BOSTON UNITED manager Steve Evans believes Saturday's arrival of Chester City will signal the biggest game in the club's history, but says: "We're going to go for it."

With just three games left of the League Two season Boston United sit in the relegation zone, knowing their fate will come down to what happens over the next 270 minutes of action.

The odds currently look to be stacked against United.

The players have not been paid for the last month and Monday's pay-cheque seems to be on hold, while a threadbare squad, wracked by injury woes, will again be supplemented by youth team players with little or no Football League experience.

However, Evans reckons there is still a real belief that his side will avoid the drop.

He said: "There are three games left this season and, probably, we'll have to win all three.

"However, we're going to go for it. We have to; this is the biggest game in the club's history.

"We decided to go all-out against Macclesfield and we won that one 4-1. Now we have to do that all again."

The major factor in Boston's drubbing of Macc last Monday appeared to be the crowd, which spurred the Pilgrims on to victory.

Back then David Galbraith, the Boston midfielder, said: "It's great to hear the supporters getting behind you.

"It gives you a real lift and makes you want to win even more."

United will be hoping for more of a vocal following on Saturday (ko 3pm), although victory over Chester will not be easy.

Evans laughed off speculation that he may begin next season in the Blues' hot seat, but did say that he and Chester chairman Stephen Vaughan have a 'great relationship.'

It is a relationship that has seen United pick up leading scorer Drewe Broughton on loan from the Cheshire club, plus Stephen Vaughan (the chairman's son) on a permanent contract. They have even recalled Brad Maylett from a loan at Chester due to player unavailabilities.

However, the former two will miss this contest as Vaughan is injured and Broughton is unable to play due to a clause in the loan deal.

But any thought of Chester doing Boston a favour, and in the meantime helping the Pilgrims to possibly relegate their arch-rivals Wrexham, would be quickly dismissed – especially as Blues manager Mark Wright and Evans are less than good friends.

"We can't expect any favours from Chester," Evans continued. "They are a professional club and want to win every match, just as we do.

"I have a great relationship with their chairman, Stephen Vaughan, and it is no secret I have no time for Mark Wright, but nothing would give me more pleasure than to shake both their hands knowing we've won three points and taken a step closer to survival."

Stewart Talbot and Jamie Stevens are among this week's walking wounded and, it seems, more teenagers will be drafted in from the youth team to boost the Pilgrims' squad.

* United have this week been hit with the news that entering into a Company Voluntary Agreement is seen, in the eyes of the Football Association, as the same as going into administration. This would suggest the Pilgrims will begin next season on minus 10 points, whichever division they are in.
