I always like to look out for a ground wherever I am and the central location of Sincil Bank made it easy to have a quick walk around last Sunday morning.
It's always pleasing to me to see a club rooted in their local community and not physically cut off in an out-of-town location.
The local Lincolnshire Echo reported on how crowds are holding up well despite the upward progress of the last few years (perhaps inevitably given the departure of the Cowley brothers) having slowed slightly and it was also good to see a busy Imps shop in the city centre.
I was in Lincoln the day after the club's youngsters had made it into the third round of the FA Youth Cup and an away day against Manchester United which sadly won't be played at Old Trafford.
The following ties are being played at Premier League grounds, however.
AFC Bournemouth host Barnet at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday 11th, 7pm, with tickets priced at £5 Adults, £3 for Over 65's, Under 21's and Students and £1 for Under 16's.
On Tuesday 10th it is Norwich City against Newcastle United at Carrow Road, kick-off 7pm, with admission on the night priced at £3 and £1.
Bramall Lane is the venue for Sheffield United against AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday 17th, 7pm. Admission is priced at £3/£1.
And this coming week in the FA Youth Cup there are scheduled matches at Pride Park and Elland Road among others.
