"Pompey will face Lincoln for the first time in 36 years following the latter's League Two title success last term.
You have to go all the way back to the 1982/83 campaign to find the last time that the clubs shared a division.
It has been a remarkable rise for the Imps, who finished top of the National League two seasons ago and followed that up with a play-off defeat 12 months later."
