A New Year’s story for you. One to test your imagination. Picture if you will a family in a bleak northern town, it’s winter, and times are hard. The little house they live in is damp and has a leaking roof, their car is old and unreliable, and both parentsContinue Reading
‘Tis the season to be jolly’ as the song goes and let’s hope our games over the Christmas period have that effect on us. Whilst we’ve been willing the team to stop a run of defeats to lift the mood a bit a lot of us have had extra reasonContinue Reading
While I helped out behind the scenes at the Lincoln City Women FC match last Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed their FA Cup fightback victory, all the time in the back of my mind was the disappointing Imps exit 24 hours earlier. It’s certainly a testing time at the moment (IContinue Reading
This week I take you on a whistle stop tour of all things Red Imps Community Trust. As a fan’s organisation that has representation on the club board, owns a large number of shares, and now has over 6000 members it’s only right we work intelligently and work hard. It’sContinue Reading
