GrahamC Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Been posted elsewhere that apparently we haven’t played them since 1986, so that would be right!

Robbored Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Ive always had a soft spot for Lincoln City. We used to visit there when I was growing up and my paternal g’dad took me to Sincil Bank in the late 60s against Bradford Park Avenue - now defunct of course. Lincoln is a lovely and wonderful City and if you’ve never been there I thoroughly recommend a visit. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to watch them on Friday nights when John Ward was banging them in, I think they scored 100 goals or so that season with Graham Taylor manager. Also met the Lincoln management around 2016 (including Jamie McCombe) when they were on pre-season in Portugal, stayed at the same place. So got a bit of a soft spot for them and will definitely go to the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I always wonder though is how much time is lost by the residents in a day, having to wait for the trains that cut right through the high street. Most odd.
