Boston United's Old Floodlights Removed for Community Centre
Boston United's old floodlights have been removed to make way for a £24.9m community diagnostic centre. The project holds a special meaning for the company responsible, ECIS, due to its connection to the club's history.
What Happened?
The floodlights at Boston United's old ground, York Street, were removed at the end of last month. The removal was carried out by Lincolnshire business ECIS, which has extensive experience in delivering specialist access solutions and working on major National Grid projects across the UK.
Why it Matters for Boston United
Kieron Major, ECIS managing director, has a personal connection to the project. He played for Boston United Juniors at the old Peter Paine training ground and was fortunate enough to play in a cup final on the York Street pitch. He also spent many match nights at York Street with his Grandad, who lived in Mareham le Fen and had played at York Street many years ago while representing Mareham le Fen.
What Comes Next?
ECIS will donate £250 to the Boston United Foundation and will also offer the club a discounted installation of a commercial solar energy system to help support the club's future sustainability. The company's commitment to giving something back to the community is evident in its actions.
Boston United is currently 12th in the National League, having scored 63 goals and conceded 67 (-4 goal difference) this season. The team is 49 points behind leaders York and has been on a 4-game winning run, with their last result being a 3-1 win over Hartlepool on April 25, 2026. Their recent form has been impressive, with 4 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 games.
The removal of the floodlights marks the beginning of a new chapter for York Street, which is being cleared to make way for the community diagnostic centre. The project is a significant development for the local community, and ECIS is proud to be a part of it.
Conclusion
The removal of Boston United's old floodlights is a significant event that holds a special meaning for the company responsible, ECIS. The project is a testament to the company's commitment to giving something back to the community and its connection to the club's history. Boston United's old ground, York Street, is being cleared to make way for a £24.9m community diagnostic centre, and the removal of the floodlights marks the beginning of a new chapter for the site.
