One of the worst for standard alone was the nil nil draw against whitby in the 90s, gale force winds don't remember the ball touching the ground much. Awful. Made remarkably better by the home leg like!

One, if not the most, cringeworthy games I can remember. As someone with me said, any neutral watching will be wondering which is the full time professional team.
 
Forgot about Lincoln. Then lost at home 0-2 to them in the home leg.
Ah the great days in the lower divisions...
Mick Harford scored about five of their goals over the two legs didn't he ?
Remember walking into a gang of Lincoln under the North Stand . 'The Clan' they called themselves. Big bastards too, nowhere to hide in those days.
 
Don't think so Duffens. They started off poorly, remained so, except for them beating us at home sometime in September. That's why it was a shock home defeat for us which stuck in my mind.

York City started off with 2 losses and their highest position reached was 12th.Were in the bottom 3 by January and went to the bottom when we reversed our earlier home defeat beating them at York in March.

From then they remained bottom until the season ended, 5 points adrift of the next team.

Itinerant farm labourers?
Have I told you lately of that trip to Bloomfield Road in the late 70s?

Three nil down after 15 minutes.
You can shove your Blackpool Tower etc

I know they supposedly broke 4th Division records, but what were Taylor's Lincoln like?

Just an effective long ball team, or more than that?

We didn't play them in Taylor's time so didn't see them first hand but scoring 111 goals in a season and getting the highest number of points ever in a 2 points for a win season makes me hazard a guess Lincoln fans were happy. They had a higher average in Div 4 than we did in Div 2 that season as well.

They had far too much for City with the likes of Cockerill and Harford, long ball when it was relatively unknown, but some good players and not easily dismissed as simpletons.

Lost 7-0 on aggregate in 80/81 when they were a division below us, then 4-1 the season after when they were a season above us.

Yes, but we never played Taylor's team, did we?
