In the 4th part of our build up to the game on boxing day, we interview life-long Boston fan, George Wise. In this interview, his gives his honest opinions on Boston, Lincoln and other points of football. GEORGE, PLEASE GIVE A BRIEF STATEMENT OF HOW YOU FEEL BOSTON UNITED'S SEASON IS GOING SO FAR

  • I feel that our season is starting to go downhill after a promising start. At the beginning of the season, we weren't doing brilliantly but we weren't doing too bad either. We even managed to be ahead of Lincoln City in the table for the first few weeks of the season which to be quite honest, suprised a lot of Boston fans. Over recent weeks however, our results have been a little flat and a loss to Lincoln on Friday could leave us 3 points above the relegation zone if other results go badly.
    HOW WELL DO YOU THINK LINCOLN ARE DOING THIS SEASON?
  • I have seen Lincoln play on a few occassions so far this season and each time they have really impressed me. The quality of play has vastly improved and they look like scoring a lot more goals than last season although the defence seems a little less "tight". Your best player is Richard Butcher as he contains skill that is far beyond this Division.
    PREDICTION FOR BOXING DAY
  • I would be lying if I said I was extremely confident about our chances. I read somewhere that Lincoln have only lost 13 games this calender year and that is phenominal and there are very few teams in the Division or even the country that could boast that sort of record. Lincoln and Boston are 2 totally contrasting teams with the latter being shy up front whilst being over generous at the back, the complete opposite to the former. I think a draw is the best Boston fans could hope for. I would however, unfortunatly have to go for a 2-0 win for Lincoln.
    PREDICTION FOR PROMOTION AND RELEGATION
  • This is a tough one with so many teams either doing so well or so badly. Going down I would say Carlisle and Darlington. Going up is so hard to call due to the vast amount of teams doing so well. I would go for Yeovil as champions with Oxford and Doncaster going up automatically. Lincoln, Mansfield, Scunny and Huddersfield in the playoffs. Lincoln and Scunny to get to the final with the Imps emerging from Cardiff as a Division 2 side after thrashing their local rivals.
