Quoted from LH
We’d been back in the ground a while by that point but that Stockport game was the first game that felt like football was properly back post-pandemic.


Wrexham at home on a Tuesday night was decent, tbf.

I feel ill at the thought of it. And yes, there is an apocalyptic ending possible if we go down a third time. To miss out on the new TV deal is sickening after all the years of constant struggle.

But I have to admit, even if we did stay up, how long is this sustainable for? How many millions are Lincoln into it for just staying in the top half of league one? Half of the national league is now comprised of ex-league clubs.

The sands have shifted without a doubt and I hate it.

Quoted from Limerick Mariner


Yes, without huge investment I can’t see a way back. Again we come back to the millstone of Blundell Park - investors won’t just have to tip in to make up for the shortfall in the playing budget.


If we're in that situation I'm not sure you would call it an "investment" in the truest sense of the word.

Well let’s all jack it in and take up chess on the weekend then.

The ITV Digital deal that eventually went wrong in 2001 was a great leveller, suddenly gate receipts and corporate hospitality and sponsorship were a much smaller proportion of turnover. We were the biggest beneficiary as a % of turnover and ultimately the biggest loser went it went wrong. I don’t know the details of the new deal but perhaps the same principle will apply, which will help Lincoln compete with  the big clubs that end up in League 1.

I hope they turn the music off ten minutes before kick off. I can’t hear the person next to me let alone what’s being sung elsewhere in the stand, stops an atmosphere generating. And it will need to be generated from the home stands because there’ll be nothing coming out of the away end to bounce off.

I thought it would be a cold day in hell that someone complained that the BP speakers are too audible, but here we are…
