We have our own water supply now, so no problem on that front. One of first things they installed was that huge water tank in the Ponny corner.

Ah yes, the infamous Blizzard of 05, such treacherous conditions that effected only the routes from Lincoln to cleethorpes, stopping swathes of Lincoln fans in their tracks, rendering their attempts at visiting Blundell Park futile…I remember it well…

A town win, a drive back to Lincoln in clear conditions and little snow to be greeted with Lincoln City’s answer to Michael Fish in my then local, informing me that travel was dangerous, impossible, and you’d needed to have been Sir Ranulph Fiennes to get there…before raining on his parade, or snow if you prefer and telling him that I’d been at the match and managed to get get back safely in my knackered Rover without so much as a skid or swerve…


I came up from Sleaford via Horncastle and I couldn’t get past Belmont, all I did though was drop down towards Rasen and it was fine. Any Lincoln fans who couldn’t do it were too busy choosing what PL game to watch in their living rooms.

We have had our own water supply for quite a while now. I assume the water tank was installed to provide a back-up and regular flow for the newly installed sprinkler system.

Pretty sure it's just fed by the water main. The tank is just so there's enough back pressure for the sprinklers to run smoothly isn't it?

I imagine we are going to put a lot of emphasis on playing on the floor, with quick tempo football. Therefore a nice home pitch such help that. However some away days will be tricky I'm sure.

I could be wrong, and often am, but I thought we had installed our own water supply, which would be a borehole if correct.

I can recall reading on here that somebody confirm the ground's water supply came from its own borehole.

I was under the impression that the borehole had left the Town and was now living in Liverpool or Spain !!! 😉

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'
