In a especially long build up to the Boston United vs Lincoln City game on Boxing Day, we start looking at the predictions of fans of both teams. In their are a few suprise statements including a BOSTON fan prediciting an Imps win.
BOSTON UNITED FANS
Name : "Pulcinello".
How long have you been supporting Boston? : If by that you mean "attending on a fairly regular basis", since 9th December 1992.
How many games do you go to a season? : Not as many as I'd like, due to being based abroad for much of the time. Last season I managed to get to 14 matches, but this season I've managed only 3 (plus 1 pre-season friendly).
In your opinion, who is your "best" player? : Neil Redfearn
Best result so far this season : Boston United 4 Torquay United 0.
Worst result so far this season : Darlington 3 Boston United 0.
Which game are you most looking forward to? : Lincoln City at Sincil Bank.
Favourite stadium in D3 (other than your own): The old Boothferry Park -- as it used to be in the 1960s.
Least favourite stadium in D3: Glanford Park, Scunthorpe.
Opinion on the Imps (not swearing please): A good hard side by Division 3 standards (I've already seen them a couple of times this season). Not at all "long ball specialists"; there's a fair bit of subtlety there too. I expect them to finish at least in a play-off spot: they might do even better than that and get automatic promotion, though I think a lot will depend on how quickly Keith Alexander manages to get back to work.
Prediction of the score against the Imps: Boston United 0 Lincoln City 2 (hurts me to say that!).
How would you react if you win?: Overjoyed.
How would you react if you lose?: One defeat doesn't spoil a season (well, not at this stage, anyway!), and strange as it might seem, I'd back Boston to get at least a draw up at your place.
Name : Scotty Walds

Opinion on the Pilgrims (not swearing please): I have no personal problems with Boston despite of one of the Lincoln City supporter's coaches being on of their fans. Be nice to get some revenge after last season.
Prediction of the score against the Imps: Erm, Boston have an excellent home record but that's thrown out of the window becuase of the local derby element, I'd say a score draw.
