The ground is just off the A16 in Wyberton, south of Boston town centre. Take the M25 through the Dartford Tunnel to junction 27, then take the M11, A14 and A1(M) to Peterborough. At junction 17 of the A1(M) take the A1139 and in about eight miles turn on to the A15 at the Paston roundabout. At the next junction take the A47 towards Eye, and then in another half mile take the A16, following the road round Spalding towards Boston. In Wyberton take the third exit at a roundabout in to Pilgrim Way for the ground.

Further car parking spaces will become available following the completion of construction works at the Community Stadium in the future.
Any disabled supporters intending to attend any of our upcoming fixtures are advised to contact the ticket office on (01205) 364406 to discuss their in-ground and parking requirements.
If parking near the stadium, please consider those living in the area.
By Rail
There are no trains between King’s Cross and Peterborough throughout the weekend. As a result, while it is still possible to take the train, it will require multiple changes to get to Boston as well as a very early start.
Due to the engineering works, only three services will arrive in time for kick-off, running every hour from 6:42am to 8:42am. Get to Cambridge, which can be reached from Sutton via a Southern service to London Victoria, a Victoria line service to Tottenham Hale and a Greater Anglia service to Cambridge. From there, catch two East Midlands Railway service towards Liverpool Lime Street and then Skegness, changing at Ely and then Grantham, before alighting at Boston station. The journey could take as much as five-and-a-half hours.
There are then a network of footpaths from the town to the stadium, although those using the footpath will have to cross the A16 via the crossing points.
By Taxi

Last Time We Met
Having spent a large part of the afternoon at the foot of the live National League table as the goals went in at Truro, Sutton were prevented from finishing the afternoon bottom of the table when David Ogbonna came off the substitutes’ bench to grab an equaliser in the third minute of stoppage time and deny Boston the points that looked likely to head back to Lincolnshire. The visitors might even have gone home with nothing, but were indebted to goalkeeper Rhys Lovett for a magnificent save to keep out a volley from Jack Taylor three minutes after Ogbonna’s equaliser.
Until then it had looked to be another frustrating afternoon for Sutton, who went behind just after the half hour mark to a fine Matty Hudson free kick, and having missed a golden chance to level before the break when Brandon Njoku headed against a post, had struggled to get the ball in to areas where they could hurt Boston.
However the introduction of Ogbonna in the 89th minute gave U’s renewed energy, and he had already created two moments of promise before sending in another cross from the right which deflected off Jordy Hiwula and looped over Lovett.

Played for Both
Jordan Adebayo-Smith
United States-born forward Jordan Adebayo-Smith spent three years in England, and included brief stints at both Boston United and Sutton United.
Hailing from California, Adebayo-Smith initially came to the UK with trials at Cambridge United and Watford, before joining Lincoln City on a two-year scholarship. After making his First Team debut for the Imp – a start in a 2-2 draw with Accrington Stanley – the forward embarked on a handful of loan spells, joining Grantham Town, Boston and Gainsborough Trinity. His single goal for the Pilgrims came against former club Grantham in the Lincolnshire Senior Cup Semi-Final, before having his contract at his parent club terminated the following year.
He subsequently dropped into non-league with a move to Sutton, where he appeared just once for the club before returning to America after just four months at Gander Green Lane.
Adebayo-Smith later turned out for Tampa Ray Rowdies, New England Revolution II and Minesota United, where he currently resides, appearing for both the First Team and the Reserve Team of the Loons.
