Boston Town Football Club is a football club based in Boston, Lincolnshire, England. They are currently members of the and play at Tattershall Road.HistoryThe club was established as Boston Football Club in 1964 by former officials of Boston United who were concerned that United's financial problems which had led them to resign from the Midland League would force them to fold. They joined the Lincolnshire League, winning it in their first season. They moved to the Central Alliance the following season, going on to win a second successive league title without losing a match. In 1966 they joined the Eastern Counties League. After finishing sixth in their first season, the club finished second from bottom in 1967–68, forcing them to seek re-election. However, as the club were on the northern edge of the league's geographical boundary, they resigned and instead joined the Midland League.Boston won the Midland League in 1974–75; having finished their league fixtures they were ahead of Eastwood Town in the table but Eastwood had one match left at Skegness and could overtake Boston if they won. Despite being 3–1 up at half time, they eventually drew 3–3, meaning Boston were league champions. In 1976–77 the club reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first (and to date only) time in their history, losing 3–1 at Barnsley. They won the league again in 1978–79; in a repeat of the 1974–75 title, Boston had finished their fixtures at the top of the table, but Skegness could overtake them if they won their final fixture. However, they lost at Retford Town.
