Excellent new stadium although only three sided at present. Build quality is very good for this level of football. Atmosphere not yet as good as York Street but will improve. Viewing sight line are much better than before, a real class stadium. Parking limited at ground but plenty of street parking available at present

What a fantastic football place this is. The ground is straight forward to get to, parking is booked with your ticket, however, if you don’t do this, there’s plenty of free parking on the opposite side of the roundabout at a housing development, which is less than a 5 minute walk away from the ground.
The stadium looks modern, and has a welcoming comfortable setup for the home supporters. It has a similar setup to a previous review I put up which I was also really impressed with (Bromley FC). There’s a gastropub attached to the stadium, but no door through to the stadium. It’s got some old memorabilia from the York Street Stadium in there, and the attention to detail is thoroughly impressive. Keep an eye out for the badge on pretty much everything!
The pitch looked fantastic, the flood lights were different to any others I’ve seen which added to the modernised look. This stadium looks like it should be in the Football League.
The facilities were fantastic, clean and everything you’d expect with a good toilet experience. Again, accessibility was brilliant for all users.
The food was decent with a wide variety. There was also a great choice of drinks to choose from, all of which, were a reasonable price.
There was a minority police presence, nothing to stop trouble between a local rival. The atmosphere was a bit quiet considering there was over 1500 people in there. But the team has been struggling of late, but it started to pick up towards the end when the result was all but confirmed.
There were very few negatives, but the burger was incredibly greasy. Maybe I was just the unlucky one. The parking needs to be advertised when purchasing a ticket online a lot better, as I completely missed this. Again, these are very minor issues, that only real critics would have issues with.
Brilliant Stadium, 100% worth a visit.

I was very surprised. I well designed stadium, albeit not quite complete , with ample parking.
The view from the main and only seated stand was more than clear and the seats comfortable with good leg room.
The pitch is raised, so I cannot comment on the views for those folks who were standing but they are all covered from the worse of the elements.
Parking was reasonable at £3 upon site and did not take too long to flow out through the only roundabout at the end.

History (from Wikipedia)
Boston United play at York Street, currently styled as The Jakemans Stadium through a sponsorship deal. There are four sides to the stadium: the Main seated Mick George Stand; the Co-Operative York Street Stand; the Spayne Road Terrace; and the old away end—now known as The Jakemans Stand and turned into a home stand. The away fans currently sit in a section of the York Street Stand.
Former club chairman Jon Sotnick claimed it was not up to Football League standards and called for a new ground during the Pilgrims' time in the Football League.[citation needed] Planning applications were made to Boston Borough Council in June 2006, but the council turned down the application. The ground has a total capacity of 6,643.
The club are looking to build a new stadium outside the town, and on 10 April 2019 announced that the 2019-2020 season will be their last at York Street.[5]
For the beginning of the 2020–21 season, the club were granted permission to use Gainsborough Trinity's Northolme as their home ground temporarily whilst finishing touches were applied to their new stadium. [6]

3 stars is for the food quality. Service is a bit lacking. However it's not that they have BAD service, but understaffed. Everything took forever. I felt... Read More
