Meadow Lane, 1970. Remember that I was bought a bag of bulls eyes. Nothing else. 0-0.
This and the Chesterfield one on this thread are very cool programme designs. Modern designs are awful compared to these...My first ever game for a 6th birthday treat ... we lost 1-3 ?View attachment 29873
Blundell Park for me in the late 1980s. We lost 1-0 and I had run a first goal scorer book at school and most of my mates, despite being Imps, backed Dave Gilbert. He then duly scored from the spot to clean me out.
Sheff Utd 28th Jan 1961, lost 3-1 in FA Cup 4th Round in the days when one side of the Ground was still open for the cricket season. Andy Graver scored but apart from been beep cold can remember nothing about it !
Pretty sure that was also first for me
Remember we were sitting right at back of stand, behind Sheff U supporters, and that Graver scored with a diving header from a McClelland right wing cross
4-3. Former Imp Ian Greaves was Mansfield's manager at the time. He pre-warned his players by saying there was nothing non-league about Lincoln - he was right. Great game, we lost in the last couple of minutes.Mansfield in R1 fa cup the year we were in the conference... 3 2 i think. Dave Clarke freekick. Good game despite the result.
Didn't Dave Gilbert get convicted a few years ago for assaulting his wife and then a few months later get convicted for assaulting some young lad? Or am I getting confused? Just seem to remember it being in the news.
First away trip, Blunders 1990, remember them scoring late on and hell breaking loose, coins seats etc getting thrown and Humberside OB just standing back.
Didn't got to another away game for a while after that, my next one was Cardiff start of the 1991/92 season we when won 2-1 Dobson and Carmichael pen.
Saw some big away wins that season 4-1 at Halifax and 5-1 at both Donny and Chesterfield.
2003, another game where it was a bit lively after!In all seriousness, it was Hull 0-1 Lincoln, Bimson penalty.
