Boston United are expecting to be roared on by a strong contingent of travelling fans at Alfreton Town this evening's for their vital play off quarter final game.

The Pilgrims are aiming to secure promotion to the national league.

That's the division just below the football league.

Victory tonight would see them taking on Scunthorpe United in the semi final on Saturday.

Because Alfreton finished higher in the table they have home advantage.

However plenty of Boston fans are expected to make the trip this evening to try and provide vocal backing to lift the players.

The Pilgrims pulled off two wins from their final 2 games of the regular season to secure the play off spot and will be feeling confident.

The tie must be decided on the night with extra time if the scores are level at 90 minutes.

If extra time can't separate the 2 sides it will go to penalties.

Two years ago Boston were involved in the play offs making the final before agonisingly losing to York in the final.

This year they'll be hoping to go one better and secure promotion.
