GrahamC Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but they’re big in Gibraltar. Perpetual league champions over there Lincoln Red Imps were named after them by a fan who had emigrated. Only been to Lincoln to watch us play once, it was one of the last two (both were 1-1 draws in ‘85 so I can’t remember which), it was surprisingly “lively” off the pitch, they certainly had a few who fancied it.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they have ever arranged a pre season friendly? That would be a good away day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few places like that around that time probably due to the fact that City had quite a reputation off the field back then and we were quite a big draw for certain types. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Credit where it's due there, sensible prices that should hopefully bring a strong attendance. Notice the £5 for U19s, decent what with inflation I remember quid a kid in LDV Vans etc in past. Quite cheap season tickets too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Tbf - Lincoln are not particularly attractive opposition and the club have set the prices accordingly. Had the fixture been against a PL club the prices would reflected that. That said - I’ll definitely be going as the Imps are a favourite lower league club of mine. I hope they get promotion to the Championship sooner rather than later - I’d love a trip to Sincil Bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They moved on from the Football Alliance to become founder members of the Football League Second Division in 1892, remaining there until they failed re-election in 1908. They won immediate re-election after winning the next year's Midland League, and would repeat this feat after failing re-election again in 1911 and 1920. Founder members of the Football League Third Division North in 1921, they won promotion as champions in 1931–32, but were relegated two seasons later. Crowned Third Division North champions again in 1947–48, they were relegated the next year, but would remain in the second tier for nine seasons after again winning the Third Division North title in 1951–52.

Betty Swallocks Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 On 25/08/2022 at 23:05, North London Red said: 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. They got relegated in the 80’s, 90’s & 2011 before 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoln did, Gainsborough Trinity are the team being talked about as never relegated until then. Had me confused for a while. P. S. Weston were similar, their relegation from National League South a couple of season's back was the first in their history.
