Terrace Chatter: Boston v Altrincham
Congratulations everyone! You survived Christmas, you made it through Jools’ Annual Hootenanny – and all the mince pies have now been eaten. Your reward for all this epic endeavour is the first home game of 2019, a game which sees the Pilgrims up against old adversaries Altrincham – although the Boston side Alty will be […]
Terrace Chatter: Boston v Bradford Park Avenue
It’s always funny to revisit predictions – especially mine, which are traditionally terrible. A quick glance at last year’s New Year issue of The Pilgrim saw Terrace Chatter eagerly looking ahead to what it hoped would be a rather more enjoyable year than the last. “Frankly, 2017 will not be a year that lingers long […]

Terrace Chatter: Boston v Alfreton
Christmas Day is a bit like being at an airport, or a beach bar in the Canary Islands: it’s one of the few occasions that you don’t feel remotely guilty about drinking alcohol before midday. And if tradition dictates you should be snoring loudly by the time the Queen pops up to deliver her annual […]
Terrace Chatter: Boston v York
I can’t say I really enjoyed the last time I watched Boston play York back in March. It was raining, there was no roof on the terrace, and I dropped my half-time grub on the floor – although the floor was probably the best place for it given it looked like someone had drop-kicked a […]
United’s Last Stand: A Decade Since Wrexham
Such was the drama of the occasion you didn’t notice it on the day, and it’s tricky to spot on the fuzzy YouTube footage, but Boston United’s faint hopes of remaining a Football League club were actually killed off by a rabona.
Terrace Chatter: Boston v Darlington
Since you probably got bored of my gushing eulogising over the Jay Rollins winner against North Ferriby, it’s quite possible you missed me concluding my column in last week’s edition with a flippant comment about the last time anyone enjoying the FA Cup around here being around 1996.
Terrace Chatter: Boston v Haughmond
Sometimes it’s the little things that really thrill you; the little nuances that went unnoticed the first time around. It might be the joke in a film you finally got on the second viewing, or a song on an album you came to appreciate years later. Or maybe the mini garlic kievs you only discovered […]
Terrace Chatter: Boston v North Ferriby
Media interviews done, Adam Murray ambled back to the dugout at FC United’s Broadhurst Park and sat alone with his thoughts for a moment. As his players warmed down on the empty pitch, the United manager stretched out on the bench and gazed out into the distance in a contemplative trance, a bit like a […]
Terrace Chatter: Boston v Nuneaton
No sooner had Lincoln City tweeted an appeal last week for information about the whereabouts of some stolen GPS tracking vests than they were inundated with snarky replies pointing out that there shouldn’t be anything easier to track down than a vest equipped with GPS.
Terrace Chatter: Boston v Chorley
I’m not sure the offer of a lift to Tamworth has ever cheered anyone up as much as it did me late Saturday afternoon as I trundled through the Nottinghamshire countryside, returning from a Boston United match that never happened.
Terrace Chatter: Boston v Spennymoor Town
It’s hard to figure out if the EU’s decision to ban roaming charges a couple of months ago is going to end up being a blessing or a curse. Before the ban, refusing to fork out a month’s salary for a modest data bundle on holiday placed you in a kind of internet quarantine (on […]
