    It was mentioned that Boston would apply for administration 10 minutes from time to save them from losing 10 points next season.The FL say they will decide when points are deducted.If they refuse Boston the right to lose points now will there be a test case of preferential treatment for Leeds Utd.

    saw this about it

    Boston United’s fate was finally sealed on their day of destiny at Wrexham. And sadly for Pilgrims’ connections it meant relegation back to the Conference after a five-season stint in the Football League. United battled well throughout their trip to face fellow strugglers Wrexham. But despite taking a 39th minute lead through Francis Green, they were pegged back and ultimately overhauled by two late goals as a 3-1 scoreline cemented the Welsh side’s place in League Two. Boston had been battling against the odds for many months, notably with Football League decrees apparently depriving them of financial entitlements and dictating that no new players could be recruited during loan “windows.” Such was the cash-strapped nature of life at the Staffsmart Stadium that players and club officials had gone up to 12 weeks without pay. And despite being backed by more than 600 travelling fans, the trip to the Racecourse Ground ended in heartbreak, sadness, numbness and tears. Moments before the final whistle and with their fate effectively sealed, United officials announced the club had entered into the much-publicised company voluntary agreement—seemingly triggering an instant 10-point deduction that confirmed their demise from League Two but which should mean they enter the no-league fray free of any initial points penalty.
