Stats: Lincoln City 1-0 Shrewsbury Town

NickH: “What a great match. Now the Imps know the pitch for next months visit! So proud to have been there to watch history unfold. Port Vale, you are next!”

Snats: “A wonderful day. We truly are living in a golden age that even the youngest among us may never witness again. The Cowleys’ stock is rising and one day they will leave us, but for now, let’s just treasure what we have.”

sincilbanks: “Hardly a classic but I don’t think anyone in red and white cares. They showed they can knock the ball about nicely and applied some pressure for 15 mins after the break, other than that we took one of our 2 clear cut chances and Ryan stopped their only clear-cut chance. On such fine lines are cups won and lost.”

German Imp: “Really enjoyed that, a fantastic day out. Thought Bostwick was immense. So so please for ELLIOTT WHITEHOUSE, coming good at the business end of the season after sitting on the bench for quite a while. He has made Lincoln history, as the saying goes “it all comes to those that wait”. Well done Elliott, it’s what dreams are made of.”
