RACISM OUT OF FOOTBALL!
You fill up my senses,
like a gallon of Batemans,
like a packet of Seasalt^*,
like a good pickled egg,
like a night out in Boston,
like an Eagle's chip butty,
like BOSTON UNITED come fill me again!

^*The crisps you get in the Coach and Horses.
Peter Robinson (parobin70#hotmail+com) I lived at Frampton and went to Kirton Secondary modern. I worked at Calders sawmill for a year until joining the navy in 1958. I supported Boston throughout my teenage years and remember well the 6-1 win over Derby. One of our teachers at Kirton was a Derby supporter - he got quite a bit of stick on the Monday! On leaving the Navy I joined GCHQ at Cheltenham where I worked for 27 years. I followed Boston through all that time, whilst regularly going to watch Cheltenham town. I have to admit to being a season ticket holder at Cheltenham. I have seen Boston a few times during the 80's when we were both in the Gola or whatever it was called. On one visit to York street my colleague (a Cheltenham supporter) called the ground a "little old-trafford" and couldn't get over the facilities at Boston. Best of luck in the conference and hope you will be joining Cheltenham in the 3rd next year (unless we've got to the 2nd of course!)
Alan Rodgers (alsatoolman#aol+com) I am a self-employed salesman from Boston and have been a supporter for many years, both home and away.
Paul Roe (roe#loveshischickens+com) I think BUFC are the best club in the world.
Doddy Rogers (doddy101#hotmail+com) Champions at last, well done lads. Here's to Division Three. Cheerz!
Shaun Rogers (julie#srogers1+fsnet+co+uk) I am a 29 year old postie and have lived in the town for 25 years of it and I am a keen follower trying to attend as many games as my wife will let me, both home and away.
Chris Rollings (footiekid#citv+co+uk) I come to most home games with my Dad and my best mate Robert Pick who is on the fans list as well.
Dean Rose (moonhead#totalise+co+uk) I originally come from Tattershall. I moved when I was 18 to study at the University of Derby, were I stayed for two years. Now living in Nottingham. A 60% of games home and away a season man. If there are any other exiles in Nottingham, I am keen to start a mini BUSA branch in Nottingham to perhaps share the load of driving. Anyone interested drop me a line. I work for a car hire company so transport is not a problem but petrol can be on those long away trips (to Carlisle... fingers crossed).
Fiona Alexis Rose (kenneth#atlas-iap+es) I live in Mallorca, but still support Boston Utd. Sibsey is my home village. People laugh about me supporting a little club. There should be at least two up, two down between the League and the Conference to make it more like the Premiership. My friends are avid supporters of various Premiership sides, but I love to hear of Boston doing well. The local Spanish pub even buys English papers for me so I can see what is happening in the Conference.
Darren Royal (darren_royal#hotmail+com) I have supported Boston United for 3 to 4 years. I have been to every home match since I started supporting them and I am only 15 years old so i have my whole life to support them. I have been to a three away matches - St Albans in the F.A. Trophy, Kettering on New Year's day and I went to Tiverton a few weeks ago. I am going to go to more away matches and I am a TOWNENDER!
Craig Sadler (u_guys#talk21+com) I am 17 and I have been a keen supporter now for four seasons. I go to every home game and try to get to some away games. I live in Skegness but I still travel to see them because they are my life. Favourite players: Daryl Clare, Bazza, Mark Angel and Ellender. I stand in the Town End and sing my heart out for the lads. We will bring flair to Division 3 next season. See everyone there.
Mark Sampson (SampySony#aol+com) I am 19 years old and I have followed the Pilgrims since I was born. I now life in Nottingham but I don't forget my roots. I try to get to games whenever possible and we are clearly the best football team in the world!
Harriet Sandys (harrietsandys#hotmmail+com) I am 10 years old and I live in Metheringham. I support Boston United (of course!). My fave player is MARK RAWLE!
Damon Satchwell (DSATCH58#aol+com) I now live in Seattle (4696 miles from York Street) but follow the fortunes of Boston every chance I get. Born in Skegness, I played a lot of football in and around the Boston Leagues.
Matthew Savage (matthewajs#hotmail+com) Born May 2000, first football experience will have to be the Euro 2000 Championships but I'm assured that watching the Pilgrims will be even better!
Stuart Savage (stuartjsuk#hotmail+com) A pilgrim now for well over 30 years and a season ticket holder in the 70s whilst at BGS. Best memory still the ball rolling along the goal-line at the Baseball ground. Currently exiled in Maidenhead, with young family. Now starting 18th year in the broadcasting industry having started at BBC, then BSkyB, Cable & Wireless and now ntl!
Diane Sawyer (isebeau#hotmail+com) I live in Durham, North Carolina USA and have become a fan through my friend Kelvin Gray in Boston, England. I got to know Kelvin and his wife Sue, who I play bridge with on the internet, and where she and I met two years ago. We have been visiting back and forth since then. Am I the only person to have a Boston United sweatshirt and a fleece in the US?
Scott Schaffarczyk (pip#richmondp+freeserve+co+uk) All Pilgrims don't worry cos we're off up next season under the guidance of the Messiah Stevie Evans. I've supported Boston since Greg Fee was in charge. Hope to see you all at WEMBLEY. I hate Grantham - I'm only human after all.
Alex Scotney (alex_scotney#hotmail+com) I have been a Pilgrims supporter for the last 10 years, but recently have not been to too many games due to my commitments as a referee (someone's got to do it!). I am desparate for us to go up and keep hold of Sir Steve. Good luck for the Conference boys!
Bryan Scotney (bw+scotney#ulst+ac+uk) Born and grew up in Bicker. A regular at York Street during the mid-late 70's before moving away to university. I work as a lecturer in Mathematics at the University of Ulster - Coleraine (307 miles from York Street) and get to see two or three home games each season when I'm back in Lincolnshire.
Steve Scrimshaw (wookie#srjs+fsnet+co+uk) I was born in Boston's Pilgrim hospital in 1974 and was brought up in South Lincolnshire. I now live in the far North of Scotland (about 20 miles west of John O'Groats) and work at the Dounreay Nuclear Facility. My family still live in Lincs and my dad works for a training company in Boston.
Emma Searle (graham#bostonstump+fsbusiness+co+uk) I am 21 and am a recently converted Boston fan. I went to the Southport game in which we won. I have a daughter of 18 months old. I am looking forward to coming to more games this season.
Nicholas Seiflow (Nicholas+Seiflow#gte+net) Vancouver Canada might seem like a long way from York Street (4633 miles) but when the air is clear and you're high enough......... Go Pilgrims go!
