Random fact about your Club?

If you could steal one Lincoln City player for your own team, who would it be and why?

Scully. A forward who can score. It looks like he will get better.

Now that your “Away End” has been redeveloped, bearing in mind distances and match dates, how many visiting teams do you expect to fill it?

5 or 6, I think travel costs and inflation will hit football.

Which of your players could play at a higher level?

All of them.

Jamal Blackman. League Journeyman or just the experienced stopper you were craving? What is your honest gut feeling?

We have two excellent but young goalies, I think Jamal will be an excellent addition. He was on loan to a number of clubs whilst at Chelsea, but that does not make him a journeyman.
