The lords were not good on the shepherds today at Sincil Bank, with a 3-0 defeat against Aldershot confirming relegation - not for the players, management or board, who are, as Sir Robin Day said to John Nott in the 1980s, here today, gone tomorrow, transcient people, but for the near 8.000 who crowded into the Bank today to do their best - to will the club to stay up.
Alas, it was not to be. It is goodbye football league, perhaps now for a long, long time.
Rest In Peace, Lincoln City. You were fun once.
