I don't think any of us will think it's going to be a "walk in the park", especially after our result tonight.kaftanimp wrote:Derby - No.. Rivalry - yes..
It saddens me a little to see the hate directed towards the Imps since we have enjoyed a little success just lately. There was none of that when we were rubbish, and not considered a threat to anyone. I've had to stomach 41 years of kelter before these last 2 years of relative success... but let's not forget, we are still only in Division 4 in reality. I've never seen the Imps in Division 2 (the Championship in new money) unlike you Stags.
I remember Mansfield pitted against Spurs in a League clash years ago, yet there was no hatred directed your way, more an envy that we could not reach that level. I'm not one to shout out about us being World Beaters with a God given right to win every game but I'm sure as heck going to enjoy it while it lasts. There are always going to be supporters who shout the odds, i read this forum quite often and your fan base is no different to any other fan base - ours included.
I'm long enough in the tooth to know the Cowleys won't be here forever too - however, just like the Radfords at Mansfield, they are laying the foundations for sustainable football at Sincil Bank. A new training ground and youth set up that has been funded by our Cup run a couple of years back. Previous managers and Board members would have fritted that away into a black hole.
I'm looking forward to Saturday with trepidation especially as this game has family pride at stake for me, nothing should be taken for granted by either side. There will be supporters on both sides who will think it will be a walk in the park I'm sure, but most of us know it'll be a hugely competitive game between 2 committed sides. Let's hope it's a credit to Division 4 and that come May we are BOTH in the top 3 so we can continue our new found rivalry next season.
Up the Imps

Forest would be third
Lincoln’s probably on par with the Doncaster and Rotherham’s of this world.
