A dispersal order has been issued ahead of Boston United's home game against Scunthorpe United on Saturday.

Lincolnshire Police said the order runs from 10:00 until 22:00 GMT and covers the Jakemans Community Stadium and a large part of the town.

Officers said the order was authorised following concerns that some people may be planning to cause disruption.

The order gives police the power to order people to leave an area if they are, or are likely to engage in behaviour such as harassment, crime or disorder.

Kick off for the National League fixture is at 17:30 GMT.
