:03:36. > :03:40.No, it was a great day for anybody associated

:03:41. > :03:45.Did you know that you had it in you to do this,

:04:25. > :04:26.The great thing about Lincoln City, when you compare it

:04:27. > :04:31.to Premier League clubs, is that when if you support

:04:32. > :04:33.Lincoln City, you get instant interaction with the players

:04:34. > :04:37.Sometimes you support a Premier League club

:04:38. > :04:41.and you're supporting them through a glass window.

:04:53. > :04:55.and that is what we've been able to do.

:04:59. > :05:00.and nobody knows you there really, do they?

:05:14. > :05:17.We've got a great relationship with the Lincoln people.

:05:18. > :05:19.For us, when we've come into the club, we wanted

:05:20. > :05:23.to get to know the city, to get to know the DNA of the city.

:05:24. > :05:26.We quickly worked out that it's a really honest,

:05:27. > :05:29.hard-working area and we just tried to get a group of players that

:05:30. > :05:32.had similar qualities, and I think we been able to do that.

:05:33. > :05:35.As a consequence we've managed to have a real allegiance and build

:05:36. > :05:45.is your future to stay at Lincoln and have

:05:46. > :05:53.While we feel that we can add value, we would love to stay.

:05:54. > :05:57.For us, the success that we've had this season has to be

:05:58. > :06:03.We've done very well in the FA Cup and the finances are looking

:07:14. > :07:15.However, it went up for sale on Friday, and for the staff

:07:16. > :07:17.who work here, it can be a worrying time.

:07:18. > :07:22.That's why the Unite union called for a meeting with managers.
