To be or not to be.

That’s the second Shakespeare reference in one weekend. This stuff isn’t thrown together you know. Well, as we now know it’s not to be and the only route to Wembley for the Imps is the much maligned, by some of you, Checkatrade Trophy.

I mentioned after the Lord Mayors Show and there’s the analogy. One day cheering crowds, next clearing up the horse droppings and analyzing what went wrong. As we all know it’s the lack of goals wot did it. By the time City get to Wembley maybe Lincoln will have a Lord Mayor. The city keeps getting asked to apply only to be told we can’t have one. Bit like trips to the national stadium we keep trying but failing to gain entrance. If your names not on the list you’re not coming in.

Fortunately many of us really enjoyed the ride last season realising this was a once in a lifetime experience and embracing it for what it was.

I would recommend you do the same now that so many fans are visiting Sincil Bank. It’s easy to support a team that’s doing well, not so easy to keep up the momentum after a few blank weeks.

I will say this though, the longer you continue to support the team the less likely these current days will fade and come to be seen as a one off. Up the Imps!
