The Green Man – Lincoln’s allocated pub 10 minutes walk from the stadium, had a carnival atmosphere in an outdoor tent. It was one of fan Dave Semper’s highlights.
“It was the best weekend I’ve had in years, Imps everywhere on the saturday all round Camden etc.
“Then Sunday The Green Man was packed full of Imps, it was incredible and to win the trophy was amazing, just brilliant. From the train there Saturday morning until the train home, I won’t ever forget it.”

“It was a fantastic day, spent with great friends and surrounded by brilliant supporters. It was wonderful to see so many people get to live a life long dream of watching Lincoln play at Wembley. Cardiff was amazing, but nothing beats Wembley! Roll on the play-offs!”
