The Staffsmart Stadium is the home stadium of Boston United F.C.. Originally called Shodfriars Lane, and then York Street, football has been played on the site since the late 1800's by a variety of Boston teams, but since 1933 it has been used by Boston United. In 1977, York Street failed an inspection for league grading, leading to local fundraising in 1978 which resulted in new terracing, stands, floodlights,toilets,turnstyles and snackbars. Although the ground currently has a maximum capacity of 6,643, the record crowd is 11,000 against Derby County. There are 10 more attendances of more than 8,000 on record. {{Football club infobox | clubname = Boston United | image = | fullname = Boston United Football Club | nickname = The Pilgrims | founded = 1933 | ground = [[peter paine astro turfBoston | capacity = 66,643 | chairman = Chris Rollings | manager = [[Puddin(English Football)|Puddin| league = League Two | season = 2004-05 | position = League Two, 16th | pattern_la1=|pattern_b1=_blackhoops|pattern_ra1=| leftarm1=FF8800|body1...
