I really hope they do. They deserve it.

They've deserved this run too. They've been excellent.

 

[CrazyImp]

Too good. Too clever.

Seriously, very emotional at the moment. Let's take this ride to Wembley.

I remember that feeling when we were in the same round. Just thrashed Birmingham at their place. Waited for he draw....

Chesterfield. Away.

What a come down. We'd have beaten Middleborough in the Semis. No doubt in my mind.

Hope you get a big draw

would Lincoln prefer an FA Cup final - or promotion - if they could only have one.....?
It's likely no non league team will get a better chance than this season.....

 

[Luke Imp]

Sorry, Chester. Our game will be off.

Some tin-pot Quarter Final game to play.

 

[Murphy]

In all seriousness, massive congrats to Lincoln. Huge achievement.

Especially chuffed for the Cowley brothers, followed them since they were at Concord and it's not a massive surprise that they're ripping it up (although I don't think anyone could have predicted an FAC6R appearance with Lincoln!) Makes me all the more gutted we never went in for them when we had the chance. Excellent pair of managers.

 

[fifaking]

can't add much more

Congrats Lincoln, enjoy it.

 

[ForeverUnited]

Amazing achievement, congratulations to all imps. Absolutely incredible what Cowley has done at Lincoln.

I blame Paul Hurst for all this...
If he was going to feck off, he should have fecked off straight after the FA Trophy Final shambles against Halifax. Then we could have appointed the Cowleys...

Well done, hope you get Sutton in the next round.

Not as if all the big hitter are out, though!

I'd rather get promoted (I think!), as long as we can keep the circa £2m we're likely to make from this cup run.

It's ok, I would feel bitter as well if my town/city was Calais' shit dumpster as well.

Cheers now, stay well x

 

[Super_horns]

Great win Imps!

One of the big boys at home?

 

[Etienne Vermeer]

Nah we don't want to go to Lincoln.

Yeah hilarious!!!

 

[Soup Ladle]

Well done Lincoln, the way your club has risen from obscurity in the last year to this and top of the league is outstanding. Gives me as a Pools fan hope that one day we might be re-booted like what the Cowley's have done.

Just don't lose the focus of going up, that's got to be the priority.

Bullshit. I hope Lincoln win the Cup and get promoted at a canter.

 

[Leewilson]

Even I want Lincoln to go up!

 

[Davidimp]

Step closer today without even playing, what an amazing day!
Still can't believe it! This cup run gets more unbelievable with each passing game!!!
So proud being an Imp these days after years in the doldrums.

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

Definitely want Lincoln to go up, we followed you down here so we need to follow you up.

What a season though, great time to be a Lincoln fan; wonder if you'll have the title tied up by the time we visit!

 

[Pablosammy]

When we reached the QFs back when we were in the Championship, I thought it was a great achievement.

What Lincoln are doing is on another level.

Fair play and congrats.

[Jemfy]

You're now ONE win away from Wembley, incredible

Three wins from Europe!

 

[Jemfy]

This is mental. Well done Lincoln. I gave you no chance and I was wrong.

Not sure the officials would have allowed that without goal-line technology, but it was there so it doesn't matter.

I wonder how all the Lincoln fans who chose not to try to go to Burnley feel! You never know.

Hope the draw is kind. Hope Sutton are somehow in it too. I'd love to see you both somehow draw other teams, get through and then play an all non-league semi-final at Wembley!

Prize money takes a big jump at this stage too. £180k! And it's got to be next to impossible for Lincoln to not be on TV in the next round, so another £247k there. All in that goal was worth something like half a million depending on the draw etc.

Somehow find a way in the next round and that will be more or less a million on top of that! (prize money, gate receipts, and presuming the losing semi-finalist prize money)

 

[GodsGift]

Why does football make you cry? I've been in bits all day.

The draw is taking place after the United game tomorrow so both Lincoln and Sutton will be in the hat for the FA Cup quarter finals. Ridiculous.

I think any Lincoln fan who says promotion over a once in a lifetime opportunity is being ridiculous. Or maybe just trying to temper expectations.

With the money from the cup run and fantastic managers you have to be looking at Lincoln to go up next season if they don't make it this time. Added to that the fact that it is necessary to make the final to see Lincoln win at Wembley - almost certainly against one of the big teams too.

An FA Cup final is the kind of thing that would drive increases in season ticket sales for the next few years and improve attendances and the whole atmosphere around the club (although it must already be fantastic).

I think it's probably short sighted of anyone in non-league who would take promotion over an FA Cup final and all the effects it would have on a club.

 

[Jockney]

Seen Millwall promoted twice but nothing has come even remotely close to beating Sunderland at Old Trafford to reach the FA Cup final.

 

[Sparrow]

I wonder how all the Lincoln fans who chose not to try to go to Burnley feel! You never know.

Were there really some Lincoln fans who CHOSE not to go and watch their team in an FA Cup fifth round tie?

And in no means have you got a little ahead of things there!
