Yes they did but according to their chairman the other day most of that money will be to stop them going bankrupt and ground improvements rather than being splashed on players.


They are also splashing out on x-ray equipment at the away turnstiles

We are not going to be paying a fee and dishing out a 2 year contract on someone who is unlikely to move to NE Lincs. He will end up south of the Watford Gap

No disrespect to either ourselves or Lincoln but I would have thought that he would prefer to stay down South, we shall see

I seem to remember that Paul Hurst was trying to sign him from Alfreton before he signed for Barnet in 2014.

It would have been interesting to see how our fortunes would have fared if he had come. He scored a 31 goals for Barnet the season they won the Conference and clearly made the difference to their prospects.

Who knows, with such fire power in our side we might have gone up as champions in 2015 instead of them??

Possibly, but that was also the season the Shop got a good haul of goals.

It was. And I'm taking nothing away from LJL who scored 20 goals overall I think, but had Akinde or someone like Podge had the chances he had over that season, they could've hit 40.

Good point. And I've never been one to exaggerate the goalscoring ability of the Shop.

He scored 16 league goals which wasn't bad, but Akinde scored 31.
