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. Lovely city, horrible biscuits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Get to see Anthony Scully play against us. Always liked him as a player, started the season off pretty well as well, 3 goals 2 assists in 6 games League & Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan, he would complement our side rather nicely I but it does look like he's Sunderland bound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is well worth a visit but get yourself fit before visiting the Cathedral. It's at the top of Steep Hill and the name is not ironic.

No disrespect to Lincoln, but win this and we're in the last 16, favourable draw and we're talking quarter-final again. They took 135 to Barrow in the last round, much bigger following here I would think. also, noticed they still have Hakeeb Adelakun, never lived up to his potential here. Just noticed he's gone on loan to Gillingham, so not impressing the Imps either it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 I was also disappointed in not having a reason to visit Lincoln again, I really like it especially up around castle and the steep hills leading up to it. 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.

The only place I don't like over there is Boston, the coastal towns are pretty good, even the much maligned "Skeggy" is better than some of the other tourist destinations around the country. We have considered moving there if our finances can't sustain us through early retirement, we could buy something in a lakeside position for around 50% of what we could achieve for our place in Portishead.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) What's Gainsborough like- never been to Lincolnshire so can't comment but a chap where I used to work, security guy is from that neck of the woods. Small aside, until a couple of years ago- maybe 4 or 5 years ago, he told me that through varied quirks of fate, divisional reorganisations etc they had never been relegated..which is some stat.

Yeah trust me mate you can get a lot of house for your money and my father in law moved from a lovely village in Essex to go to Lincolnshire and his house is great but found it very dull, flat, full of long soulless drives- we went to Skegness while their, not my cup of tea but can see why it would be popular. Lincoln was a really stunning city though, we were their during uni graduations and walked up that killer hill to the cathedral and it was great to see the students celebrating.

W-S-M Seagull Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Make it a tenner and I'll go. Should probably put out a pretty strong team with only 1 game after that before the break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliOTIB Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 You already know it will be £25 for an adult in the South. Remember Fulham in the cup last year? Expect an empty Gate again if thats the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were relegated for the first time in their history in 2017-18. It’s a remarkable stat for a former league club. Until then they’d only ever changed divisions as a result of not being re-elected, or divisional reorganisations within the non-league pyramid.

Really- I thought they were briefly in the Second Division before being relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
