Abandoned EFL stadium left to rot with pitch covered in weeds just five years after hosting final match
A FORMER EFL stadium has been left covered in weeds after being abandoned five years ago. Boston United played their final game at York Street in 2020, as they moved to the newly built Jakemans Community Stadium. 3 3 3 The stadium was first opened in 1933, as football had been played on the site since the late 1800s. The ground was initially known as Shodfiriars Lane and hosted several clubs from Boston. The Pilgrims made it their official home in 1933 as they became the only team to play there. York Street was rebuilt in the 1970s with a capacity of over 6,500 with new terracing, stands, floodlights, toilets and turnstiles. The Town End Terrace was also redeveloped with an estimated cost of £200,000 - raised by the local community. This was done after inspectors deemed it unsuitable for the Football League. Derby County in the FA Cup in 1974. Boston had managed to hold the Rams to a 0-0 draw in the original tie but lost the replay at home 6-1. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS There are also ten more matches on record that saw the number of fans surpass 8,000. The stadium featured in the EFL after Boston's promotion in 2002, when they reached the third division. The league became League Two in the 2004/05 season. York Street's stay in the EFL would end with the Pilgrims' relegation from the EFL in 2007. Boston had run into financial issues and were deducted 10 points for failing to pay creditors. The club was dropped into the sixth tier and have since played across the non-league divisions. The stadium was used for much more than just football during its heyday. In the 1930s, it hosted greyhound racing, which occurred around the pitch. It was a popular event as over 1,000 fans attended the first organised meeting. The track was closed during World War II and was never reopened. The ground is now derelict after it was abandoned as can be seen in a picture shared on social media. The snap shows the pitch has become overgrown with weeds and is looking worse for wear. The stadium was put up for sale in 2022 with a price tag of £5million. That figure has now been slashed by £3m, according to Poyntons Consultancy. The consultancy firm has claimed it would be "suitable for retail warehousing".

The mummy blogger, 27, showed off her very toned abs as she slipped into the skimpy bathers. Posing in all her best angles for an Instagram video, the influencer was all smiles as she stepped into the icy cold water for a dip. Moments later, Indy could be seen stepping out of the tub, trying not to shiver as she made a seductive exit from the bath. 'I made every excuse not to get in this thing,' Indy captioned the video. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes as Indy has been stepping out looking very different recently following a dramatic weight loss journey and undergoing various cosmetic procedures. She was spotted putting on a leggy display as she left Tessuto Cafe on York Street on Tuesday, wearing a black mini dress ahead of the BOUF product launch in Priceline. Flaunting her new breast augmentation, which she received last year, the mother-of-three also flashed her pearly white veneers while holding a takeaway cup. Indy rugged up against the cold with a chic black suit jacket as she stepped into a pair of open-toed red heels. At one point, the brunette beauty, who shares Navy, four, Bambi, two, and Soul, one with husband Ben Azar, could be seen slicking on some lip gloss. Indy has been undergoing a complete transformation in recent years, changing her locks from blonde to brunette and receiving several cosmetic procedures. She is a known patient of The Cosmetic Lounge where she goes to receive lip fillers and other skin treatments. The influencer showed off her new dental and veneer work in October when she attended a beauty brand launch, and confirmed her boob job just months earlier. But more recently, Indy has attracted attention for her sudden weight loss and recent rhinoplasty. Indy, who announced in February she was getting a nose job to remedy an old injury, has had to hit back at trolls who likened her to Michael Jackson in recent months. The TikTok star was criticised for covering her face, like the late pop star, and not showing the aftermath of her cosmetic surgery. 'I have a lot of swelling obviously on the outside, but also internally which is making my nostrils look uneven,' she said. 'It's going down everyday,' she said of the swelling, adding it was 'so much worse' and she's been sleeping with little splints in her nostrils to help the healing. Speaking of her time in the cast, she said it was the 'longest twelve days of her life' but she was happy with her 'super natural' results. Indy posted a video of herself wearing a bandage on her nose as she sat drinking a smoothie in her garden, receiving a comment which read: 'Ok weird - MJ vibes now.' The online personality revealed this week the hate messages about her recent nose job have become so harsh she has hired a private investigator to find her haters. She made the revelation during an Instagram Q&A when one fan asked her: 'Are you doing better? The hate you get online is so unnecessary.' Indy answered she was working hard to make some of the hurtful trolls who have bullied her responsible for their actions. 'The anonymous accounts and the faceless people hiding behind them need to be held accountable,' she began. She added she had contracted a private investigator to help her identify some of the particularly hurtful trolls.
