Quite depressing to realise that, in the 30-odd years I've had a season ticket, we've now been in the bottom division (or Non-League) for about half of that period. Before I got really interested and went intermittently as a kid, we were always a 2nd Division team so it doesn't quite square in my head that we've been a solidly bottom division team (or lower) for half of my life.

I bet your owner wouldn't lend you £3million and then hang on for 50 years [fifty] until he got it back

I really liked Oldham when Joe Royle was there for what seemed forever. They played good football and had some really good players. Graeme Sharp, Dennis Irwin and Andy Ritchie spring to mind.

So seems we are both living in the past. We are now in the same league, so what went before counts for nowt.

I remember going to Oldham in the 60's and found the Oldham fans good northern friendly folk,

We won 4-1 and they said it should have been more,

They told us why your ground was called Boundary Park ,

Should have said go on the Lincoln site you will have a good welcome and a long discussion on who will win the league.

Hope you're excited about your cup final on Saturday and welcoming the biggest club you've seen in years to your gaff.

Expecting 1200 to make the trip over, by far and away the best numbers in the league in terms of distance travelled compared to home support.

Got a bad feeling if I'm totally honest, you've just lost 4-0 at Bury (although a Bury fan at work did say that was harsh on you), you're down towards the bottom of the table, we've had a decent run and have just lost, kind of expecting a 3-0 defeat to really firm us up in mid-table before the start of a more difficult run.

Fingers crossed I'm wrong and we win it 2-1.

Just embrace the moment, it's not often you get a former Premier League Founder in your town ....  


It seems you’re the one who’s getting all excited and as I’m in Oldham all this week it’s easy to see why.... enjoy your big day out in Cleethorpes.

The away end holds 1,800, Lincoln filled it, and you are bringing 1,200, not big at all. I found a video of you with your girlfriend.

Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

I've happy memories of a visit to Boundary Park in 96/97 when we won there 3-0. It was one of a few bright moments of a horrid season which saw both teams relegated from what is now The Championship.

All came good the next season for us though with the Wembley double win. I think that Jack Lester got a quick-fire hat-trick against them in the First Round of The League Cup that season when we hammered them 5-0 at BP.


When you said BP then I read it as our own ground. Yeah.
That was my first ever football game, the First Leg at our place. Won 1-0 IIRC, then had the second leg at yours and lost 5-0.

Lincoln's biggest game is yourselves.

Last season ours were Rochdale and Bury and we took over 3,000 to both. As we'll do again to Bury this time around.

Course, I didn't think of that. After that 5-0 though you did get a bit of revenge as I think that you were the only team to do the double over us in the league on the way to us winning the Play-Offs.