Bob Sharman (robert+sharman#onmail+co+uk) I'm a lifelong supporter of the Pilgrims and a hater of Grantham and Lincoln City - hey I'm nearly perfect! It shall not be long before we overtake Lincoln City and claim our rightful place as THE team of Lincolnshire. Then the Lincolnshire Echo might take some notice of us. Let's make some noise for Stevie Evans' Barmy Army !!!!
Tina Sharman (cowgirltina#hotmail+com) Hi! Well done Pilgrims -I'm proud of you. I'm in Oklahoma, USA so my dad has been keeping me up to date with how you've been doing. I'm a Boston girl though (well, Swineshead born and bred!). I love it over here but I do miss a few things: -Football- they don't have a clue about the game! Also I miss Fish & Chips and Walkers crisps. Apart from that the USA is great and so are the Cowboys! I have loved football since I was in Primary school. It is so good to see a local footy team do really well. I have been to quite a few of the games over the last several years. Good luck for next season. P.S. Hello to anyone who knows me -this is where I have disappeared to!
Malcolm Sharp (malcsharp#bigpond+com) Followed United since 1976. First used the website back in the mid nineties when I lived in Cincinnati - it was the only way of keeping up with The Pilgrims. Can't beat Charlie Blakey in Dunedin, however I'm not that far from him, I live just outside Melbourne in OZ. Like Charlie how can anyone forget Big bad battling Bob Lee's last minute winner against Altrincham.
Chris Sherrington (CJS3BUS#BOLTON+ac+uk) I am a Pilgrims fan from Horwich. Over here we have set up the Boston United Supporters Club (Horwich and Westhoughton Branch), of which Daniel Leece is also a member, and have around 10 proud members. I am a student at Bolton Institute and I am also a season ticket holder at Bolton Wanderers FC. This means I do not get to see the Pilgrims as often as I would like though I have followed them to Chorley, Bamber Bridge and Leigh/Horwich RMI as well as visiting the impressive York Street on a couple of occasions. Up the Pilgrims!!!
Tanya Shrivastava (tshrivastava#serco+com) I am an ex-Bostonian who used to regularly attend home matches from 1983-1990, I now have to follow United's progress from London. Great to see them having a fantastic season!
Megan Simmons (family#simmonsihg+freeserve+co+uk) I am 8 years old. I follow Boston Utd home and away with my Dad, Mum and little sister. I go to Kirton primary school and I am in the school choir. My favorite players are Simon Weatherstone and Bazza. I stand on the Spayne Rd side and you can often hear me shouting "COME ON BOSTON". I will be the mascot at the Chester game on the 23rd of March.
Richard Simpson (LouiseChambers#btinternet+com) I am a Tractor Boy at heart, living in Stowmarket (Suffolk) but all my family live in Boston and surrounding villages. I do go to some games when I can and I do follow Boston religiously, every week on teletext or by phoning my Grandad (Frank). Third Division here we come!
Mark Singer (themaster25#yahoo+com) I play Soccer for a local club and my High School team. I plan in playing until college and then go off to England. Maybe even play for you guys, but my goal is to play for Bradford City. I was a fan of them back when Lee Power was on their team and followed him all the way here.
Craig Singleton (craigsingleton#fsmail+net) I have been a Pilgrims' fan for about eight years now. I have been mascots on six occasions, including the historic 9-3 win over Buxton. More recently I have been reporting on United for the Boston Target. I have been a regular supporter of the Academy over the last two seasons and actually played towards the end of 2000/2001! My favourite players of all time are Colin Hoyle, Paul Fewings and Lennie Curtis.
Donna Skidmore (donnaskidmore#hotmail+com) I live in Chesterfield and my boyfriend got me into watching Boston Utd. I am a manageress of a betting shop and try and put up Boston's games in the window.
Brendon Skinner (brennybanta#hotmail+com) I've been a follower of BUFC for some time now. My favourite player was Noel Luke. What a legend. But I'm still outraged that the club ever let go the new Chris "god" Cook in many peoples eyes Neil Featherstone. Unbelievable!
Tor Bernhard Slaathaug (t+b+slaathaug#studorg+uio+no) I am from Norway, live in Norway, and work in Norway. I am 20 years old, and I work with student politics. I want to be a Pilgrims' Fan! I really do. I want to start up a supporter club in Norway for the Pilgrims here in Norway. Please contact me.
John Slade (john#jslade+freeserve+co+uk) Supported United through thick and thin for years, although my support waned when we were relegated from the Conference. I like to think I was responsible for getting the NORPRINT advertising board at United re-enstated.
Mark Sleaford (KIRCARR#AOL+com) I'm a supporter of the Pilgrims and I also enjoy playing footy for Nortoft Boys U13's, because I'm brilliant!
Mickey Small (AndyLisaButler#townendbarmyarmy+freeserve+co+uk) Supporter of 25 years standing and at last we have a decent manager who thinks about the most important people - the fans. While Steve is in charge I will continue to sponsor the team. Good luck for the new season Steve.
Cecilia Smart (cecilia_smart#exxonmobil+com) It's good to see us up to the giddy heights of the Conference again. Have to follow the results courtesy of "Gillette Super Soccer Saturday" in London, when I would rather be standing in the rain in Boston with a packet of "Seasalt" crisps in my hand!
Adam Smith (smifaye#hotmail+com) I go to Boston Grammar School. I am 13 years old. Everybody knows my sister Claire "mif" Smith, I think she is a cow! I go to Boston most weeks and stand in the Spain Road stand. I have supported Boston since I was about seven years old when I went with my dad and sat in the Stantons Stand.
Bernie Smith (smith_bernie#hotmail+com) Pilgrims fan for many years from up in Scotland. Delighted to see the boys in the Football League!
Chris Smith (maia#netlineuk+net) I emigrated to the flatlands in 1979, from Sheffield, and stayed, working locally. It seems perverse not to support your local football team (and nowhere near as contemptible as the millions of 'so-called' Man Utd fans who never go and watch them or who don't actually know how to find Old Trafford). I'm also a member of the Boston Utd Social Club quiz team with Andy Stone et. al. (There should be seven of us on this site somewhere - and always in the ground on match days!)
Daniel Smith (Daniel.Smith#fishtoft.school.lincs.sch.uk) I am 10 years old and I come to watch the home games every Saturday. My favourite player is Daryl Clare.
Darren Smith (darrensmith820#yahoo+com) I think Boston United are great and the best game last season was Boston against Grantham Town. I normally go to the games with Phillip and Lewis Wright. I live in the great village of Friskney.
Earline Smith (ladye41#bellsouth+net) Hi ya'll. I live in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA and fully support ya'll. Great going guys.
Luke Smith (94smithl#qegs+lincs+sch+uk) Boston are the best team in the world - Long live Steve Evans.
