Lincoln-what a thoroughly nice club

I know I haven't gone to all away games this season, but that was my favourite day/ weekend out. If we are there next season or the one after I would thoroughly recommend staying over, perhaps supping in the bars around the Cathedral (after negotiating a *****ng steep hill) and on the waterfront.

Also, the 'Lincolnshire Echo' stand wins the award for possibly the strangest stand in League Two- overall the ground was a tad Woking-esque in its conception

The only person I met all weekend who didn't enjoy Lincoln was the cab driver- what a thoroughly miserable git.

Sincil bank was a better ground than i thought it was going to be.

The road is called Steep Hill. What did you expect?

Lincolnshire is technically a flat county, so I thought it was ironic. I mean, York has an area called The Shambles, but it's actually quite nice, and Histon has a 'stadium' which isn't.

Nice enough ground/town.

There fans really got behind the team and I was actaully pretty impressed with there support. If we were in there position would we have 2 sides of the ground singing/drumming for msot of the match?

Stewards/Club shop/Fans all very friendly...

Yes that is one hell of a hill to the Cathedral(no pun intended)..I managed to do it twice..

That stand was originally going to be wider,but when Lincoln were relegated to the Conference in 1987,ambitions were scaled back a bit on that development...

Since my first visit,the ground has been completely rebuilt & very nice it looks too.

Shame they over charged our fans compared to home fans!

Yes poor RAWZ he had a right job sorting it out in the end at an angle.
Looked all right to me.

Is that an Exewebber stood next to RAWZ? He kept screaming "J'aime le Bertie" in a high pitched voice which was pretty funny.
