It's pretty clear the ambition from the board.  Although not a fan of the wages they are paying for some.  You never know it might have a negative impact like when it happened to us.

Yup. So if your floodlights are ok, and you don’t have benign loans to service, you can use any money from a cup run to improve your squad and take your club forward.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

It's called riding the wave of success and opening your sails to the wind and see where it takes you....unlike us who threw the anchor straight off the side of the boat at the very hint if any success...

Gates of circa 10,000

The other revenue that generates

Bet their recent successes has also brought them better sponsorship deals

EFL Cup money

FA Cuo money

They’ve outgrown us massively in all areas in a short period of times. Doesn’t matter how plastic their new found fan base is, they ain’t plastic anymore. They’ve almost sold out in season ticket sales alone.

It’s staggering


Not to mention the additional 13 new directors or associate directors and the value of shares they've bought that goes straight into the kitty..

They are rolling in it at the moment because as already mentioned, cup runs this year and last, new directors double our attendance, plus the investors are probably happy to put some money in without expecting to have most of it paid back.

As much as I hate the Cowley's touchline antics and their recent assaults on opponents, what they have done is nothing short of remarkable.

Someone on here referred to them last week as media whores but look where befriending the media outlets has got them.  Constantly out in the community, attending schools and inspiring the next generation.  They did an interview where they discussed how when they arrived people were training on the pitches next to the ground in Premier League and Barcelona shirts but now they wear Lincoln shirts and that was their ambition when they arrived.  Success breeds success of acted on correctly and Lincoln has much more going for it than Grimsby and Cleethorpes, making them a much more attractive investment.

When we got promoted, we should have pushed the boat out to ensure Amond was retained.  In the main part our recruitment has been terrible but it is only through standing by a manager that player turnover can reduce to an acceptable level.  Hurst disposed of that Conference team too easily for me.

They struck lucky with the cup run but invested it in a training ground that we could only dream of. Unfortunately, if we had a similar cup run, we would all be clamouring for Fenty to pay the benign loan meaning that in reality, the football club would see no improvements.

Got to wonder what if any debt Lincoln had when they were in the Conference (pre-new regime). If they had no equivalent of the 'benign' loans then they were clear to invest once the good times came. To use someone else's metaphor, we had a ruddy great anchor.


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.
