Quoted from AndyDarloFC

Does our 4 league demotion count? That was grim, going from playing the likes of Wrexham away to bloody Whitley Bay.


If you're allowing that then Wimbledon went down 7 divisions from the 2nd tier (what is now the Championship) to the Combined Counties League.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

It’s a terrible position to be in remember our 1st game  2,200 with about 80 away fans we lost so much support around 2,000 deserted.
It really hit home then how much of a struggle it would be 5 years in fact.

Out of interest Helgy when was the last time your support was anywhere near the current level? I have memories of you not selling out your home end for a lot of the Lincolnshire derbies.

Matters not a jot, their crowds are larger than ours, league positions say their team and manager are more successful than ours, we are poles apart atm, they are going North whilst we are sailing South UTM

I don't care how many fans Lincoln have - more bothered about the 21 place difference in the table.

Their finances are larger than ours as well, don’t lose sight of that, people say you can’t buy success but it definitely helps if you’ve got money.......... as well as ambition.

We appar to have neither at the moment!

I remember early 80s when GT was in charge and I hoped that Lincoln might get promoted up to the second tier and play us... there would have been some good attendances then I'm sure

Never happened of course and I doubt we will ever get to meet each other at such a high position in the pyramid

Taylor left Lincoln around 76/77ish when we where in the bottom tier.

It was first time Murphy was in charge and I believe ten of that Lincoln team went on to play in the top division for other clubs. Their reserves at that time was also brimming with players who went on to have excellent careers not least our beloved Diddy Gilbert but also Stuart Naylor, Phil Turner (also played for us) Gary Strodder and Wayne Biggins & probably other’s who I have forgotten.

This was the era when their then Chairman, Gilbert Blades, held players meeting & announced they could not afford to get promoted, crazy but definitely happened as I know at least 3 players who were at the meeting.

Recall all this as I was personal friends with Dave Carr, who sadly died of cancer in his forties, so much so he took me to the 1981 PFA dinner, great name for a normal bloke culminating in late drinking session in Tara Hotel Kensington with Joe Waters and Dean Crombie, I knew Dean from his days playing local football for Ruston Bucyrus. Oh to be young again.
