Evans calls in the Police

It can't be much fun being the manager of Boston when your family receives threatening phone calls.

Steve Evans had to call police after members of his family received verbal threats.

After the recent court case Evans admitted to Boston Today that he expected some backlash but he said verbal attacks on his family are a step too far.

"I asked fans to judge me on results and we are still in the process of getting things right on the pitch.

"I can see why some people want to have a go at me. It happened to Neil Thompson, it happened to Greg Fee and it happens to other managers who aren't at Boston United.

"But my wife and daughters have nothing to do with football.

"The police are confident that this will go to court."

Evans is currently in trouble with BBC Radio Lincolnshire after he called one of their reporters a 'numpty'.

Posters saying 'Evans is a numpty' have appeared in Boston and at the clubs ticket office.

Boston had their first away win this season last Saturday.

"The lads were magnificent on Saturday and we need more of the same this weekend against a very good Hereford side," said Evans.

"They've bought well and performed well. We all need to stick together to get a result."

Meanwhile Chester City have allowed Boston to keep Drewe Broughton for another month, following a request from the Lincolnshire club.