James Smith (martin.smith#compaq+com) Born in 1984, I've been supporting the Pilgrims since I was taken to York Street in my pram! My favourite game was the FA Trophy game at home to Altrincham this year. I also enjoyed the cup match at Chester a couple of years ago. "Come on you pilgrims"
Martin Smith (martin.smith#compaq+com) I was born and lived in Boston until about 1980. I went to BGS and then Salford University. I now live in Verwood in Dorset with my family (son is James (see above) - named after guess who!!), and work for Compaq. I started watching the Pilgrims in the old West Midland league days and have watched them as often as I can since. I remember the glory days of the NPL as if they were only yesterday. It's great that we're in the DM league now, as I can get to plenty of away games. Come on you Pilgrims!!!
Matthew Smith (thims2#aol+com) I am 12 years old. I attend the Boston Grammar School. I support Manchester United and Boston. My favourite Boston players are Joby Gowshall and Andrew Stanhope.
Mel Smith (MEL#skeggy21+freeserve+co+uk) Aged 44, married with two grown up children. I am a full-time fire officer at Skegness. I also support Spurs. I watch most of Boston's Saturday home games. I play 1st division darts for the Rail-road club and fish with Wainfleet and New Leake.
Neil Smith (neil-carla#carla-neil+fsnet+co+uk) I used to live 12 miles from Boston in a little place called New Leake. While I lived there I never went to see a game at York Street. But since I moved to Derby I have followed Boston as my home team (my second team is Man. Utd) I like to go when I come home visiting. The first game I went to see was against Ilkeston Town in the F.A. Cup. It was interesting running through the streets with over enthusiastic Ilkeston fans on your tail....!
Roger Smith (dipsrs#ibm+net) I was born in Boston 31 years ago and lived my childhood days in York St - about 50 yards from the turnstiles. Does this make me the closest (unless anyone lives in the Social Club)? I now live and work in Bewdley, (104 miles from York Street) which is near Kidderminster but I have vowed only to go there again when Utd return. Having found this site it should prove a lot easier to follow results and events. Am I the only person here to wish a return to the glory days of the 60s, 70s and 80s? Favourite players of all time must be John Froggatt and Billy Howells. Does anyone else know that Andy Malkinson is the worst dart player of all time - he just can't play the game!
David "Bill" Smithbone (david#smithbone+freeserve+co+uk) I left Boston for Norwich as United were heading for relegation, I'm now leaving for Ipswich as promotion beckons. Should I have left earlier? Does anyone else remember seeing Stan Collymore play at York St. for Stafford? Or did I dream it?
Phil Sneath (phil#sneath+freeserve+co+uk) I have followed the Pilgrims since I was 5 years old. I am now 22. It's good to see some success at last. When at University in Leeds, I used to make a 200 mile round trip to watch almost every home game.
Jay Snell (jaysnell#compuserve+com) My dad took myself and my brother along to a game as he is a big fan and now my brother and I are hooked as well.
Rodger Snell (the-pilgrim#prime+net+sa) My wife Jean and I are big fans of the PILGRIMS. We try to get to as many matches as we can, both Home and Away when we are back from Saudi Arabia on holiday. We keep in touch with the club by telephoning the press box for the half-time and full time scores. When we play away we telephone the away club to see how the PILGRIM'S are getting on. Winning hopefully!
Chris Snow (chris_snow#bigfoot+com) I started following the Pilgrims when I met my girlfriend Emma (now my wife), in Sleaford. Originally from Wolverhampton, the Wolves are my first love. I used to regard Boston as my third team behind Kidderminster, but the Pilgrims have overtaken the Harriers in my affections. Hopefully both sides will get promotion this season. I get to York St as oftern as is practical, living as I now do in Oxfordshire and working in Brussels every other week. If I ever come by enough money I'd love to be involved with United in some way.
Di Sobkowiak (jcarpenter#rusko+freeserve+co+uk) I am a mother of two boys who go to home games, they both support Man Utd as well as Boston. I must admit I enjoy football too!
Gary Spate (publisher#ntlworld+com) I am usually a Grimsby Town fan but I have been watching the progress of the Pilgrims the past two seasons and I say that the future is looking extremely bright for Boston. Well done, you've just earned yourself a new fan!
Chris Spence (rgsptt#aol+com) Boston are unstopable and will be promoted in the next few years. Visit my site at www.goesbetter.com and find out why I'm a true Pilgrims' fan.
Mick Spillane (slow#trainer4547+fsnet+co+uk) The first match I saw was way back in the sixties. It was the FA Cup match against Orient. The score was 1-1, and since that day I have been hooked. I feel lucky to have seen the best non-league team in the country. We have been cheated out of going into the League on two occasions. The first time was when we beat Wimbledon in the non-league "Champions of Champions" to see who would be put forward for the League. We both put forward the rest is history. The same happened with Wigan we won the Northern Premier League they came second, we put forward so did Wigan - that also is history. Let's hope this is third time lucky!
Sarah Spillane (sarah#spillanes+fsnet+co+uk) I go home and away with Boston Utd. My fav players are Mono and David Norris.
Daniel Spittle (Daniel.Spittle#albertave+freeserve+co+uk) As a supporter of Boston for 9 years it is great to see them back in the Conference. I go to every home game and travel to as many away games as I can. Let's hope we have have an even better season in the Conference this season now we are full-time and let's hope we have a good FA Cup run this season - hopefully get drawn against Lincoln City in the early rounds and Man Utd in round three. Good luck Steve Evans in the coming season.
Stuart Staines (slipknotrule00#aol+com) I have been a Boston supporter for a few years now and live up in Hartlepool. Thanks to this I can't go and see the home games (DAMN) but I see all the away games and love the Pilgrims. COME ON BOSTON!!!
Richard Staples (richardstaples#hotmail+com) I am 28, I live in York but I am originally from Skegness. I have followed Boston United since I was young going to many matches with my grandad. The highlight of my time as a Boston Utd fan was the cup semi-final win over Altrincham. I have travelled as far as Worcester to watch Utd (last season) and my biggest heartbreak of course has to be the Wembley final.
Dunc Starbuck (cardun#starby+fsnet+co+uk) I've supported "The Pilgrims" all my life, even after moving away from Boston in '92 to the Lincoln area.
Craig Stark (cstarkclan#aol+com) I am a season ticket holder at Dunfermline Athletic. I have been watching the Pilgrims progress for about 10 years. I seem to have got my sons interested as well. Hope to come down to a game in the new season hopefully in division 3.
