Abandoned EFL stadium left to rot with pitch covered in weeds just five years after hosting final match
A FORMER EFL stadium has been left covered in weeds after being abandoned five years ago. Boston United played their final game at York Street in 2020, as they moved to the newly built Jakemans Community Stadium. 3 3 3 The stadium was first opened in 1933, as football had been played on the site since the late 1800s. The ground was initially known as Shodfiriars Lane and hosted several clubs from Boston. The Pilgrims made it their official home in 1933 as they became the only team to play there. York Street was rebuilt in the 1970s with a capacity of over 6,500 with new terracing, stands, floodlights, toilets and turnstiles. The Town End Terrace was also redeveloped with an estimated cost of £200,000 - raised by the local community. This was done after inspectors deemed it unsuitable for the Football League. Derby County in the FA Cup in 1974. Boston had managed to hold the Rams to a 0-0 draw in the original tie but lost the replay at home 6-1.

The stadium featured in the EFL after Boston's promotion in 2002, when they reached the third division. The league became League Two in the 2004/05 season. York Street's stay in the EFL would end with the Pilgrims' relegation from the EFL in 2007. Boston had run into financial issues and were deducted 10 points for failing to pay creditors. The club was dropped into the sixth tier and have since played across the non-league divisions. The stadium was used for much more than just football during its heyday. In the 1930s, it hosted greyhound racing, which occurred around the pitch. It was a popular event as over 1,000 fans attended the first organised meeting. The track was closed during World War II and was never reopened. The ground is now derelict after it was abandoned as can be seen in a picture shared on social media. The snap shows the pitch has become overgrown with weeds and is looking worse for wear. The stadium was put up for sale in 2022 with a price tag of £5million. That figure has now been slashed by £3m, according to Poyntons Consultancy. The consultancy firm has claimed it would be "suitable for retail warehousing".
