Should Lincoln field their reserve team against us...?

... to avoid further distraction from their more important objective of winning the National League?

Quite honestly and frankly, and this is in no way a reflection upon this thread, I really do not care. The FA Cup is so far down the list for me this year. I am concentrated upon Wednesday on Friday, not Saturday.

Probably not equivalent to reaching England's top division and achieving financial stability.

They probably should, they definitely won't.

No, of course not. A cup run for a team in that league nets them a load of money. They'll want to go as far as possible.

Cup runs help much needed finances for lower league teams so is more important for them,for us losing 500k in a week makes cup money chicken feed,we are playing with the big boys game now!

The two objectives are absolutely not mutually exclusive for a side of Lincoln's stature.

A cup run will net them the additional income which may well fund the new signing(s) that secure them promotion.

I heard them say that Lincolns budget for the year is an astonishing £500k...

Therefore, the £67,500 they net for winning the 3rd round, and possible £90k for winning the 4th round, is an amazing amount of money for the Non league team...

For us, it's pretty much nothing, with -£500k a week going out... So yes, they will obviously play their first team, and I am certainly not worried if they win - good luck to them!
