    The Bury summer signing uberthread. WARNING - Contains tinpot material

    Councils tend to be open to lifting a covenant like that if there's a guarantee that a replacement stadium will be built, and then the covenant is transferred, as you say. Sincil Bank has a covenant tahg says it must be for sporting/recreation use only (I think a condition of the council selling...

    Homegrown/ Hometown players

    Our numbers have suffered because of basically closing our Academy to save money when we went out of the League, and anyone half decent in the last ten years went to Prem sides at the age of 14. The Cowleys are keen to get us producing our own players again and we signed a number of exciting...

    2020/21 General Match Thread

    Bond must be on shaky ground too. We've already helped dispatch Siewert this season :bg:

    Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    Jolley seems a smart bloke. When he first came he tried tiki taka football but just didnt have the players for it. He's since realised that it's not the way to get out of League 2. Fancy the Cods to make the playoffs maybe, assuming you've got the WWWLLLLLLLLWWW thing out of your system now.

    Or at least not as keen on the booze and Colombian marching powder.

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    A bit of a mysterious one, nothing official from anyone and another journo (Grimsby fan who covered LCFC in the past for The Lincolnite) has said we've not been approached and should all be cleared up tomorrow (signing a new deal?)

    Playing budgets next season? (Stolen from League Two)

    Whilst our budget was top end League Two, I dont feel it's going to grow much next year as all the talk is of us having an equivalent budget to the first year back in the league, ie. Mid-table overall but running a small squad (20 senior pros), which to be fair we always do. Probably 5 loanees...

    Ups and Downs

    Yup, as I said above, Simon Weaver took ages to get them out of NLN but his dad owns the club so presumably he's immune from the sack. Went straight into the playoffs this year, though. I dont think its obscene levels of bankrolling, but they're definitely getting some assistance.

    Ups and Downs

    Yup, Irving Weaver (the manager's dad) owns them. He owns a house builder, Strata Homes. Took them a fair few years to get out of NLN despite being seriously bankrolled, so was a little surprised how well they did (relatively) this year in the NL.

    Ups and Downs

    I'm rooting for Solihull Motors, mainly for the lols. I've no idea how that ground will be acceptable in the FL. I definitey don;t want Salford, and Fylde are just Fleetwood MK2. Lost track of Eastleigh but they used to be one of the more likeable bankrolled tinpotters. But fuck me, Wrexham...

    Hello from Lincoln

    Danny seems to have been quite firm that they're staying. I reckon they'll have two tries at promotion from League 1 and then move on if we don't get up. If we do, then who knows. I think they feel our "ceiling" is Championship. The way the fans have backed them has really reinforced that: I...

    Hello from Lincoln

    We're gonna piss this tinpot league. :box: Just kidding. I'm just delighted to be here. I was 13 when we last got promoted to this level, and it didn't last long so I've not had much luck as an imps fan until the last three years. It's amazing where we are now, compared to what looked to be an...

    The League 2 Promotion thread

    Think we need a new ground or to significantly increase capacity, neither of which is going to happen soon. I'm sure the Cowleys will give it a good go, and we might manage to get up there, but I'd be surprised if we lasted long once we got there. Worlds away from L1 even.

    This is said every year. It's complete guff, of course.

    But they DO have a single march thread. For the whole season, it seems!

    The League 2 Promotion thread

    Providing Mansfield, Tranmere and maybe Bury also go up, it should boost the numbers a bit.

    MK Dons vs Lincoln

    That luck, and winning more games and losing fewer than the rest of the league, yes. At this point of the season 'that luck' is bollocks.

    The League 2 Promotion thread

    I think that's probably Devonexlondonimp, who's a bit of a wag and always suggesting statues of Bob Dorrian, our former chairman. It's his 'schtick'.

    Looking like we will be Lincolnshire's highest-ranked club for the first time in many, many years. :woo:
