 Ellender says the strike talk was an "error of judgement" |
Boston captain Paul Ellender has apologised on behalf of the team after admitting talk of strike action had distracted them from the task in hand. The players were angry about not being paid and subsequently lost 4-0 to fellow strugglers Rochdale, but the club said they will be paid on Tuesday.
"The players talked about strike action on Friday," Ellender told the club's official website.
"We now appreciate it was ill-timed and was an error of judgment on our part."
Boston announced on Friday that the players would receive their wages for December on Tuesday.
"These are worrying times for all the players and staff, especially around Christmas,"said Ellender.
"But we should have prepared properly for the Rochdale game by focusing solely on the match in hand.
"In hindsight, we let that talk get the better of our preparations, considering we were told very early last Friday that we would be getting paid on 2 January."
