A Message from Mandi
It has been the honour of a lifetime to represent the John O’Gaunts Membership, Red Imps Community Trust, and our fans on the club board for the last seven years. It’s been quite the journey, from an abandoned COVID season, to a Wembley playoff final, and culminating in a 103 point championship winning season. Thank you to the members of the John O’Gaunts club for putting their faith in me for so many seasons, and I look forward to continuing to run the scheme away from the club boardroom, as Vice Chair of the Trust.

Thank you, Clive.
The Red Imps Community Trust wish to thank – although that word incredibly seems incredibly small in context of the achievements of Lincoln City FC over the last ten years – Clive Nates for his time with Lincoln City FC as both Chair and vice Chair and for his engagement with both ourselves and the wider supporter community, as he steps down from his current role on the club board, but remaining as a non-executive director for both the club and Holding companies.
Three promotions, two trips to Wembley but only one Clive.
