It was certainly a moment we will never forget wherever we were.
Yep things have changed, but the clubs still here and I will love them whatever the division.
One club for life.

I've just watched the clips from Sky Sports and Look North.
To be honest, it depressed me. I find it really hard to believe how things have gone downhill since then

Don't get stuck in the short term thing - we will have success again!  Can't say when, of course...

I have the FLS on sky plus still.

For most of us Lincoln, although some posters are leaving us to chase trophies
I have the commentary on my phone too as well as FLS on Sky+

We've gone downhill about a dozen league places not the end of the world is it

It's not the end of the World Dickos, no.
It's not just the league places we've dropped either (it's 14 T the mo) It's more the lack of enjoyment/excitement and garbage that we've had to put up with this season, let alone that we still should be in the Championship and would have been given a decent manager.

It's your prerogative to continue to support him, but I think you're quickly becoming the minority

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with the odd mid-table finish. Looking back on 2004-05, for instance, I thought that was an enjoyable and entertaining season. You felt a sense of anticipation that next season could be a bit better. I don't get that feeling at all at the moment.

You never know what you are going to get next season, despite the opinions of PD.

Compared to a couple of seasons ago, where are Tranmere now?  When we won the L1 play offs, Carlisle and Southend were in the semis, where are they now?  Bristol Rovers were promoted to L1 after we beat them in the JPT, where are they now?

Conversely where are Swansea, Hull, Leeds, Wigan, Blackpool, Bournemouth etc.

All, or most, clubs have changing fortunes over time.  There is nowt wrong with remembering our most recent success.

It's nothing to do with me supporting him, I'm not fussed if he goes now. It's just all the dramatic stuff posted on here.
The home games two years ago were no better than they've been this year and Saunders was getting slated for shit football so I'm not sure it was anymore exciting.
Saunders ground out results for us, created a great spirit that got us results from nowhere. But the football wasn't anymore exciting or enjoyable than it's been this year.
Look at the clubs that are in a proper proper mess like Blackpool, tranmere, Hereford, Stockport etc etc etc
All similar clubs to us, and are in a real mess. Were midtable in league 1 with no money issues, a decent squad, and good owners.
I don't see the doom and gloom

Hopefully some serious rebuilding is already under way behind the scenes, i would love the manager to get the right one's early, get them signed permanent, and try stay away from the loan market a bit more, we have been stung a few times with loan signings who don't give they're all.

But who made those loan signings? Would you really trust PD to make the right decisions on permanent signings?

True he made the loan signings, and i am sure he looked into attitude etc and the manager loaning them out has maybe told a porky or two, i notice Uche was sub for Crewe on Saturday.
And the Rotherham fans don't have a good word to say about Clarke-Harris' attitude, they say he has the ability, that his attitude is stopping him achieving what his ability warrants.

It'd be nice to think we could attract some decent players again while we are still a relatively big name in this league before we end up just becoming another nondescript side languishing at this level.
