Hi all - I am moving to Lincoln (quite literally am writing this on the train there from London!). I am sure there are some Sky Blues living in the area (Lincs Sky Blue, Astute) including some on here and I met some lads from Horncastle at the P'boro away game last season.
I would like to know if any Sky Blues, especially in Lincoln itself rather than the county generally (although that is of interest too), would be interested in sharing travel to matches or generally socialising etc.
"If so please post below or PM me. I am going to be living very near the town centre near the Bailgate, so easy to meet / pick-up etc
Yes - Cov fan and Lincoln City Director nowadays though - so I'd be persuading you to get to Sincil Bank all the time...!
Strange both being in the same division - but trying to push Lincoln forward does re-iterate what a massive opportunity there is at Coventry.. Enjoy the matches and maybe see you at the Coventry - Lincoln games..

Cheers Wingy,
Yes i am in Lincoln. Bracebridge Heath to be exact. Are you getting a ST? I am travelling to Blackburn at home in the cup for my first game if you want lift? there are 2/3 of us going.
Its a great City...Welcome (bailgate? you snob!!)
Do you ever go in the blackies in the Heath? We should get a lincs Based Cov- Box for the game lol. Doubt it will go to general sale only 2k in the away end and this game will sell out!! Again if you fancy lift for Blackburn match let me knowWaddington for me, so just round the corner from you.
Manage to get to 5-6 games a season and currently in the process of brainwashing my girls to be Sky Blues (I think I'm pretty much there!). Looking forward go going to Sincil Bank. It was so nice this past few months seeing the positive atmosphere the success of the football club has had on the whole city.
BTW, Oucho, stay up the Bailgate - much better pubs up the top of town.

Good stuff, will PM you and sort contact details - Mansfield away lol, game onOk nice one. I have a 7 seater sos we could travel in comfort! I know how important that is as used to go to games with 4 adults crammed into a Peugeot 2p6!!
Always wanted to visit Lincoln, but never got round to it. Reading this made me realise (again) what the Sky Blue family is all about - and how scattered we are!

Like you I probably won't go to many home games this year but PM me which Saturday ones you think you might do, in case it makes sense to car shareWaddington for me, so just round the corner from you.

I have done the Christmas market for a few years running - generally enjoy it, even if it doesn't quite justify the hype. Whereabouts did you live in Lincoln....still living in the area? Had a few jars in the Strugglers last night, great pub! Plough Boy on Burton Road...not so great but an OK local for a quick pint on way into town.I lived around Bailgate, decent area with a few decent pubs. Let me know how you find the Christmas market in December.
What was wrong with Chapel? Went there myself a couple of times, it must be a bit bleak in winter and annoyingly busy in summer, but generally seemed like a relaxing part of the world!Lived in Chapel St Leonards until recently, but moved back as i couldn't stick it any longer!
Hi Oucho
I live in a small village just outside Bawtry right on the Lincolnshire/South Yorks/Notts border
Lincoln city centre is about 35 minutes for me
I am not having a season ticket this year but will "do" majority of games home and away as long as there is some form of entertainment and not the dross of last season
Let me know if can ever help out with travel.
You will probably pass my way for majority of midland or northern away games and happy to share the ride.

Wow I am actually moving to Mill Road!!! Small world eh?Mill Road and Burton Road, yeah, I was never a fan of the plough boy. The Struggs is a great pub and in the Bail itself the Prince of Wales was decent when I left, although could be very up and down. If you like music, on a Friday, the Jolly Brewer was always half decent too.
I used to watch sport in the tower hotel, unless it was Rugby/6 nations, which was watched in the Peacock.
I used to enjoy the Market although found it a tad overcrowded.
Each of you - I am aiming to do the Grimsby, Chesterfield, Cambridge and Luton away games - driving them from Lincoln and back. Will be doing Stevenage, Mansfield etc later in the season subject to not being busy on those days.
