Gloucester City visit the Jakemans Community Stadium for the club's final home game of the National League North season on Monday (KO 3pm), before next weekend's finale at Farsley Celtic.

More than 1,800 supporters have watched the club's last two matches down Pilgrim Way as Boston continue to try to claim a play-off spot.

But in a season packed with plenty of frustrations and too many below-par performances, the home attendance for league fixtures never dipped below 1,300.

Now Cox is hoping to repay that loyalty.

"The fans have been brilliant," the manager said.

"They come out in their droves and they've stuck by us.

"The support's been excellent home and away and I'm really humbled by the messages we've had and support we've been given.

Cox made the switch from Kettering Town to Boston in January following the departure of former boss Craig Elliott.

His exit from Latimer Park did not go down well with Poppies fans, who let their anger be known by waving inflatable snakes from the away end during the Pilgrims' 3-2 victory in March.
