Sincil Bank and the Imps

We enter the digital age as we get 'e-tickets' for this one. I stuck them in my e-wallet which works fine. We stayed in the centre; a hotel next to the castle. The ground has a hotchpotch of stands. The opposite side to us was occupied by a stand that while high only covers half he length of the pitch. We had seats in the biggest side stand full of home fans. We were in a top corner with great views; excepting after home goals or substitutions when fans were apt to stand-up and block the pitch view.

The facilities in the stand included the usual food bars and a couple of TV screens for pre-match entertainment. Food and drink were nothing special; Pukka pies, chocolates and the usual drinks but the staff were very friendly and helpful. At £27 the seats were priced pretty typically for these days. The standing fans down the other end of the GBM stand where we were seated made a reasonable noise but I suspect the visiting Green Army were noisier when their team warranted it. The game itself was very entertaining and nearly ended in a draw after early looking one sided.
