You don’t have to read anything you don’t want to !!


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 good management we are sadly lacking.

Ive lived here for the last 20 years and the last few i have seen first hand how Lincoln have transformed, The Cowleys are everywhere in the community...totally engaged in schools and local business, They have built on success on the pitch, made quality signings and wisely invested transfer fees for raggett woodyard and cup run money. Everything has just snowballed. Bottom line is they are top draw managers, have been everywhere they have managed and it wouldn't surprise me if they end up in the championship.
Lincoln owed the coop a load of money before the Cowley's got there and that's partly why they struggled to compete.
Unfortunately, we just didn't have the wherewithal to capitalise on operation promotion, backing Hurst at the time and to take opportunities to further engaging the community and fanbase to gain momentum.
We are stale and have no energy off the pitch. Badly need a new stadium, investment and a proper off field operation to have a chance of catching them.

We're a smaller club than Lincoln now. No doubt about it. Third biggest club in Lincolnshire, what a flipping joke we have become when excrement like Lincoln are a better and bigger club that us. Fair play to them, Scunny staying up, and we're on the decline yet again. Sad days, the new norm or maybe not so new thanks to Sheldon.

How can we hang on to ourselves ?



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Lincoln City, a 'How To Do It' guide.

'Any potential investors, you are welcome' come on board they say.

Fenty, impossible to work with 'my way or the highway'.

They are lightyears ahead, and all of a sudden, a far bigger club. Yet again we are overtaken as we fester in our backward ways.

So as much as I hate it, this another Lincoln thread is highly relevant as it highlights the polar opposite to our board and o ly just down the road. We've already lost two millionaires and rejected God knows whoever else who willing to invest. Parker, the Mullen and the rest would have been welcomed with open arms at Sincil Bank making the Club much stronger, like they should have done us.

It's like banging one's head against a brick wall, yet Fenty's mate says 'We are a very well run club behind the scenes' and bestowes the party line that Freemo bad for the club.

Bad for Fenty more like.

'Lincoln has much more going for it', yes, but the football club were nobodies. Ours is famous and renowned with partisan passionate supporters - you would have thought investors would see the potential there just from the history and how embedded the club is (was) in the psyche of the locals.

We may be short of 'sleeping giants' but a positive backed assault on the leagues and the groundswell of support it would generate as we take over away grounds would bring national attention and acclaim.