Keith Stathers (keithstathers#mb+imag+net) I was raised in Boston and went to Kittwood. Finished school in Dec. 1958 and left Boston to work in Gainsborough. Was in the Merchant Navy until 1963 when I emigrated to Canada and came to Winnipeg. I have been here for over 30 years and consider myself an adopted Canadian. I still have all my family in England and have been back to visit a number of times. I will be visiting my sister Sylvia in Burgh-Le-Marsh. Would like to hear from some of the guys from Kittwood.
David Steadman (david.steadman#tesco+net) Born in Boston in 1945, attended Carlton Road School and the Grammar School. Left Boston to go to university in 1964. Sister and two brothers still live in Boston; third brother lives in Pinchbeck. Regulaly supported United whilst at school, still follow their results every week. Currently living near Dunmow, Essex with my wife of 29 years! Two sons both graduated from university last Summer; both have had the pleasure of seeing the Pilgrims at York Street and the eldest went with me to support them at Wembley.
Sam Steer (sam#laugh-net+co+uk) I am 14 years old and live about 2 miles from York Street. The ground's got a great atmosphere every home game and it's always funny to see Steve Evans throw his water bottle at the ref. Keep it up Steve, and the team and maybe one day we'll be in the third division.
Sigmar Stef�nsson (sigmars#beer+com) I'm a 22 year old university student from Iceland who got to know the Pilgrims through the computer game 'Championship Manager' and now I consider myself one of Iceland's biggest Pilgrims' fans. I definately plan to visit York Street Stadium in near future. Keep up the good work!
George Stephens (george#boston38+freeserve+co+uk) Have supported Boston since the 50's (Derby County and Spurs in the famous cup run, Midland League games against the likes of Nottingham Forest, Notts County, Rotherham, Scunthorpe - reserves of course, local derbies versus the Posh). I played for the United Team in the Boston League as a kid before leaving Boston in the 60's - Tommy Lowder was the Manager, Ken Oxford - former goalkeeper managed the Sunday League team. I now live in London and saw the away match against Kingstonian this season. What happened to the real stars - Dusty Miller, Eric Lister, Johnny Birbeck, Andy Graver, Johnny Garvie, Ray Middleton, Geoff Snade, the Hazledine brothers? Keep the faith and see you in the Conference next season!
Bryan Eric Stephenson (tindajii10#sprintmail+com) I am a Web Designer from the U.S.
Carl Stephenson (hlop7082#northtyneside.org.uk) I am 15 years old and I am football mad. I hang around with Anthony Cartwright. (SOMETIMES) and I like to go to parties. I play football every Tuesday and Sunday.
Keith Stevens (keith.stevens#pgen+net) I am from West London. Myself and my wife Val have been in Boston now close on 30 years. Our son Chris was born here - he supports Leicester City and Boston United and I support Celtic and Boston. We would like to hear some more verbal support in chants and songs as it really lifts the team, even when they are going through a rough patch - so let's give them a blast!
Pete Steward (petestew#postmaster+co+uk) Lived in Boston in the late 1970s, and supported United in the NPL glory days. Have lived in London for ten years, and have rediscovered my love of the Pilgrims through the internet. Loved last season's success, and managed to see five games. I am currently planning my route to all Conference grounds in the South.
Robbie Stewart (robbie#stewart1971+fsnet+co+uk) I'm 17 and live in Glasgow, Scotland. I am a youth team player with Clydebank F.C. I first found out about the Pilgrims from my girlfriend's cousin who is a lecterer of sports science at Boston College and lectures some of the Academy boys at the College. He has been spreading the gospel about Boston United to me and has been trying to convince me to come and play for them. I now always check the scores on a Saturday and I'm frequently on the website and hope to make it to a few games this year. I am very impressed with the Academy system in place at the club as it means players in a similar situation to me have something to fall back on if they do not make it as a footballer.
Tim Stoodley (5647382910#talk21+com) I am more than a mad Boston fan, I am a crazy Boston fan because I was born there.
The Storer Family (xlo58#dial.pipex+com) John, Jo, Mark and Matthew Storer live in Benington, Boston. Alice lives there too but is not the world's greatest football fan. Favourite player: Paul Bastock.
Mark Storer (MStorer50#Hotmail+com) I support Boston Utd and I sit in the Stantons' stand. Hope to see Boston in the football league in the next year or two.
Trond Storvik (trond_storvik#hotmail+com) I'm a Norwegian guy who has become a Pilgrims-fan during the past year. I'm 22 years old and I hope Boston United will have a successful first season in the 3rd division. Good luck everybody!
Chris Stott (castott#ntlworld+com) My name is Chris Stott, another one of the Stott Clan from Boston. I now reside in Cardiff, after moving from Boston via Spalding, Stockwell, South Norwood and Reading. I'm the baby of the family (although I'm 44) and went along to see the Pilgrims with by brothers, Howard and David, and for a period of time was even a ballboy under the management of Jim Smith. One vivid memory was our 6-1 defeat by Derby in the FA CUP (we was robbed in the first match due to a sloping goal mouth!) and had the distinction of running onto the pitch and placing the ball on the penalty spot when were awarded a penalty (10 seconds of fame on the telly). Although I'm an avid Baggies fan, I have seen the Pilgrims occasionally whilst on my travels and still check the results every week and was impressed with last year's performance. I was disappointed that I was unable to see the Pilgrims on their visits to Wales. Best of luck for the new season you never know!
David Stott (DavidAStott#aol+com) I was born in Boston (1952 - what a giveaway) and have been supporting the Pilgrims since 1966 (West Midlands League Champions days - Don Donovan, Billy Howells etc - followed them right through to the Jim Smith and Howard Wilkinson era until work took me away). Watched them home and away during my late teens (thrown out of many a ground - both officially and unofficially). I now live in Scotland (Dollar which is near Stirling). I currently work in Newcastle (so only get home at weekends) but ALWAYS ensure any trips home (saw the boys 3 times at home last season) are when the Pilgrims are at home - currently planning a trip for the first home Conference game. Still know a few of the regulars who drink in The Ship before the games (Tony and crew). Good to see your web page - it is lifeline to someone like me.
Gareth Stott (gds#psychology+nottingham+ac+uk) I was born in Boston (1974) and have been a massive fan of the Pilgrims since my father started me off when I was a child. My grandfather (Victor Stott) has been a ref at the ground and my father (David Stott) has been kicked out of the ground. I started coming back to Boston (as I live in Nottingham) to watch the games with my dad on a whim and just became addicted to them. I now intend for it to be a regular thing for myself and my girlfriend as she also likes coming to the games even though she was born in Bristol. A big round of applause for the web site as it keeps me in touch of what's happening.
