Lincoln have got lucky with a once in a century (literally) FA Cup run
They also got lucky with the Cowley appt - as GTFC did in the late 80s with Buckley
GTFC were going out of the FL at that time - two successive relegations and were 4th from bottom at one point in Div 4 (I know cos I was on holiday and it was days when you had to wait two days to get the results or face a bloody expensive phone call home!)
LCFC (IMO) were heading for the Conf North before Cowleys - excrement crowds, excrement teams, excrement managers
Having said all of that...LCFC have cashed in, invested wisely and brought in some quality players to add to an already very good squad for L2
I work in Lincoln and you can tell it's a booming city - this often goes hand in hand with football success; at one time in past few years I read Bournemouth was fastest growing town/city in Europe... and they aren't doing badly
Lincoln and Bournemouth are (historically) 'nothing' football teams but GTFC's history counts for 'nothing' now sadly - we are one of several poor relations and just have to get on with it until we 'get lucky' again, primarily a major investor
I think Lincoln's 'crossroads' will be
a) if/when they lose Cowley - every manager has a price and if Lincoln rip league up, within 10/15 games the sackings will have started elsewhere and L1/Championship clubs must come knocking surely? Any manager with an ounce of ambition would leave Lincoln
b) their ability to get a new stadium - as long as they remain at Sincil Bank they will always be a small club punching above their weight
If they get a new stadium they could be a new Wigan/MK Dons/Scunny
Good post, the new stadium has already been highlighted in the new Western Growth corridor close to the A46, as part of a sporting village. Our new chairman was talking about it the other day, saying it was an absolute must. |

I actually don't like it, or Rheads behaviour, I found it embarrassing. I am glad he is on the bench and has played about 10 minutes this season so far. |

I can't imagine many/any Grimsby fans wasting their time obsessively sitting on the Lincoln Vital board putting everyone right.

As a matter of interest how do you know it's full of students?
I live in Lincoln, as you'd know had you been posting on The Fishy BC (before Cowley) |

Oh Christ... the 'irony' thing. Moved here because my future wife lived here about 18 years ago. I'm self-employed, my 2 daughters/son in law all in pretty crappy jobs and thoroughly drunk off with the Lincoln jobs scene, 'boom'and all, my wife works in the hell that is modern schooling, so we're all saving our pennies to make a huge family move to the coast. But yeah, sit on this board all day and boast about boom towns and being higher in League 2 than Town, and I'll continue thinking it's all pretty weird of you. |

Exactly. This is apparently their most successful period...and it’s one of our worst. But we’re in the same league.
If you check the records you will find that Lincoln had several seasons in the 50's at Championship level. In fact since 1945 Lincoln, Scunthorpe and Grimsby have all yo-yoed through the leagues although town are the only one of the three to experience the top tier and that ended in 1948. |

How is Lincoln even a fast growing city I was there last week and It didn’t look at all any bigger, it’s still really just a little town with a cathedral. As for mass investment all the building work I’ve seen is for student flats that looks as though they’ve all been built on the cheap.
The little town centre is not big enough for all these students who want to drive on their own resulting in the roads constantly gridlocked.
