We may be coming out of Europe. but what odds against Lincoln City being in next year? They can still dream.

They don't even have to win the FA cup to get into Europe so long as the other finalist is a Champions League qualifiers. I think the chances are more than reasonable as no Premier League club seems interested in this competition and will only get to the final by default and not by determination. Personally, I would like to see a Lincoln v Millwall final - if the draw and results allow!

Wow putting it like that, I agree with you.

The Bill has gone through the House of Lords.  Shame if the Scots vote to leave the union.  With the Scots and London being the main remain voters, I can see London pushing to leave as well ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Can't help thinking the Brexit vote might have killed Boston United! The future of the club is dependent on getting the new ground and the new ground is dependent on the Quadrant Development and without the need for all that extra housing due to the influx of EU workers then the funding for Quadrant must be in doubt. Also inflation is set to kick in now with prices going up by 10-15%, so people will have less money to spend and will have to cut back on something and going to games may be what has to give to get family budgets balanced, so crowds will fall a bit like they did during recent recessions. So a double whammy. :(

Nah, it's fine Ken. We're selling jam to New Zealand as of 2019 so there's absolutely nothing to worry about. A glorious future awaits us all!

Have faith in this country Pete.

The EU is broken and more countries will follow Britain out.

Things may be rough for a start, But I for one would rather be independent than be dragged down the road on the end of Germany's leash.

Local politics will save it Ken .
Lincs CC have brain washed so many people that the relief road will end all Boston traffic problems and eliminate the need for a bypass they dare not let it fail ..........we hope .

But I'm worried that Brexit gives Lincs CC a perfect excuse to avoid spending any money on Boston. :(

Just a O/T on this O/T thread, police are investigating as many as 17 MP's ( all Tory ) into overspending of election funds.  All in marginal seats.  The government majority 17, oops. ???

LCC don't need an excuse Ken. They've already stopped spending money on Boston!
