I know we are not supposed to talk about it and I will wash my mouth out when I have typed this. Apparently The Imps are taking 25000 supporters and Shrewsbury about 9000 to the final. Lincoln set to make over £250000 from the competition. Have they sold their souls? Or have they taken sensible commercial decisions?

Its been suggested that we will make 750k from the Competition.
And yes I believe Freck is on that , Bostwick won't be far off it either.

We've sold 26k now for the final.

So are you saying Pete if we had a team good enough to get to the final you would have been happy for us to be in it.

The clubs collectively decided to enter it. Even the ones who voted against it (possibly Lincoln and Shrews) still have to enter and play games. The managers and players are not going to throw the games, they'll want to win every game because they are competitive and they all want to have a trip to Wembley on their CV.

I think it's a case of had we been good enough to have won some of the chuckaturd games and progressed we would also have been good enough to have won more league games, so our league position would not have been as precarious, might even have been pushing for playoffs, then we would have complained about extra games effecting our promotion push. As for the 26k, well done but it is their first visit, don't forget we took 30k on our first visit but over the years as we visited Wembley more frequently the numbers started to go down.

Lincoln taking almost double to Wembley than the Scunts for their first visit, I think we took 25,000 against MK mongs when we didn't stand a chance of winning it for our 3 or 4th visit, still they are over 5,000 down on what we took for our first visit when this competition was valid. Lincoln express will be full then.