Howard Victor Jackson Stott (H.V.J.S#btinternet+com) Another Stott born and bred in Boston but now living in Pinchbeck. Always followed Boston as a youth with little brother David and even littler brother Christopher. Being the son of Vic Stott it was inevitable that football was an interest and not only followed Boston but played locally for teams like Railway, Kirton colts and One # Ten. It's great to see Boston keeping up with the times with a great web page, I promise to visit York Street again soon.
Alf Swain (swainliverpool#aol+com) As an Everton / Celtic fan from Liverpool, I came across the Pilgrims whilst researching my family tree in Boston. My great grandfather came from Fishtoft, where I met long suffering and much travelled Boston fan Greg Swain, who will be known to many of your readers. If any of you do indeed know him please pass on my regards. Working in Leicester, I have managed to attend a few games, most recently the thrilling (!) Lincs Cup semi-final win at Grantham. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to my next visit to York St.
Matthew Tavender (bigstan#globalnet+co+uk) I am currently the Boston United Reserves captain. I have played for the reserves for two seasons. I am from Louth. I was brought to the club by Mark Shackleton last season. My main complaint is that my name is always spelt wrong as it is TAVENDER and not TAVINDER. I have enjoyed playing for the reserves and I would like to see more of you fans come to see us when we are at home and you do not go to see the first team.
James Taylor (TaylorAGJM#aol+com) I am 11 years old and I go to William Lovell School. I play football for Boston Town Juniors and have done for 3 years. I support Manchester United as well as Boston United. I come to Boston United's games when I can. I haven't really got a favourite player, I just like them all.
Mark Taylor (markie+taylor#virgin+net) I was born in Boston, but moved away to go to college. My parents still live in Boston. I used to go to matches with my Dad when I was small (when last in Conference). I now live in Sheffield and hope to get to half a dozen home games and the Doncaster, Scarborough away games.
Mark Taylor (energizer451#hotmail+com) I'm actually a Diamonds fan but my dad comes from Lincolnshire (Mablethorpe) and I hope you come up this season coz I enjoyed the trip last time around. Good Luck.
Matthew "EGG!!!" Taylor (peter.taylor11#btinternet+com) I have supported Boston since I was about 10 or 11 when I went to see them play against dirty Leeds Utd. I go to Boston Grammer School and I am known to most people as EGG!!!. I play in central defence for BGS and Wyberton Colts (who are much better than Fishtoft) with my mate Joe+ Bradbury. Me and Braders went on the week training with Stevie and Trev along with Joe Deamer, Jonnie Maltby, Joe Turner and all my other mates. We thought it was great so cheers to everyone who set it up. UP THE PILGRIMS! and SAVE CHIP DON'T LET SARAH WIN!
William (known as David) Taylor (W+D+T#btinternet+com) I was born in Skegness in 1948. My first love is Grimsby Town, but I follow the Pilgrims' results every Saturday and I am pleased they are doing well. I would love to see them back in Conference. I used to play for the Skegness Spartans in the old Boston League in the 1960s.
Trevor Tebbs (thetebbsfamily#ttebbs+freeserve+co+uk) I was born in the Boston area and have supported the Pilgrims since the age of 10. I moved away for a few years but am now back in area and go to most home matches. This year Boston should make it into the third division.
Mervyn Tham (vyntct#pd.jaring.my) I'm from Sabah, Malaysia - Paul Bastock's former club. Paul was our first foreign signing together with Rodwell and Chris Zoricich (New Zealand team captain). Paul was only about 18 at that time and is someone like "schmikes". I have a colleague who was a team mate of his here who says he is a great bloke.
David Thomas (david#boston19+fsnet+co+uk) I have fond memories of being a United fan as far back as 1963. Some of the best games I can remember were in the days of Jim Smith and players like Billy Howells, John Lakin and Jimmy Fell. Like many other United fans my most memorable game was Altrincham in 1985 and subsequently Wembley. I have very fond memories of a real gentleman of that time, the late Arthur Mann. He was a great player and manager as well as being a very nice person. Let's hope our current super manager and his terrific team can achieve something most United supporters can only have dreamed about; Football League status.
Alan Thompson (thompsa#hotmail+com) Old Kitwood boy and proud of it. Went to Uni dispite my 11# results, now in Hitchin. Most of my family still live in Boston and when I come back, if there is a home game, I will go and see how the Pilgrims are doing. See you at Stevenage next year!!!
Becky Thompson (pilgrimsshop#hotmail+com) I've been a 'Pilgrims' supporter since I was 3 years old. I am now the Merchandise Manager and run the Pilgrims' Shop, both of which I do on a voluntary basis.
Gary Thompson (garyinsierra#hotmail+com) Have been in the Army for 23 years. Currently serving with as a Military Advisor in Sierra Leone. Being in the Army has cut down my visits to York Street, but am due back in the UK towards the end of September. Am buying a house in Boston on my return and so am looking forward to watching Boston in the 3rd Division this season.
Kian Thompson (kianthompson#hotmail+com) I am 2 years old, my favourite player is Daryl Clare and my Mummy runs the Pilgrims' Shop. Good Luck in division 3 !
Nick Thompson (NICKGFT#aol+com) I've been a supporter since 1966, match announcer since 1967 a job I now share with Mick Fixter. Programme editor throughout the 70's and early 80's. And 'retired' last year after 10 years as Alphabet Forecast Promoter. And now in my 34th year of putting up the flags before every match at York Street. I enjoy all my voluntary jobs but am getting too old for this lark !!
Carl Thorn (carl#carlthorn+screaming+net) I have watched United on and off since my dad started taking me to games when I was about 6 years old. I was a "ball-boy" from about 1971 to 1974, in the heady days of Northern Premier League glory and legends such as Bobby Svarc, Billy Howells, Malcolm White and the like. Now in my late thirties, I have the pleasure of taking my two sons, Joe and Jack, to York Street.
Jason Tierney (jason+tierney1#btinternet+com) I currently live in SHrewsbury, Shropshire and as a rule support Shrewsbury Town. I used to live in Algarkirk, just outside Sutterton, between 1981-86, and attended Cowley's in Donnington. I always look out for Boston's results since I left Lincs, and have seen great progress over the years. Let's hope we will see the Pilgrims at the Meadow next year. Good luck also with one of our ex-players (Mickey Brown), a hero in Shrewsbury. Let's hope he helps the Pilgrims to be "Champions".
Abigail Tilley (Tilleys#matthewflinders+fsnet+co+uk) I am seven years old. I watch all Boston United home games with my Dad. It was my birthday on 5th May, when they were playing Hereford United. My favourite player is Jamie Cook. I go to Staniland School. I love swimming and playing tennis. I would like to be a mascot next season.
