Quoted from Grantham_Mariner


I think they are getting carried away with their first good season in many a year. That said there is massive investment taking place in Lincoln at present, mainly stimulated via the University, but this new ground is linked to 3500 new homes and unlike Grimsby will have the full backing of the Council from day one. The place is growing and their football club is getting good investment but have to say their signings to date, on paper, are not setting the world alight and it looks like they will play with two big guys up top. Hopefully, this feel good factor will soon disappear and its painful to live with over here.

It will be far too big when the Cowleys up sticks and move on.

Maybe Getyourfactsright would like to update us on the latest regarding PP.

The new ground has been planned for at least 5 years, nothing to do with our promotion so the one good season remark is wrong.  The board would be in the same situation if we were still back in the NL with or without the Cowleys. As for the capacity, our chairman reckons it's not much difference having 12k as it is having 15k cost wise so the overall capacity could be different to that piece.

So these two big guys up top, you wouldn't want Matt Green or Ollie Palmer then? Am sure we can cope with Billy Knott too, how can any new player set the world alight before a ball is even kicked?

I do agree with some of the other posters on the fishy though, there are nearly as many posts about Lincoln than about yourselves, I thought we were the ones supposed to be obsessed  .

We had Palmer, he was o.k. in the NL but has had more clubs than Rory McIlroy in the FL which would suggested he's a bit inconsistent or just not that good enough at a higher level. If memory serves me right for a big lad he's not great in the air but has decent feet, so he might be a bit under utilised if you continue the lump it up/in approach. Green has had a scoring average of 1 in 3 with one great and on one good season in a 10 year senior career, clearly RS thinks we could do better.
