Boston Players Remain Unpaid

Boston's players remain unpaid for March after a promise that the outstanding money would be paid on Tuesday was left unfulfilled.

"No, the wages haven't been paid to the players - and the staff are in the same boat," manager Steve Evans told the local press."As for why, you'll have to ask the chairman (Jim Rodwell)."

Boston's wafer thin squad will be further depleted with the news that Barnsley forward Nathan Joynes will leave the squad after the two Easter games, with the club unable to afford his wages any longer. Boston will travel to Edgar Street next weekend with just 11 professionals and two or three youth team players:

"He's going to leave - we've got no option because we cannot afford him. That's what I've been told by the chairman and it will leave us with only 11 fit professionals.

"Young players like Jamie Stevens and Adam Rowntree have come into the side when they're not ready and that's where we must look to fill up the squad. But we're taking players from a youth side third from bottom of their league, so they really shouldn't be playing. We're fighting against huge tides and lightning, hoping to produce a miracle."
