A Lincoln City football fan and local student has created a short documentary about what it means to be an Imps supporter.
The student documentary has been created by ex-Lincoln City Manager, Chris Moyses’ daughter, Ellie, and her work partner Adam Nisbet.
It shows behind-the-scenes footage of the non-league football club and the community that lies within.
The video shows interviews with both fans and people involved with the team including Manager Danny Cowley and Club Secretary John Vickers.

Entitled ‘The Pursuit Of IMPerfection’, the short film also looks into the fans and how ‘close-knit’ they are.
Gary Hutchinson, Club Mascot and fan said: “Lincoln City is different to any other smaller clubs.
“There is much more of a family atmosphere and that really is what makes it special.”
Ellie, 19, who currently studies Level Three Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production at Lincoln College, worked on the documentary with Adam, 25.
She said: “For our first topic of our final year, we were given the topic of documentary, where we had to plan, produce, direct and edit a documentary on a topic of our choice.
“We felt it was important to show people what supporting Lincoln City was all about because we wanted to show that football isn’t just about what happens on a match day.
“My dad has been involved with the club since 2011, but also was a player in the early 80’s. My older brother Sam went through the youth academy at LCFC in 2004, as well as my younger brother Archie, who is now a scholar and plays for the youth team.
“[The club] has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.”

A 38-year-old man from a North Lincolnshire village charged with murder will face an eight-day trial later this year.
Emergency services were called at 4.23am on Saturday, July 2 to reports that a man was seriously injured on South Parade in central Doncaster.
The 28-year-old victim was taken to hospital but was sadly pronounced dead a short time later.
A post-mortem examination found that he died of injuries to his head, chest and abdomen.
Formal identification of the victim is yet to take place, South Yorkshire Police said earlier this week.
Steven Ling, 38, of Park Drain, Westwoodside in North Lincolnshire, has been charged with murder and was remanded in custody to appear at Doncaster Magistrates Court on Monday, July 4.
Ling later appeared at Sheffield Crown Court on Tuesday, July 5 for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
No pleas were entered during the hearing, but an eight-day trial was set for November 28, 2022. Ling has now been remanded into custody until the next hearing.
The Lincolnite went on a ride-along with a Lincolnshire Police officer from the force’s Roads Policing Unit (RPU), which aims to disrupt criminals’ use of the roads and reduce the number of serious and fatal accidents.
The team will support the county response including local policing, neighbourhood policing and criminal investigation too.
Operations first began in Grantham in January this year and started in Louth earlier this week with a sergeant and nine PCs based in both locations.

PC Rich Precious has been a police officer for 22 years after joining the force in 2000 and he recently rejoined the Roads Policing Unit, working out of Louth.
PC Precious, who also previously worked as a family liaison officer for road deaths for 16 years, took The Lincolnite out in his police car to the A1 up to Colsteworth and then back to Grantham. He described that particular area as “one of the main arterial routes that goes through Lincolnshire”.

Speaking about the new Roads Policing Unit, he said: “It’s intelligence led policing, it’s targeted policing in areas that have been underrepresented in terms of police presence, on the roads certainly, over a number of years.
“We’re hoping that the development of this unit will help address that balance, and look towards using the ANPR system to prevent criminals’ use of the road, and to identify key areas or routes where there’s a high percentage of people killed or seriously injured on the road, what we commonly refer to as KSI.

When asked if he thinks the new team will help reduce the number of serious and fatal accidents in the county, he added: “That’s what the the unit designed for. Sadly, in Lincolnshire our road network does seem to incur a number of those KSI accidents year on year, and we need to reduce that.
“I’ve worked additionally in my roles as a family liaison officer on road death for 16 years, so I’ve seen first hand the impact that road death has on families and victims families.
“I know it’s important that we try and reduce those because, it’s very sad to see how a fatal road traffic collision can affect a family and the victims of that family.”

Marc Gee, Inspector for the Roads Policing Unit, told The Lincolnite: “Every day there will be officers on duty from both teams and they’ll cover the whole county or the county’s roads.
“Eventually, we’ll have nine police cars and we’ve got six motorbikes. We’ll be utilising them with as many officers as we can every day basically to make our roads safer and enforce against the criminals who feel like it’s okay to come into the county and use our road for criminal purposes.”
