The only positive that we can take from the game today, is the fact that we don’t have an air raid siren play every time we have a corner.

Looks like either we’ll get relegated and/or they might get promoted, so we might not have to endure that again anytime soon.

I know it’s an overused phrase but....the game has gone!

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

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

If you thought that was embarrassing, that is by far the worst stadium announcer I’ve ever heard!

Your poor old Gran must think the war is still on going if she lives near the bombing range down Friskney marsh.

Worse than the bloke who sounds like a trainspotter at Braintree?


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.

Result aside, because Lincoln would have beaten us today regardless; that air raid siren is chronic.

I’m glad I don’t have to listen to that at every home game.

The irony of it is that the 617 dambusters, and all of the other squadrons in Lincolnshire, were the bombers not the bombed. You only heard the sirens in the war because you was those being bombed

Totally wrong, all airfields were Luftwaffe targets and every airfield, Village and Town had air raid sirens.
Scampton was bombed a few times and a returning bomber was even followed home by a German fighter and shot down a few miles from Scampton with the loss of all aircrew.
It's good to see the many memorials at the various small and now unused airfields and one of note is RAF Lisset between Driffield and Bridlington in memorial to 158 Squadron.
There is a huge metal cut out of Aircrew which looks almost cartoon like with the sun behind, the Airfield itself has been turned into a wind farm but with each of the turbines named in honour of a lost bomber and crew with the final one in memory of the ground crew that died in bombing raids.
Thought provoking stuff.
Football rivalry is good and should never be watered down but I love their nod to the local heroes who flew from Scampton and all other RAF bases across Britain.
May they never be forgotten.

Anyone else think that banner was really tinpot? Made by people who haven’t felt pain in football yet.
