Oh the irony! Lincoln could actually benefit us in going up  


Lincoln did the double over Barnet

Quoted from BIGChris
Football at our level and probably the next level or two above isn't a viable banking proposition as Lincoln have found. The Co-Op want repayment and despite touting the business around no other banks are interested. Banks will still finance sustainable, profitable businesses but football clubs simply don't fall into that category.  Non predictable cash flow with small chance of repaying loans unless, to quote a certain gent, they get football fortune. Unfortunately fortune isn't an acceptable proposition to the banks.

Sad reflection of the football world when there is so much money at the top level with players being paid such substantial sums and agents and even the chairman of the PFA taking obscene amounts from the game.

Should there be a more even distribution of wealth or is it the survival of the fittest like in the animal kingdom?


The thing is with the animal kingdom, if the "weakest" at the bottom of the food chain die out, so do those at the top. Or put another way, a parasite does not kill its host.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

The club says it is going nowhere.

Unfortunate wording,

They would survive the season anyway so points dropped don't come into it but it does sound desperate

Lincoln will just have to restructure. I suspect they will become part time and be stuck down here for decades possible dropping down into the Conference North.

Bob Dorrian said in 2010 that he had a five year plan to get Lincoln to the Championship (they were in League Two then). I feel sorry for Lincoln fans. No fan of any club, especially at our level, should have no team to support. That's how bad the situation at Lincoln is, though. We bemoan Fenty but Christ at least we still have the hope that Town will continue to be a football club as we know it.


We've got Jason Pearcey, number one, we've got the best team in the land...

Lincoln City also asked for our beloved majority shareholders opinion on how to remain in the football league...they went down that year.

Every club is in state like that at our level. The difference is it often doesn't come in a hammer blow like what has happened at Lincoln. They'll pull through but it shouldn't be such a surprise that a restructuring is needed. It was know last year that players were chipping in of buses etc for away games and they have notoriously always been poor wage payers.

Don't forget all the issues within their supporters trust too, couple that with poor attendances and its a difficult time for them but I still see them pulling through.

Kind of funny though that the day after some of their fans called Alfreton tinpot, the league tinpot etc that this comes out...


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

Amen.
