Stadium
Boston United play at York Street, currently styled as The Jakemans Stadium through a sponsorship deal. There are four sides to the stadium: the Staffsmart Stand; the Benton Brothers York Street Stand; the Spayne Road Terrace; and the old away end—now known as Jakemans 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. 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.
