He's been obsessed with our budget for over 20 years he ain't gonna change now.Of course with our budget we should have got the game on because Gillingham only pay their players £50 a week and their ground staff work for tea and biscuits and they would have got the game on!
I see in their local rag Evans was banging on about budgets again. Mind you reading some of the fan comments even they think he's like a stuck record and all blah blah blah!

We've cut our budget by 40%, so he's pleading poverty like he did at Boston until he got caught cooking the books the utter crook.
Late call for Northampton, that.Blackpool v Northampton off; shame, it would have been nice to have them play
I suspect the U18 game was cancelled to preserve it rather than there being an issue.The Under 18 Cup match was postponed for similar reason a few weeks back, after all the costly work on the pitch in the last two years makes you wonder whats going on, but sat here in dry Norfolk dont know what the situation is in Lincoln.
I can remember those comments, questioning whether we did any scouting or just waited for him to sign players then pinch them. I think DNG was the only one and he wasn't even their player!I remember the shitfit he had when N’Guessan signed for us. Completely understandable that he’d want to sign for a proper league club, but poor Steve couldn’t cope with it.
It was transferred to Preston to get the game on. The pitch has been relayed x2 at least over the few years and still problems.I suspect the U18 game was cancelled to preserve it rather than there being an issue.
I'm no pitch expert but I suspect it's more the sodden nature of the subsoil that comes after consistent or sudden rainfall that prevents it draining as well as it ordinarily would.
Pitches get re-laid due to wear and tear, they don't last forever. A brand new pitch doesn't make it immune to waterlogging.It was transferred to Preston to get the game on. The pitch has been relayed x2 at least over the few years and still problems.
I suppose the answer would be, where would the water go? If the ground is saturated and the surrounding drainage system is overflowing (i.e. Sincil Drain), the water has nowhere to go. This has been a longstanding problem in the vicinity of Sincil Bank - there was a discussion over it a few years ago.I am no landscaping expert (so feel free to shoot this down) but how hard would it be to erect a series of canvas waterproof tents that are angled to direct rainfall into a gutter/drainage system that runs along side and around the pitch and ultimately away from the turf? Think a series of Wimbledon covers that are peaked in the center - maybe 6-8 are needed to cover the pitch.
