Originally posted by imp View PostI'm not only delighted at Lincoln's third trophy in three seasons, but that we seem to have pissed so many people off while doing it. The sign of a true fourth division champion. Also, we have developed into a class, professional organisation - and I think that's what really pisses off all the hackers, chancers, conmen and nut jobs at this level.
5 years of losing to the likes of Nuneaton, Carshalton, Welling and Whitehawk, playing utterly atrocious football, and now three years of sustained success. I can't believe it. Getting Clive Nates in and then the Cowleys has transformed the club and the city on and off the pitch.

Happy to see the two ex Norwich academy lads doing well at Lincoln. Shackell has carved out a decent career since leaving us after a bit of a roller coaster ride at Carrow Road. Really pleased for Harry Toffolo. He looked a star in the Youth Cup winning team six years ago but couldn't make the breakthrough into the first team. After numerous loans, he looks as though he's found his feet.
I'd ask Norwich whether we could have Sean Raggett back on loan next year, but with Shackell signing i'm not sure he'd have a starting place.

Yeah that is good pre-emptive punching. I'm surprised that with all that staff he doesn't have a comms officer to help him with this, though.

I was at Yeovil's first home game in the League, when they battered us. Carlisle are there next week for their last (for the time being at least) but I won't be closing the circle with them. Makes for a more interesting last day for us, we're still a long shot for the last play off place but the task is slightly lighter, playing a team already relegated rather than one fighting to stay in the league.

Newport's late bid for a play-off place is still on. It was a bit hairy today v Lincoln, with the wind and an erratic ref adding to the tension. Roll on Tuesday v Oldham.
EDIT: Tuesday's opponent corrected. We can't face two visits from the Cowleys inside four days.Last edited by HORN; 28-04-2019, 09:23.

Congratulations to Bury who confirmed their promotion and denied Tranmere's outside chances at the same time, so the two least popular sides in the league are playing off for the last automatic spot,don't know how Mansfield will cope with being the popular-ish choice.

Interesting to hear people congratulate Bury, as they’ve spent way above their means for the third time this
millennium. Are those stickers still on the seats?
On the pitch we were garbage second half so can’t begrudge Bury a point.
So I suspect Mansfield will win Saturday, leaving us to face FGR or you know who in the Play Offs. What a choice.

Originally posted by HORN View PostGiven they've to find a million quid to pay the bills this month I had wondered if Bury would elect to throw this game in order to pick up a few bob via the play-offs.
Evidently they're not that mercenary...

Originally posted by jwdd27 View PostCongrats to Bury. And Lincoln too, I suppose. Scunthorpe's decade-long reign as the best in "Greater Lincolnshire" could well be over.

At least Port Vale have survived their adulterous, cocaine-fuelled, car crash-ravaged pisshead season. There's just the takeover to sort before the chairman and his rampant hardon puts the club into admin just to piss off the few remaining fans.