Sam Timmons (samtimmons#completetosser+co+uk) I am 15 years old, have posted a message on the forum and am just getting back into football after a three year holiday. I live in Sheffield, but was born at Boston General. I will be trying to get down to as many games as I can this season, but it isn't going to be easy. UP THE PIILGRIMS.
Lewis Tompsett (tommo2k1#i-hate-spurs+co+uk) I am 15 years old and dare I say it support Arsenal, but as a child, the first football match I ever saw involved Boston Utd so they have always been my favourite non-league side. I live in Eastbourne (East Sussex) so it is difficult for me too watch them play.
Jonny Topas (squeakathon#talk21+com) I've supported Boston since I squeaked on the Spain Lane aged 5!! I stand with my uncle Martin Wright and his friends. My favourite players are Dick and Lodge. I am an avid member of the KTC and proud of it. Into Division 3 with Peter Dorrs' beard behind us!
Dave Trigg (croydontrigg#hotmail+com) Living in Croydon, Surrey. I have supported United for more than 38 years. I have lived away from Boston for the last 25 years but manage to see the away games in the south of England.
Graham Trigg (G.TRIGG.2000#tinyworld+co+uk) I am a self employed plumber who intends to see all Boston's home matches and as many away matches as possible. Come rain or shine win or lose.
Antony Turner (pantsturner#hotmail+com) I, like my brother Chris Turner and parents Merv & Mille Turner, moved in 1985 to Ely. I now live in Swavesey near Cambridge. I haven't seen many names I recognise from Kitwood Boys, classes of 82 (Mr Perret), 83 (can't remember the form tutor) and 84 (Mr Grenfell) but glad to see lots of names of old Bostonians. I'm 29 now and look forward to the time I come back to visit, grandmothers, and go to York Street on a Saturday. I can still remember Cook's Goal at Wembley, FA Trophy final, 1 on 1 with the keeper, just chip the ball over into the net. The Boston end went crazy.
Chris Turner (Chris+Turner#granadamedia+com) I went to loads of games as a kid, then my parents moved to Cambridge when I was 17 so I no longer go to games. I supported Boston United and Leeds United since I was 8. I now live in Brixton. Pleased to see the Altrincham semi final (13th April 1985) is up on the web page cos I was in the corner of the ground that they scored from in the closing minutes. It felt fantastic. Dunno why I didn't go to the final! I remember the Town End Terrace going up and being amazed. Keep it up. Glad to see you're top of the table, and have a wicked site that took me back to my days in Boston.
Joe Turner (dick#oldrids+com) I've been a Pilgrims' Fan for two years. I stand in the Townend and cheer on the Pilgrims. As I am a striker for B.G.S., Mark Rawle is my favourite player. Big "Up the Pilgrims for the League".
Martyn Turner (martyn+turner#ntlworld+com) I have been an avid fan for many years and am pleased to see them back in the Conference league - will be supporting them all the way. Keep up the good work lads.
Merv and Millie Turner (mervturner44#freenet+co+uk) We now live near Ely in Cambridgeshire. I ( Merv) retired from full-time employment five years ago, and now work part-time as a courier. Millie is a part-time receptionist at a fitness club.
Matthew Twiddy (mattanddeb#aol+com) I live in the small village of Wembury on the Devon/Cornwall border. I am 26 years old and my family came from Boston originally and my grandparents still live there. Brought up in Nottingham, I have been to many home matches over the years when visiting (80s-90s) the family (who all go weekly). Promotion would be fantastic for me as Plymouth, Exeter and Torquay are near.
Christine Tyldesley (tyldesley34#hotmail+com) I live near another non-league side - Accrington Stanley, so all my support to you non-leaguers. Good luck for the season.
Emma Tyler (hamlethouse#onet+co+uk) I'm only a new born baby, and daddy hasn't taken me to any games yet, but I'm told that the Pilgrims are the greatest side in the DML, and my daddy would never lie to me.
Mark Tyler (hamlethouse#onet+co+uk) G.P. near Peterborough having trained in Boston. Fairly well known to regulars at York St as have been stand-in club doctor on a few occasions. Good friend of current club doctor Lee Burman who I trained with. Favourite team Ipswich Town, I was at Wembley in 1978 when we beat Arsenal. Favourite Pilgrims player - Steve Appleby.
Mary Tyler (hamlethouse#onet+co+uk) Married to G.P. who trained in Boston, but has since moved areas. Favourite team - Watford. Favourite player - Luther Blisset. Favourite Boston Utd Player ever - Leroy Chambers.
Charlie Ulyatt (charlie#chant4+co+uk) I lived in Boston all of my life until the middle of 97 when I moved to Nottingham, and sorry folks, but I'm really pleased I did! My only regret is not watching "The Lads" play. I know it's laziness, but I haven't even been this season at all. I got fed up with all the anticipation each season, only for all hope to vanish in the latter stages ...... please tell me it won't this year! Tell you what though ... you get better Bateman's in Nottingham than you do in Boston!
Adam Upsall (adam#pilgrimpages.f9+co+uk) I live in Butterwick just outside Boston and have done all my life! United fan (that's Boston and Sheffield!) with many good memories and hoping to have a few more now we are in the 92. Oh trips to Scunthorpe and Southend - what glamour this Third Division is, so let's get behind Thommo and the lads. (www.pilgrimpages.f9.co.uk)
Richard Vaughan (richard+vaughan#pronet+hu) Boston born but now in Budapest, Hungary. I'm always keen to hear how the Pilgrims are getting on. Pleased to see my nephew Joe in the reserves.
Andrew Vaughton (andrew+vaughton#kcl+ac+uk) I am from Wales and I support the Pilgrims!
Peter Waddington (p+g+waddington#btinternet+com) Started supporting the Pilgrims (before they were known as that) in the mid 50s. Moved away from Boston in 1962 but still attended as many matches as possible - was even a season ticket holder though living in Wolverhampton. (Travelled over 16000 miles in one season.) Still get to see most matches, as parents returned to Boston. Collect Boston United programmes - have 2400 but always looking for more. Would be interested to hear from other collectors to try and establish a data-base of what programmes have been issued.
Graham Wain (shottesford#aol+com) Lived in Main Ridge early 50's regular visitor to York St. Now live East Sussex and Australia. Good luck in the 3rd.
Scott Walden (scottwalden#sega-europe+com) I have been a Boston United fanatic for nearly all of my 15 years (as at 09/03/2002. I couldn't get to Wembley in '85 -- I wasn't born then. Everybody say aahh, because I was one of those people that travelled to Dagenham on that very bad Monday night. I am typing this after Daryl Clare's magnificent 4-goal haul against Dover. WHAT A PLAYER!
Colin Walker (colin-ols.walker#dfee.gov.uk) I have followed the plight of Boston United for about 10 years now but never been to see them apart from a copuple of away games at Frickley and other places. But I am sure that now I have got travel arrangements sorted I will be making my first of many trips in the early season.
