Lincoln's promotion-winning manager wants to stay at the club and bring

The Imps secured a return to the football league this weekend -

ending a six-year spell in non-league football.

That alone is worth more than a million pounds to the club.

But for the supporters it s about far more than money.

Their football club has had an outstanding

season and their success is on everyone's lips.

Big impact, people are happy they got something in common

And local businesses were already feeling the benefits.

This gift shop says its Imps mugs are flying off the shelves.

This has put Lincoln back on the map, really.

You know, the exposure that it's had on TV.

It's the first time that we have been live on that

And people have seen the cathedral and developed an interest in Lincoln

And it's helped us to and hopefully we are helping the city as well.

Lots of people going online and thinking,

At Bishop King Church of England Primary School,

Sincil Bank is just the a few hundred yards from the school

and the success of their local team is certainly inspiring these young

fans and potential future players.

Everyone's talking about Lincoln City Football Club

to the games and, like, wanting to cheer them on to win.

They've done so well and they've tried their hardest

It's been a privilege to work at the club and to work

You've also developed a great relationship with the supporters

How how important have they been in this and how have

Our supporters have been unbelievable from day dot.

You are right, we got a unique relationship with our supporters.

The great thing about Lincoln City, when you compare it

to Premier League clubs, is that when if you support

Lincoln City, you get instant interaction with the players

Sometimes you support a Premier League club

and you're supporting them through a glass window.

We've been able to get out in the local community.

The players have been great, they've given up a lot of their time

to get out and meet people and build relationships.

Human relationships are built through interaction

You're right - in Essex, my next-door neighbour

doesn't know who i am, but in Lincoln, it's

As a consequence we've managed to have a real allegiance and build

That's why the Unite union called for a meeting with managers.
