I’ll get in an early ‘Come on City’ in

 

[JT_LCFC]

Not sure what to expect from Bolton, think they will be happy with a mid-top half finish this season. To date have goals in the side but leaky at the back.

Expecting a near 9000 crowd with a decent away following. Looking on the ticketing website circa 1000 tickets remain.

 

[Cricklewoodimp]

Will be setting off mid afternoon. Boys on School/Uni holidays, so nice leisurely journey for me.

 

[Lincoln Imp]

Another tough one

 

[G-Of-Lincs]

Come on Lincoln!

 

[HoofGrantBrown]

How about 10 points deducted for every £million of debt a club has?
Wonder just how low these perennial cheats would drop?

 

[Norfolk Imp]

A very good footballing side, who score plenty, but who are also suspect at the back …. should be a cracking match with decent away support too under the LNER/SB lights.

 

[SalfordImp]

Oh dear what a blow and good coincidence I have to come to our Lincoln office today..

 

[Sincilbanks]

Can't make it tonight, I have a meeting as it transpires...

Well it certainly wouldn’t be good for Barcelona with their £1.15 billion debt!

Minus 11,500 points.
Would still make the Champions League in the Spanish two horse race

 

[Impala]

Bolton fans can still pick up a ticket tonight - presume from the initial 1,000 allocation or slightly more, given that home fans are in blocks 1/2 of SW tonight.

Still several hundred home SW tickets for sale.

 

[NottyImp]

I shall be watching this one on iFollow. Too far to go - and too much diesel - on a Tuesday night now I'm an exile.

Is that the "Spanish two horse race" that was won by a third horse last season, and the Championship that was still a 4-way fight going into the penultimate game - unlike the EPL? :)

 

[Red Wimp]

Bolton stayed in Lincoln last night. Not leaving much to chance.

I would guess block 3 will be left empty, barely a seat spare in the coop and selentiy bar the legends lounge. As you say plenty for home fans in the SW and also Krypto Stand. 9000ish tonight ?

No that was so they could rack up extra debt.

 

[sedgleyimp]

Back to IFollow tonight as I can't get away from this side of the Midlands before 6pm and my teleport is broken. Should be a good game. This is not the Bolton team we put 5 past 18 months ago so will be a tough one

That's the one. Atleti really shouldn't stand a chance.
