Two coachloads will set off for Worcester at the weekend for one of Boston Town’s biggest cup ties in recent years.
They travel to Hellenic League promotion favourites Worcester City on Saturday (2 December) in the 3rd round of the FA Vase.
A big Poachers contingent will be hoping to cheer their team on to the last 32 of the competition for only the 3rd time in their history.
Worcester City are one of the best-supported clubs at this level of football and are expecting a bumper crowd of around 700.
It could be the biggest attendance Boston Town have played in front of since an FA Cup tie at King’s Lynn in 1995 attracted more than 1,100 spectators.
But make no mistake, Town will be firm underdogs against a side who are flying high this season and have already dumped Sleaford Town and Sherwood Colliery out of the competition. Worcester had won 11 league games in a row until being held to a 1-1 draw at the weekend.
They also have an formidable giantkilling pedigree in the FA Cup, having knocked out Coventry City as recently as 2014-15.
Worcester are 5th favourites to lift the trophy at 14-1 with BetVictor. Lincoln United are 20-1 joint 7th favourites to win the competition, while Boston Town are priced at 40-1.
Worcester’s dominant form this season is in stark contrast to Boston’s struggles on the road – but Martyn Bunce’s side know they can match anyone at this level if they raise their game.

I’m thinking now🤔🤔, what was the attendance for the Semi final replay at Tattershall Road in 1994 against Taunton? Was packed all round the ground that day.
