BEHIND THE PROG #80 It was a bright sunny October morning so i said to the better half do you wanna go to Lincoln and knowing it boasted a magnificent gothic cathedral she quickly accepted.On the way down the descendants of Robin Hood were exacting tolls on the A57 motorists who were using the bridge to cross over into Lincolnshire from Nottinghamshire, 30p i think.The cathedral seen, more important issues were on the agenda at Ashby Avenue,home of Lincoln United.The capacity is 2,200 and although it wasnt sorely tested for this Sunday cup-tie a 837 crowd was pleasing ...and a slimmer Danny Crowe was playing for the visitors Cambridge United.An early goal for the hosts with a chance to double that not long after alerted us to a promising banana skin but in an hectic 6 minute spell from the 35th minute 3 goals from the Conference club sealed the issue.The 44 page programme a glossy 2 pounds worth contains 18 full pages of adverts but compensates with its other contents.Theres two pages of CUs history plus a further six meeting their players illustrated with a team picture and six individual pics.We are told Danny C has fitness problems but he seems well liked by their fans.I always thought he was a contender for bigger things but there you go....The hosts get fourteen pics but the backdrop is poorer! A match report,Northern Premier facts and figures and theres not really much else.A slightly disappointing issue actually and just scrapes into £2 value...
