Lincoln v Chelsea U23

Quoted from towncryer

Oh come on micky, credit where credit's due.
We have the biggest support in this league home and away although notts and cov are trying to overtake us by giving thousands of free tickets away for some of their games.
We currently have 3 times as many fans as you so if we're a small time league 2 Club what does that make you?

Your clubs finished. Fenty is going nowhere and let's face it if he does you'll be gone a lot quicker than the slow death your club is suffering at the moment.
You have nothing , absolutely nothing to offer any potential investors. John would have literally give the club away to get anyone within 10 miles of cleethorpes and is he going to do that ??? Is he heck. He's put to much in to pull out now. Your stuck with him and he's a dinosaur and your only going one way. The only hope you have got is that when Slade does eventually go that somehow and by some miracle John gets the right manager in but what's the chances of that ???
Good luck to you cos your going to need it with him at the helm but you can have as many demo's as you like, he ain't going nowhere and there's no one out there to save you.

Quoted from Impish2

Our chairman got the SA investor on board who got the right manager in. Though it's not only about the Cowleys. Clive Nates has also helped attract a lot of decent people into the club, they have brought in business acumen and forward thinking with aims to improve things on and off the pitch and help galvanise the club .  We were down to the barest of bones staff and board member wise, apathy amongst the fans and a terrible feeling of stagnation and resignation to our fate.

The last 18 months have been a minor miracle, it probably won't last and the bubble will burst to a degree at some point. Even if/when the Cowleys move on though I expect the infrastructure will be in place that keeps the club at a much healthier place than previously.

A good sensible post from an Imp and whatever the circumstances of the checkatwat glad an U23 team never made the final.The competition was for lower league players and fans to experience Wembley.Good Luck

Quoted from RoboCod

You've not posted here since September, usual brave fan, wait until something goes right until you stick your head above the parapet. Just like two 3rds of your 'crowd'' - no interest until the going gets good and there's something to gloat about.
I'm sure the historic game against Chelsea under 23's [ ]will be passed down into your (rather limited) footballing folklore.

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56

Crowley’s are going nowhere at present in process of moving from a rental house paid for by the club to nice £500k village retreat, and their goal is to get Lincoln into the Championship and with the money they are generating it could happen, which will make my visits to the local increasingly unbeatable,

Personally I could see Hurst going to Barnsley as would have thought the geographical location would be perfect for him and he always was getting loan players from them so must be a good relationship already in place.

Quoted from towncryer

I only posted on here because of the stick some of the contributors were coming out with on here.
I'm not a fan of the completion and didn't attend our group game against Everton simply because I wasn't interested in watching them. We all know that the closer a Wembley Final gets, and don't forget we have never played there before, the more intrest is going to be generated. You would have had exactly the same when you got to the Final.
And yes, to answer Micky at the same time, when the Cowleys do leave things may level out again, who knows but you have to live in the moment and savour it and that's exactly what we're doing.
I don't wish town any ill harm but the whole of your club seems to be living in the past and unless someone sorts it ,it has no future.
