Fridays article on Lincoln Vital. Didn't do a lot of good either in terms of numbers or the result.
A couple of days ago we had a bit of a giggle at Bob Dorrian’s expense. He had not chosen his words very carefully and told BBC Lincolnshire that City were looking for a manager on the cheap. Not the message we thought us fans should be hearing. Well Bob’s back, and this time it’s personal.
In an interview in today’s last ever daily edition of the Lincolnshire Echo and also carried on BBC Lincolnshire Dorrian lays his cards on the table and, in some detail, gives his views on the Sutton and Tilson eras and spells out his and the boards side of the story. The message is clear and stark. The board share our fears and frustration at the situation faced by the club, are working hard but have no magic solution, just like we knew all along.
You may think the board are doing a good job, you may think the board are doing a bad job but the plain fact of the matter is that unless gates improve there is very little possibility of progress on the pitch. The Tilson reign is over and we start a new chapter in our supporting lives. For the moment we have a true Imp and a favourite son at the helm, Grant Brown. At times like this the board can work as hard as they like but, and it was always the case, at times like this the club can only turn to us, it’s supporters so we suggest you give Strictly Come Dancing it takes two, Zoe Ball and all a miss and get yourself down to Sincil Bank tonight. Your club needs you.
Grant Brown cut a confident figure when he faced the press, in contrast with the previous incumbent and issued his own rallying call to the fans to return to the fold explaining even Fleetwood’s manager was surprised that City have found themselves in such a lowly league position. Those of us who have witnessed the whole sorry saga are maybe not so surprised. Let’s hope for better things to come.
