Its cup time!

The imps have been drawn at home to Championship side Barnsley (two leagues higher than us) at home in the first round of the Carling cup.

Pretty crap draw in my book. i had wanted either of the Sheffield clubs or Nottingham forest away but there you go, and in all fairness we have a chance to cause an upset and beat this mob. at "the bank"

The way the Carling cup works is that all teams in league two, league one and the championship enter in round one, the premiership clubs that are not in European competition enter in round two and the "big clubs "enter in round three.so the chances that the imps will get a crack at Man utd or Liverpool are slim. why they get seeded to round three nobody knows.just another kick in the teeth for the small clubs really but that's the way it is.

This cup has been kind to Lincoln in the past

Lincoln city 4 -Manchester city 1 (1st leg)

Manchester city 0-Lincoln city 1 (2nd leg)

Lincoln city 3-Derby county 1

Lincoln city 5-crewe 1

(all the above were championship sides when we beat them in the last few years)

GOOD TIMES!!!!
