Tuna Posted 17 April 2017 Share Posted 17 April 2017 Well I think this proves you should never give up after watching (enduring) 89 minutes of Lincoln playing fairly woefully and never really getting going a penalty from nowhere for a daft handbull in the 89th minute is put away by big man Rhead. They must have been delighted with a priceless point but oh no, the ball is pumped forward, Rhead flicks it on and it's volleyed home by Arnold 2 minutes into stoppage time and the Imps win 2-1 - amazing scenes at the end. Tranmere came from behind to win as well - 2-1 at Guiseley who boast former fox James Wesolowski in their ranks, but in the end it didn't really matter Lincoln did what they had to and they are now just 2 points from the title and a return to the football league for the first time since 2011.

isaidno Posted 17 April 2017 Share Posted 17 April 2017 I'm going to the match Saturday. There's going to be one massive pitch invasion if they win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 17 April 2017 Share Posted 17 April 2017 Lincoln were actually really bad for the whole game but the 2nd goal was very well taken. Fair play to them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Coalville are in the Evo-Stik, Nuneaton/Alfreton are conf north. I'm potentially moving back to Leicestershire for work and looking at other opportunities at a club to provide some basic sport science/ strength and conditioning support. Believe Barwell are up there amongst the highest in the county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barwell and Coalville play at the highest level out of the teams in Leicestershire, both in the Evo Stik Premier and both are mid table ish so will be at that level again next season.

Leicesterpool Posted 22 April 2017 Share Posted 22 April 2017 Boro face FC United today in the last home game of the season, should be a decent crowd as FC United always bring a good following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 22 April 2017 Share Posted 22 April 2017 They nearly threw away the win, Macclesfield should've scored. To win the title having had long runs in the FA Cup and Trophy is some effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 22 April 2017 Share Posted 22 April 2017 Absolutey delighted for Lincoln City, they've had some dark moments in the last 6 years. Should never have gone down from the league in the first place, but what an amazing season. The town and the supporters deserve a league club and I reckon they'll be there or thereabouts next season.

Tuna Posted 22 April 2017 Share Posted 22 April 2017 York City enter the final weekend of the national league season in the bottom 4, they'll need to beat Forest Green on the final day to have a realistic chance of staying up. I'd expect Forest Green to rest some players ahead of the play-offs. Hope Gary Mills can pull it off but it's quite appalling to see how the football club has ended up in this position having come out of the Football League. If York finish in the top relegation spot, they'll be reprieved if Leyton Orient go bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted 22 April 2017 Share Posted 22 April 2017 AFC Fylde are in the conference next season having win the national league north. I remember a lot of traditional northern premier league team fans laughing at their '2022' aim of being a football league club. May well become a reality the way it's going, they'll be going full-time next season. Must be strange being a Blackpool fan seeing your team decline and 2 tiny non league clubs locally rise up through the leagues and in Fleetwood's case surpass them.

Well you only have to look at the attendances in recent years for both Fylde and Fleetwood only a few years ago both teams were watched by one man and his dog now for example Fylde are getting gates of 1500 clearly a lot of angry Blackpool fans choosing to watch them instead, as they like look showing more ambition than there own club. Fleetwood on the other hand could be just two years away from the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure too many were laughing given they were being bankrolled, it would be a disaster financially if they weren't in the league by then, with bigger gates needed too.
