Hate to say it..

I think Lincoln have had their blip now unfortunately...4 draws recently and just scraping through in some of them...back to winning ways on Saturday so really cant see them falling out of the top 3 now.......agree with the original sentiment, let them beat our rivals and allow us to extend our season through to the play offs or at least give us a few more games of hope of reaching them.
We still have a few teams above us to play so hope of reeling some of them in as well.

I sometimes wonder if I’m the only Town fan left that genuinely doesn’t give a shite about Lincoln 🤔

You're not alone.

I suppose it's a reflection of how far we've fallen.  I grew up watching Town in the very early 90's, so it was Barnsley who were our rivals.  Then after Buckley left for West Brom they became our rival for a fair few years, then it became Sheffield Wednesday and their massive chip on the shoulder.

Until the double relegations between 2002 and 2004, both Lincoln and Scunny were non-entities in my mind.  In fact I wanted them to do well as local sides, we often loaned players out to them or lads who didn't quite make the grade with us got a second chance with them.  We switched leagues with Hull in 2004 so missed out on any rivalry with them and even in that first season in League Two, I saw Scunny as more a rival than Lincoln.  The next season both Town and Lincoln were promotion chasing and met in the play-offs so it brought us together over that but other than it being our most local game, it wasn't anything more than that.  Since then, which was 13 years ago, we've not really competed with them.  We languished for a few years before relegation, they didn't.  In the Conference we were pushing for promotion, they weren't.  

It's a rivalry of convenience in the absence of any real rivals.   As the side most local to us over a consistent basis for the last 15 years, there's bound to be something emerging.  

Top three look set. Play offs much tighter. We need to bridge a five point gap to that bunch to be right in the mix. I think we could be 2 closer to it after Saturday.

I doubt many Lincoln fans would think the same about us if it was us in their position.....I'm still hoping they miss out on promotion but it's looking unlikely now.

I can see the Cowleys moving on within the next 2 years if they continue to do well.I know Danny Cowley gave up his secure job of  a pe teacher to go into management. Personally if I was in his shoes I would have stayed a teacher rather  than enter the uncertainty of football management.

Really? I guess you definitely would have stayed an investment banker then.

Why thay have gone  into one of the only careers that pay failures handsomely, and given their success over the last few years there is going to be stream of suitors wanting to employ them, and they have got their teaching experience to call on should they ever find they need a career change
