The second game in our European series was a glamour game against the only Hungarian side that has played in the champions league and the biggest side in hungry Ferencvaros from Budapest.
i had been looking forward to this game for a while,certainly more than our other home pre season games.its not often you get to play a top European side. amazing what celebrating you 125th aniverasty can do for you isn't it?
a couple of moans first.why didn't the club release a programme for the game? i know they were expecting a small crowd compared to the Sheffield united and Arsenal pre season games we have coming up, but surly they could have issued something, even just a couple of A4 pages folded in half with a bit about our visitors etc etc and sold it for about 50p?
I know the next one isn't the clubs fault, but myself and baz were gutted that the fish and chip shop next to the ground was shut! thus forcing me to eat in the ground. the burger i had was as bad as ever 3/10.the hot dog was nice enough but at 3 quid a throw it should be.7/10. felice said the tea was crap as well.
On to the game.you could tell just by the way they warmed up, number of training staff and players that they had that Ferencvaros were a big club.Lincoln didn't look fazed by them though are created more chances than our opponents while looking steady and strong at the back with big Janos steady as ever.however the problem was still the same, no muscle up front. we are crying out for the big target man who can play with his back to goal. Chris Fagan showed some nice touches and could well be a threat this season if given a decent partner up front. trailist Paul conner did well and should have scored (same old same old for Lincoln there)
At the other end Rob Burch made a couple of saves from there number 88 but overall didt have much to do.
overall another solid Lincoln performance but the worrying thing is we have played two friendlies and have yet to score.
ticket price- £10
burger £3-crap
hotdog £3 ok
programme-non issued :-(
Lincoln performance 6/10
after rubbing shoulders with Europe's finest its back down to earth with a bump for the imps as we travel across lincolnshire to the backward dump of a town that is Boston to take on Boston united fc on Wednesday night.
respect to the ferencvaros fans who traveled over for the game, i mean who in the right mind would travel halfway across Europe for a meaningless friendly game? hmmmmmmm
