Still a bit strange to me at times that we are now a BIG Club !!

It's very strange. Lincoln very excited at the prospect of playing us. Can't quite fathom that in my head - especially given we are going to be playing an entire team of reserves/kids.
Nice piece. I'm almost rooting for Lincoln after reading that.
You're making the mistake of viewing it from our side. They're very excited at the prospect of BEATING us. The team we're likely to put out increases their chances of making round FIVE - which would be a massive achievement for a National League club.

Good blog Sticky Palmer, haven't got time to read it all at the moment 
but looks very detailed. Should be a real cup game tomorrow, both teams going for it, great crowd, great atmosphere. UTA.

The best pubs are at the top end of the City around the Cathedral and Castle but it is a long walk down to the ground but OK if you arrive early and want to do a bit of sightseeing. A lot of people do the walk down Steep Hill having the odd refreshment on the way.
The Brayford Pool area around the University has a number of waterfront pubs and eateries and is not too far a walk from the ground.
Nearer the ground the Golden Eagle is popular with away fans looking for a decent pint and there is a large Weatherspoons on the High Street towards the city centre from the ground. There are a large number of cheaper food outlets on the High Street near the ground, Kentucky, Pizza shops and others.
There are a few pubs which are popular with home fans on the lower High Street, Golden Cross, Shakespeare and Treaty of Commerce.
As I said in the first part of this post if you have time and have not been to Lincoln before the top end of Lincoln is well worth a visit.
At the ground there is a supporters bar which is open to both sets of fans normally but it can get very busy with a sell out crowd. You can also get decent hot dogs and pork rolls in there and there are TV's showing earlier kick offs. It will be close to where the coaches usually arrive so if you don't want to go further afield then its probably the best place.
Have a good day in Lincoln!

I'd steer clear of the High Street and head up into town. Some cracking pubs up Steep Hill and in Cathedral area of the city, only 20 mins walk to the ground.

Just seen that Burton Road Chippy in Lincoln came second place in the recent awards for the best takeaway chippy in Britain.

Mention of that 'Hereford' season, takes us back almost exactly 20 years (last week actually) when we arrived at Lincoln 7 points clear, and soon to be 9. Trouble was then we were 7 points clear at the BOTTOM of the whole Football League!
We were hanging on for a draw and then conceded a very late goal to lose 2-1. That was one of several days that I thought we were done. Following a win at home we would then lose away, repeatedly. Their scorer that day, if I am not mistaken, we later signed as a star striker!
Wasn't Ipswich Town famous enough for you?
I'm expecting a tough game having watched your 3rd round replay. Hopefully we will have some first team players on the bench incase it's close near the end!
Hopefully we get through and get either Oxford Town, Blackburn Rovers, Blackpool or Rochdale at home.

Cheers mate. We're coming up on one of the club coaches so will be dropped at the ground. Brisk walk up to the Cathedral then!
Nice.
Really? You beat Ipswich in the last round! I'd imagine it would have been nice if you'd got one of the big clubs.
Cheers. Let's hope for a good game with no injuries.
