He was very loyal to the club during difficult times & I feel that he deserves to be rewarded for that, as do many other fans. Thanks Sam |

All the premier clubs now do this and I think we need to do similar. Also how about going back to the successful black and red strip if the colours do clash with the home side? Cheers Chris |

 Group: Member Posts: Joined: Tue Jun 3 2008 Status: Offline | Hi Steff, With the recent annoucement of friendly's with aston villa and derby county this up and coming pre season, is it now the club's ambition to attract bigger clubs down to sincil bank for firendly fixtures? As in previous years we have been lucky to have a friendly against a championship side. I feel as though pre-season matches against the bigger clubs would not only improve the clubs pre-season revenue but also give the players a much sterner workout before the league campaign starts. Thanks |

Group: Member Posts: Joined: Mon Jul 16 2007 Status: Offline | Mr Wright Two Points please... 1. What is the latest situation in regards to opening the access up South Park in order for the ground to be developed. How important is this factor, to the upgrading of Sincil Bank - and what aspects would you change obv. the Echo Stand, car parking, facilities? 2.As we all know Lincoln is a growing and thriving community - and demographically has a large catchment area, Lincoln City, North Kesteven & West Lindsey added to that the University. Apart from success on the field, have the club any schemes to try encourage the extra fan base? Also, I have many friends, speak to alot of people who follow Lincoln but no very few who attend from the Inner City urban areas - how can these areas of the community be target? Jimmy |

Also you are quoted as saying we have a competitive budget for PJ and his campaign for next season, in terms of monetry value, where abouts would you say that budget compares with the other league two teams for this coming season? Thank you Impish. |

Most would agree that we have suffered from a lack of atmosphere at SB lately, would that not help the overall atmosphere and so make home games more of an advantage to us? Many Thanks Impish. |

However you stated this last year in the faith you had with Deehan/Schofield, even awarding a 3 year contract to Schofield which was barely deserved, given the appalling second half to the 06/07 season. Can the board's judgement be called into question? Is Peter Jackson's appointment a desperate spin of the dice? Can we trust the Board and the Supporters Trust to give the club's fans the success that they deserve? |

Thanks Ashfield Imps |

Group: Member Posts: Joined: Mon Jun 18 2007 Status: Offline | Steff, given that Peter Jackson has now been given the all-clear, will the board be making any moves to extend his current contract beyond next season? I only ask this because as he only has a year left and he then guides the club to the top three in the opening few months of the season, what is to stop another club from whisking away our messiah? Shouldn't we be making steps to tie him down longer? Time and time again we seem to leave contract negotiations, players too, to the last minute, shouldn't we actually be pro-active rather than reactive? And despite protestations to the contrary, I'm still convinced the budget is not the greatest and will actually only be proved by the quality and number of our signings over the summer. What assurances can you give us that Peter has the best budget possible and what happens if he needs extra money? Who coughs up the cash? |

You have been quoted as saying there is no black hole so far as finances are concerned but surely there must have been substantial trading losses this year. Last year produced a small profit after taking into account the Hughes transfer of £185K.This year there have been no transfer fees received, a reduction in gates of about 1,200 per home match, the sacking of Schofield, Deehan and maybe a couple of players contracts paid off,no televised home games,the appointment of Peter Jackson and Iffy Onoura to mention only a few affects on the trading activities of our club. You may have covered this point at the EGM last week but I was unfortunately unable to attend. I would appreciate your comments and confirmation that the finances are still sound. Ron Myland |

I'm sorry but what student will make the effort to get a ticket atleast a day before the game??? I predict not many at all. What if any incentives are you planning on doing to tap this massive potential market?? |
