Football in our heart

By L.I.S.A Committee

Since this whole L.I.S.A thing started rolling, none of us ever imagined how we would create such a brilliant way to enhance our own support. It has been a joy to make so many new friends, to see people so happy at our events, to share a pride in our club and embrace all that it has brought to our city and beyond.

​It’s amazing how life can change so quickly and there have been many times when we have had to stop, take a breath and thought, “is this really happening?”, it’s not always been easy but my goodness it’s been worthwhile. We have now entered the season of good will to all men (and women) and we have so much to be thankful for.

​Just like our logo, football is in our heart and since our beginning we have been able to see just what an incredible difference our club can make to people. The influence and ability that football has to provide positive change extends way beyond 3 points on a match day and we want to promote and support that, we want to try and help our club be the best it can be.
 
In our excitement for the future it’s important we acknowledge and respect all that has gone before. Our encouragement of female support in no way detracts from the importance of the gents, the diversity of our support is what we believe in, not to take away from it, only to add to it, to join in and see our club flourish and see our stadium full to bursting.
 
The word “diversity” is feared by some but it should not be, it only threatens those who seek division or do not believe in tolerance and respect for the good of all. If we do what we can in our love for Lincoln City to promote our club and its diverse surroundings it will hopefully help it in becoming more accessible to everyone.
 
As we move into the New Year we will be working hard to enhance support, bring people together, raise funds for good causes and promote diversity. These will not always be easy tasks but the L.I.S.A loco is rolling and it’s not slowing down just yet. Whatever gender, disability, faith, country of birth or sexual orientation - you should be welcomed and encouraged to Sincil Bank.
 
In the New Year we are proud to be working with both Imps in the Community and the club to support the “Kick it Out” fixture against Newport County and we will keep you updated of our work on that. We have big events on the horizon and our next L.I.S.A Night in March. 
 
We believe in what we are doing, and we believe in Lincoln City, we think we can make a difference. It might be a big ask but, as someone once said, impossible is only an opinion!
 
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Up the Imps.

Merry Christmas from L.I.S.A
