Boston United shuttle buses will be in operation ahead of Saturday's pre-season friendly against Grimsby Town.

The cost is £1.50 each way, with Cropley Coaches picking up outside the Len Medlock Voluntary Centre on St George's Road at the following times:

12.00pm
12.45pm
1.30pm
2.15pm

Each bus will also subsequently pick up outside Boots in the Market Place and outside the Quayside Hotel on London Road.

Coaches will return to the Len Medlock Voluntary Centre at:

5.00pm
5.45pm

Mariners fans, in particular, are advised to use the shuttle bus as parking at the Community Stadium is limited. There is a pay and display car park on St George's Road, adjacent to the Len Medlock Voluntary Centre, for people using the shuttle bus service.

The coach point outside Ellenders bar and restaurant at the stadium to be utilised for arrival and departure.

All timings are approximate and will depend on traffic conditions on the route.

IMPORTANT
To help reduce the potential spread of the Covid-19 virus, face coverings MUST be worn on the shuttle bus.

As all the parking spaces are not yet available at the new Jakemans Community Stadium due to ongoing construction works, we would ask as many people as possible to use this service, or consider one of the alternative means of accessing the stadium…

ON FOOT
There are a network of footpaths from the town to the stadium, although those using the footpath will have to cross the A16 via the crossing points.

CYCLE
Cycle racks are available either end of the Acorn Taxis (West) Stand, with all cycles left at the owner's risk.

TAXI
Club partners Acorn Taxis are offering deals for supporters travelling to and from the Jakemans Community Stadium.

Departing from their office in the bus station, the cost for journeys to and from the stadium would be £6 (each way) per car and £10 (each way) per minibus.

You can book an Acorn Taxi by calling (01205) 358358. Please book well in advance.

BUS SERVICES
Brylaine bus services B13 and K58 serve The Quadrant. Further details can be found on the Brylaine website (here) – please note: "The Quadrant" is not listed on the two Brylaine schedules, but we are informed that they drop off and pick up on Wallace Way (on The Quadrant).

Stagecoach, meanwhile, operate bus 57 between Boston and Spalding. It stops in The Quadrant, near to Starbucks, and services people travelling between Boston and Spalding bus stations. For full details, click here.

CAR SHARING
We would ask as many people as possible to consider car sharing to not only help with parking at the stadium, but also to help reduce the travel carbon footprint. For car sharing, however, we would also recommend that face coverings are worn – and the vehicle is well ventilated.

PARKING ARRANGEMENTS
Parking will be available at £3 per car on a first come, first served basis. The club would ask that supporters have the correct change ready – although contactless payments will be accepted too.

It is anticipated that car parking will almost exclusively be for sponsors, club guests and car park season pass holders when the National League North campaign gets under way against Spennymoor Town on Saturday August 14.

Further car park season passes will be released for sale in due course.

If parking near the stadium, please consider those living in the area. Car Park 4 will become available following completion of construction works at the Community Stadium.
