Why stars ?  

We are Town. We should have fish symbols. Like the ones on the crest.

And while we’re grasping at straws. Can we have one for each time we’ve won the Lincs  cup ?!

That Vince bloke is going to look like a right helmet when they finish 16th, with stars all over his neck the div. They are a glorified pub team playing at least four divisions above their natural level, the only players they will be able to attract will be mercenaries and they will pay through the nose for them.

Just been on radio 4. I missed it but even more prime publicity for them. I think it’s fair to say the gimmick has worked commercially.

19 stars - one for the league group trophy we won against wimbledon (I think) back in the eighties. Musn't forget that triumph!

Was that the Freight Rover Trophy? My memory is telling me that the final was at Blundell Park and we won 6-3.
The grey cells are failing me though

Didn’t we win something called the Inter Toto Cup, or similar, in the early 80’s? Might have been the Wimbledon thing. Seem to remember us playing one or two Italian teams in it?

Memory is shocking though to be fair. Alcohol has done for that over the years.

That 6-3 game was an away league game a couple of season. We were 1-0 down, then 6-1 up IIRC.

As Nige said, the Group Cup Final was at BP and we won it 3-2.

Do we get a star for winning the Ibiza cup in the late 90’s?

Was it in one of those games where their goalkeeper scored against Malcolm White our goalie or am I thinking of an earlier match ?

It showed at the end of last season when we destroyed them at their place. Their players were already on their holidays and didn't care about playing for the club and fans to show their appreciation. We learned in the past how a team of mercenaries can really screw things up but buying your way out of the division works well when it does work out. As soon as things don't go well they'll stop caring though because they can just move on to the next pay cheque.
