Anybody else going, I am booked on the coach - Rest of family are away for the day so felt in view of last week's result, the team deserved my support. Looking forward to it, should be a good day out!!

Me and my Dad are going.

Always enjoy going to Boston.

One of the few proper segregated away ends in this league, which I prefer and a tidy stadium.

Been about 6 times since then and never had a problem.  Well segregated and well organised.

Looking forward to it.

Don't get me wrong, its a decent enough ground and there are a lot of clubs in our league that could learn from them with regards to segregation and how to organise a game, but the fact is that I find the people insufferable, the town horrible and the memories horrific. It remains the only football ground I have ever cried at, and as a young kid at the time that never leaves you.

The last time I went there was no attempt at trouble from the Boston fans and our fans were treated well. I appreciate Boston as a club have distanced themselves from the regime of the time and are trying to be a family orientated club. Does that make me forget everything and want to go back? I'm sorry, but no chance.

Years ago Boston was a very isolated insular place that didn't have much contact with outsiders, since the mass migration from Eastern Europe its now probably one of the most diverse places in the country. They are far more affable to outsiders than they were a generation ago. Its one of my favourite away trips, and I'm upset to be missing it this year, I may take in Weymouth v Braintree in the FA cup or Portland United v Cranbourne depending on what's happening.

Not been to the footy in Boston for many years.  I'd go if I could.  As for visiting the town for any other reason - nah.