John Walker (jww#fsmail+net) I have been a Boston United supporter for 30# years hopefully this will be our year.
George Wallis (Wallis+House#tesco+net) I am the biggest fan of BUFC Boston has ever seen. Not the best of seasons so far but still along way to go. Division 3 is surely in sight and with David Norris back on loan we should be looking for a top six finish this year. Shame to see Mark Rawle leave but he'll play for England one day. Up the SAT1s, BUFC, Nosher and Stevie.
Jonathan Ward (wardy#aol+co+uk) I have lived in Boston all my life and it's good to see Boston doing well in the Conference this year. TOWNENDERS 2001 & 4EVA!!!
Geoff Warner (geoffwarner#netscape+net) Born in Boston August 1951. Old Boy of Boston Grammar School. Left Boston in 1979 for other parts of UK. Emigrated to Canada 1990. Currently living in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Nick Watson (nick#a16watson481+fsnet+co+uk) I am 29 years old and a life-long Pilgrims' fan. I'm usually at every home match.
Ross Weatherstone (rossweatherstone#hotmail+com) I'm Ross. I play for Boston and absolutley love the club and fans. I'm looking for a nice Boston lass so that I can settle in the area.
Ian West (helenphilpott2#btinternet+com) I promise I will come to as many games as possible but work commitments won't let me. I am 30 living in Norfolk and travel down every week to see my darling girlfriend (just in case she reads this).
Graham Wheatley (graham#picturelibrary+flyer+co+uk) Steffen Cook paid me five grand to add my name to this list. And I'm still waiting for the ca$h. I guess he must be your biggest supporter (at 26 stone, he definitely IS). I am in Pompey but like to support the underdog occasionally. Up the Pilgrims!
Neal Wheatley (Barca1985#aol+com) I am 13 yrs old and attend Middlecott school, Kirton, near Boston. I like football, cricket and basketball. I play in the Mid Lincs A League for Nortoft Boys U-14 football team. We are brilliant. I go to York Street when I can.
Jim Wherritt (jrwherritt#hotmail+com) I am first and foremost a Barnsley fan, but since coming to work in the area I've been introduced to Boston United. My thanks to the many friends who have made me welcome at the games. You may see me in the town driving a bright green audi, please say hello! All the best to United for the rest of the season. The Barnsley Pilgrim.
Alan Whitaker (whitakeralan939#cs+com) From Boston now living in Fakenham, Norfolk. Been living in Cornwall for the last 10 years. Been on Mastermind (specialist subjects War of the Roses and Sex Pistols and Punk Rock} and Brain of Britain, but I enjoy one or two pints.
Paul Whitaker (gwhitaker#eisa+net+au) Great to find your site as my uncle played for you years ago (Peter Whitaker) and I always look for your scores on the net. I come from Bulwell in Nott'm and emigrated 8 years ago and keep in touch with all that is going on in the U.K. I see there is another supporter in Brisbane (I live there too) and will try and email him. Well will have to go as it is my turn to throw another prawn on the barbie! All the best to you and your supporters and feel free to email anytime as it is great to hear from people back home.
John White) (Gavrilla2#hotmail+com) I was born in Skegness but now live in London, close to Brentford's stadium. I have been a long time follower and supporter of Grimsby Town (I lived there for a while) but I always follow the results of the other "yellow belly" teams ( cunthorpe, Lincoln & Boston United) and it's great to have another Lincolnshire club in the League. I have two daughters; one following Grimsby and the other following Boston Utd. We all like to say "Well done the Pilgrims".
Paul Whiteway (antounim#mweb+co+za) I left Boston 11 years ago. I'm presently in South Africa and have my own import/export business.
Richard Whiting (whitingr#planetc+com) Alas, I can't lay claim to being a knowlegable fan of the Pilgrims, as I have not yet crossed the Atlantic, to visit Boston, the birthplace of John Whiting, your Mayor in 1600 & 1608, (a VERY distant relative!). I played the game in my later school years, and continue to follow the sport here in the USA. It continues to gain in popularity, and massive participation thanks to the American Youth Soccer Association. Best Wishes for continued success, from an American fan of the game, in East Tennessee.
David Whittle (david.whittle1#virgin+net) I used to live in York Street itself (from the age of 9 months!).
Alan Whyte (Tangerine_magpie#yahoo+com) Lived in Boston for some years without being a Pilgrims supporter until last season -- I realised what I've been missing. Dead keen now. To the Conference and beyond !
Stuart Wild (stulin#fsnet+com) I am so sorry lads I had to register. I am Rocco! The secret is out.... Barmy Army.
Paul "Windy" Wilde (pwilde1#ford+com) Thanks for letting me re-join the Boston Barmy Army after many years (5ish) in the wilderness. I moved to Boston at the age of 6, went to Wyberton Primary and then became a "Grammar Puff". On the way I played for Nortoft, Wyberton Colts, Boston FC Colts, Holland Schools, Lincolnshire Schools and dabbled in a few trials games at Lincoln City and Grimsby Town. It wasn't that I was good, just that I'd stick my head in places more dangerous than Rumours (in the glory days). I've got the X-rays to prove it (see my museum at Pilgrim). My football playing ended in a friendly I played for "Cavaliers" about 3 years ago, when I badly broke my ankle. I ran away from Boston in 1988 to complete a degree in Manchester where we had a "Boston House". I then started work for ICI, got another degree and left to join Ford Motor Company about 5 years ago. I am now an ESSEX BOY and live in Upminster on the end of the District Line. I still come "home" to Boston but not as often as I'd like. I got married last year to Lisa whose family live in Lincolnshire.
Ken Wilkinson (wilkiefc#hotmail+com) I am 74 and was born and raised in Boston. I have been an avid supporter of Boston Utd for many years. I really enjoy the non-league scene and have seen some great games over the years. Good luck to the Pilgrims next season.
Andy Willerton (willertonandy#hotmail+com) I have supported the Pilgrims sine the 97/98 season. I'm 14 and looking forward to seeing Boston in the league next season! Come on you yellows! Bazzzaaaaaaa 1.
Chris Willerton (willerton#rwillerton+fsnet+co+uk) I've supported Boston since the start of the 1999/2000 season. Mark Rawle is the best striker in the Conference.
Ian Williams (ian#iwilliams69+freeserve+co+uk) Married son and daughter also support BUFC. Hope to persuade wife to visit York Street this year. Looking forward to playing Doncaster Rovers as they were the team I supported as a boy (Yes, I am a very sad individual!)
