Memorabilia from Boston United's York Street stadium has raised more than £10,000 at auction.

The Pilgrims put items from their ground on ebay, allowing fans to bid for their own pieces of club history as the Pilgrims prepares to move to the under-construction Jakemans Community Stadium.

The item receiving the highest big was the Jakemans Stadium sign which welcomed fans to the ground, fetching £637.

The club crest which was the centrepoint of the Town End display was bought for £560 - while the most eyecatching deal was arguably a toilet sign featuring two club badges, which cost one punter £295.

Other items up for sale included the boardroom table (£266), programme kiosk (£360.53), the manager's chair (£245) and a raffle drum (£165).

In total, more than £10,200 was raised from more than 70 lots.

More items are expected to go up for auction after the play-offs have concluded.
