I’ve seen this game badged as most important in our history and was pondering how it ranks.
I’m not qualified to look far back into our history so am going to draw a veil over anything too far back. But some contenders that come to mind.
Last game in 57-58 season when we played Cardiff to complete the great escape from relegation from Div 2.
The game already discussed on here v Fulham 1982 where similarly to Sunday a win would have taken to the 2nd tier.
87/88 game v Wycombe needed to win to return to the league at 1st time of asking . If we had failed, would we have been able to afford to have stayed full time the following season?
2011 last game of season v Aldershot win needed to retain league status.
2017 perhaps a surprising pick FA Cup Q Final v Arsenal. However unlikely, a win would have made history and would have ensured the Imps are mentioned every time the FA Cup came around.
2021 arguably tier 2 is much harder to reach now than any other time we’ve been close or in. Definitely the most valuable single match financially we’ve ever taken part in.
So is it the most important game in our history? Well that’s subjective but it’s definitely in the top 2 in my opinion.
