Awe man. 13yo gave me ear ache all week, 3 hours down in the car, in the ground, in the seat: “Row B? Row B??? Can’t see a thing. Let’s move. Go sit with Pat. Can I sit with Charlie…” Me- sometimes you have to sacrifice a view- trust me. As we left- you were right dad.

@mjr128 @LincolnCity_FC It means a lot. Your dignity and appreciation is in unparalleled. 13 said to me today- I’ll miss Orient. (He’s only seen us go up😂) .

A huge congratulations to @LincolnCity_FC on their promotion. Fully deserved 👏 The Club, and fans, showed me tremendous support when my Dad passed away when he was watching his beloved Orient play them. I’ll miss the rose the Club always put on his seat when they met🌹

@alexandrakuri I mentioned- in the company of women that I thought was wooden. They went ballistic.

@SydneyLWatson @_6signxxx We built it with sand- it was just water before that…

@_6signxxx babes, Australia as a country didn't exist before British people sailed there lol

Australia was 0% white in 1780.

@mudhutter This is iconic for me. Up the PVFImps.

"What did you do at the weekend?" "Watch my football team spinelessly capitulate to a bunch of parma violet kitted farmers, what about u?"

@chopperimp 1- never in my days did I think it would happen. 2- he’s instrumental dint know the full ins/outs of the 617 but in my head he was the sense and they continue to thrive and that is a lot to do with him. Think he would have a lot to say about the Towler song. 😀

I genuinely never thought i’d see a day when Lincoln City play Championship football.. To achieve that without my best mate is heartbreaking.. I’d like to think Marcus had a say in ongoings this season and will be sipping a Ghost Ship and a sours to celebrate. #BeMoreMarcus

@impyblue @AlanJohnson83 @htafc I always saw them at being the people that stopped an aircraft carrier going in the wrong direction and started the turn. Then I saw that aircraft carriers can turn quite quickly. But you get the idea.

@AlanJohnson83 @htafc And also remember the man that kept the club going throughout those dark years. Bob dorrian and Chris moyses are a big part that paved the way for this

In my second game covering the Imps we lost 4-0 at home to North Ferriby Utd in the FA Trophy. Reaching the Championship was a pipe dream. Special thanks to the brothers, Clive and Skubala ❤️🤍And of course @htafc for helping fund us the last 6 years. Enjoy League One again🫡

@TobyFreestone @NathTheImp @PaddyLane14 He didn’t want the ball. Not seen someone skive through a game like that since GTF away at Yeovil.

Hi @PaddyLane14

If Carlsberg did birthdays 😮‍💨 up the fucking imps, what a season, what a group ❤️🤍 @LincolnCity_FC #weareimps

@Veno1983 @nickprocter27 Respect to the respect.

Lincoln getting to 90 points and promotion after 41 games is unreal 3.5k wage cap and lowest possession stats in the league. Our 111 was amazing. Lincoln and their achievement pisses all over it IMO. Especially as they could get to 105 with those constraints Some effort👏

@m_pettinger @AdamCrafton_ Based on one article, without all the information and with preconceived ideas- can see how that would be the simplest assumption.

@AdamCrafton_ That tells me that they’re gonna get battered in the Championship. Congrats tho

NEW: Lincoln City promoted to second tier of English football for first time in 65 years. They’ve done it with a wage cap of £3,500 per week, seventh lowest budget in League and lowest average possession. Inside their remarkable rise. nytimes.com/athletic/71679…

The tide is turning. Even Reading fans singing 🎵backwards and sideways everywhere we go…🎵 WTaF are Cardiff doing? 50 Touches in the opposition box and only kicking it at the goal 8 times? 1 goal.

This is how mental the Imps are this season- Lewis Wing scores this absolute screamer- do not realise how far out it was from Row B : But I turn to my lad and say, “Will make the winning goal all the better.” 👍

Should have been 250/1 to be fair.

Blimey

Anyone know which bookies I place the bet on Imps to win promotion year?

Other fans love the Imps. Shows the dream is available. Unless… you have lived the dream and you know you won’t ever see as better times again… 👍

@henrywinter Imagine Jovon Makama being the trigger to that success- a player who was meant to be the focal point of Lincoln’s attack until 30 mins before the season started.

Imagine telling Norwich City fans when they were 23rd in November that they would have a faint shot of the Championship play-offs in early April. They’d have laughed. Imagine if Philippe Clement had been appointed earlier. When he arrived on Nov 18, Norwich had 9 points from 15 games. They are now 9th with 58 points from 41 games. Highly unlikely but not impossible that Norwich could make the play-offs. 6 points off with 5 games remaining. Still a long shot. But Clement has transformed Norwich. He's improved fitness levels, defensive concentration and mood. Improved recruitment, too, and credit to sporting director Ben Knapper: Mohamed Toure, Randers, £2.6m, scouted by Knapper since 2022; Paris Maghoma from Brentford and Ali Ahmed from Vancouver. Knapper’s appointment of Clement has been inspired (and may have saved Knapper’s job). Clement has authority, presence, good decision-making and deals with adversity. He lost Makama to injury, and Sargent to a sulk and Toronto FC. He had 10 players injured going into Friday’s game with Portsmouth, drawn 1-1. Norwich trailed 1-0 to Millwall at a sold-out Den today, but Clement’s subs turned the game around: Mohamed Toure 2x assists, Schwartau the winner. Clement has restored hope to Norwich. #OTBC

I love that Henry Winter gets us. This thing about the other teams- proper fans through the lower leagues do get it. @LincolnCity_FC are the real dream and proof that it can happen. It could have been Hartlepool Utd but they turned down the Deadpool money- that’s not a dream.

@mancgas How much has the owner put into Lincoln?

Slight issue with this. Lincoln City’s owners far richer than Wrexhams….by a huge margin. Including a former Baseball franchise owner. Sure they’re doing it differently quietly& no TV channel/mega brand sponsorships. But there’s no doubting funds are there as required….
