Any Previous? Lincoln City v Latics

 

Latics and Lincoln City have met 25 times down the years, but we haven’t faced the Imps since we put three past them at Springfield Park back in April 1999, 21 years ago, fair to say that both clubs have been on a bit of a journey since.

 

Our last meeting at Sincil Bank came in the August sunshine in 1998, the Latics fell to a 1-0 defeat, but went to make the playoffs, finishing 6^th in League Division 2, whilst Lincoln ended up in 23^rd spot and suffered relegation in their first season after promotion.

 

Highlights of that last meeting at Sincil Bank:

 

 

Stand Out Game – Wednesday, 8^th May 1985

 

Lincoln City 1:3 Wigan Athletic 

Freight Rover Trophy Northern Area Semi-Final

 

The game that set up the area final that saw Latics not only progress to Wembley but also make history winning the inaugural Freight Rover Trophy.

 

A solid performance from an inform Latics swept aside Lincoln with goals from David Lowe, Graham Barrow and Gary Bennett. Magic days.