Kevin Williams (kevwill6#aol+com) I am a Fulham fan. Last May together with three others we visited Boston United as we were playing Grimsby the following day. You beat Hereford 5-3. Since then we have followed your results. Our last ever game at Craven Cottage is 27/4/02 against Leicester, so we won't be able to join in with your celebrations when you beat Hayes, clinch the championship and a well deserved place in the football league. "COME ON YOU PILGRIMS"
Riley Williams (rhw#memalpha+cx) I am an ex-Bostonian with a keen interest in the town. I also have connections with the Haven High School in the town, where I have been involved with the school's Department of Information Technology.
Paul Wilson (pjw01#lineone+net) I have lived in Boston for 12 years and the year I moved here I think Boston finished 3rd in the Conference. Since then they went down hill. But now, with Evans in charge, who knows where they may end up. I also run Fishtoft Under twelves.
Ian Wood (ianfromboston#aol+com) I used to watch Boston Unted regularly growing up. Now living in Holden, Mass, USA, and get to see the team once a year with my 8 year-old and 3-year-old boys when we visit.
Steve Wood (daugey88#hotmail+com) I watch United most weekends. I live in Tattershall and have been to four away games this season including Dagenham.
Colin Woodcock (cwoodcock#boston+f9+co+uk) Proud to have supported the club for over thirty years... through the good times and the bad... from the terraces to the Boardroom. Now we're going forwards again. Thank 'Evans!
Alan Woods (alanrwoods#hotmail+com) Long distance supporter from Rochester in Kent. Was only able to see the Pilgrims once last season and that was in the 2-1 defeat on the slope at Margate. With Welling dropping down, I guess that a jaunt to Dover will be my only opportunity this coming season.
David Woods (david#thunder182+demon+co+uk) I was born in Wainfleet (where my parents still live) and went to Skegness Grammar School (left in 1976). I am now a solicitor living in Norwich. I am a season ticket holder at Carrow Road but I get back to York Street whenever my Canary commitments allow me. I usually go to York Street with my Dad, Vic Woods, another Pilgrims fan who recently retired after 40 years working for Batemans. Now that the Pilgrims are in the Dr Martens League I shall have a chance to go to more away games (Kings Lynn, Cambridge etc.).
Vince Woods (bostonman#hot-toast+com) I've followed the yellows ever since my dad took me for a birthday treat in 1977 to endure a 0-0 draw with damn Runcorn. (Only notable event was a Runcorn player being stretchered off after being hit on his 'little fella' by a mishit pass by a Pilgrim). How things have changed! I now live in Nottingham and I'm best friends with the A52.
Steve Woodliffe) (listen2me#talk21+com) I am the new edition of the Spayne Lane crew. I'm known to the boys as 'colonel slap'. My favourite players are Tim Wooding and Andrew Stanhope. But I believe Peter Dorr should be scouted by Trevor Quow. I enjoy doing the maths challenge at half time, but would like to see the boys win sometimes. Up the KTC!
Phil Wrigglesworth (phil#pwriggleswoth+freeserve+co+uk) I am 29 and have followed the Pilgrims since we went to Wembley in 1985. So I would like to thank Steve Evans for saving us from another year of mediocrity.
Barbara Wright (barbara#sterlingrecruitment+fsnet+co+uk) On meeting my husband Graham, I not only fell in love with him but also the Fens of Boston, as I am a Cambridgeshire Fen girl. We often visit Boston but look forward to early retirement (here's hoping) so that we can return home!!
Dave Wright (davewatboston#aol+com) I have followed the Pilgrims for 30 years, and now go down to York Street with my son as often as I can. I hope to be watching them in the football league very soon!!
Graham Wright (graham#bostonstump+fsbusiness+co+uk) Born in Leverton in 1950, supported the Pilgrims all my life. Job opportunities meant relocation but always looked for the scores. I now live in Harlow, Essex, which has brought me closer to home. I went to Rushden, marvellous atmosphere and good draw, and recently saw the victory over Nuneaton. Looking forward to retirement in Boston - hope the nerves survive!
Lewis Wright (Lewis_Wright8#hotmail+com) I am 14 years old and I go to the Giles school. I have supported the Pilgrims for 4 years. My favourite players are Peter Costello, Ross Weatherstone and Joby Gowshall.
Martin Wright (tufty#talk21+com) I watch the Pilgrims every home match. I go to the matches with John Neal and Paddy Corke. We would like to see the boys lift the Conference trophy this year. We hope to see more legs there next season, we love Steve Evans. (Spayne Laners will know me as Tufty)
Peter Wright (kyleview2002#aol+com) Passionate follower of the Pilgrims for twenty years. Enjoy the crack of travelling away. Speak as one of the few hardy souls, being drenched at the unforgetable day at Southport. Consider myself one of the true fans adopted or otherwise.
Robert Wright (bobwright#bigfoot+com) A resident of Old Leake and Boston 1952-1973. Currently living in Morpeth, Northumberland.
Sam Wright (yorkstreetstar#aol+com) I follow BUFC and I am a big forest fan. I don't go to many away matches but either my dad or grandad take me to most home games.
Steve Wright (steve151271#yahoo+co+uk) I'm 30, from Sheffield and very interested on how you do in the League. Good luck, hope you do a Wimbledon!
Wes Wright (weswes#weswes+freeserve+co+uk) Surely the 3rd Division beckons...
Andrew Wroot (ra#wroot+screaming+net) I was born in Wyberton Hospital in July 1963. I went to Frithville primary school followed by Horncastle Grammar School. I played for U17 Coach & Horses (Boston) and Wyberton Colts U17. Joined Royal Navy in 1979 to serve Queen & country. Involved in Falklands conflict 1982. Married to Ruth for 9 years, 2 adorable daughters Amy(6), Annabel(4). Strong faith and belief in Christianity - which keeps me sane in a mad world. Very pleased Boston are now in Nationwide Conference because they can now visit Yeovil, which is where I currently live. "Looking forward to Feb 2001". Still lots of relatives in Boston, I get there about 4-5 times per year. Am I mad - I am still proud to call it home. Finally - When Boston beat Grantham in May, "I was there" - a great moment.
John Wyldbore (Johnwyldbore#hotmail+com) Hiya. I am 18 years of age and am a big supporter of Boston United. I live in Peterborough, not far away. I've got family who live in Boston and I also have a friend who plays for Boston's youth team. Look out for Tommy Fielding. See everybody at pre-season. Come on Boston Utd.
Richard Yarnell (richard_yarnell#hotmail+com) Recently married & living in Boston. Don't get to as many games as I'd like to.
David Young (You1671r#boston+ac+uk) I live and work in Boston. I go to Boston College and I attend most of the home games when I can, but because of work I have not been to as many games this season as I did last season.
