When did people start calling the Sincil Bank side the West Bank?
About 1948?
I don't think Ben Gurion played for the Imps - were you meaning Ben Futcher?

Fair enough, must have been another source.

Sincil Bank Terrace, Away Fans Enclosure, to the right of this picture, taken 13 1 1990. I've mostly attended City matches since 1986, with a few visits prior to that. I've always known this terracing as the West Bank. I'll follow it up with a slightly better view.
Can't remember exactly - some time in the 1970s/80s I should think.
The reason being that "West Bank, West Bank, give us a song!" sounded so much snappier than "Sincil Bank side, Sincil Bank side, give us a song!" would have done.
Fifty years this month since I left Lincoln.
I don't recall there being a choirfest in the Railway end in the 70s.
We’re there not broken glass bottles on top of the walls too?We never ever called it the West Bank, always the Sincil Bank side, and thats from 1960 until it wasn't anymore. Great 'airey' toilets and barbed wire on top of the bank to stop fans escaping. The rumours of machine gun posts were untrue. Those were the days !!
