Skysports.com has learnt that Boston United's plans to play their final home game of the season at Peterborough United's London Road have been rejected.
Posh managing director Barry Fry has confirmed that Peterborough's holding company have thrown out plans to help their near neighbours.
Boston face being locked out of their York Street ground this Thursday when eviction proceedings are heard in court.
"Boston don't even know themselves yet and I am hugely disappointed that this hasn't been allowed to happen," Fry exclusively told skysports.com.
"We first started discussions ten days ago and I've been going round the houses getting permission from the police, safety officers, doctors, and crucially the Football League.
"But I've just heard the holding company have blocked it for reasons I cannot even fathom and I'm left gob smacked by it."
If Boston are unable to hold their game against relegated Torquay United on Saturday, they face the very real threat of having their records expunged and the club will fold.
"In this day and age football people have got to help out other football people," Fry (pictured) continued.
"It doesn't matter if it's Macclesfield or Accrington Stanley, if anyone was in trouble and I could help out I would, and I can't believe these plans have been blocked.
"You can't help but fear for the future of Boston United now."
Be a nice touch if a close premier league club allowed them to play there.Never happen though
Does not look good does it

Sonic even though I hold no respect for Boston I would never like to see anyone club go out of business, ok maybe Franchise. Fair play to Fry for trying to sort this

Fair play to Barry Fry. I don't understand the attitude of the Holding Company. What could their objections possibly be?  |

Would change the league a bit....
Hartlepool - Win, Win = - 6 Points
Walsall = Draw, Draw = -2 Points
Swindon = Win, Draw = -4 Points
Franchise = Win, Win = -6 Points
Lincoln = Loss, Win = 3 Points
Walsall would win the league, Hartlepool 2nd, Swindon 3rd, Franchise/Lincoln 4th.

So if Boston do fold will those points be taken off from the current table?

That's normal protocal if non league teams are anything to go by - the official line is 'results expunged'.

I suspect they will hang on to the end of the season and slide into administration and probably look to groundshare for next season if they get booted out.
You have to feel sorry for the fans though get booted in the nuts with the club getting into financial sh!t and then to get -10 points condeming them to relegation next season.
