The 2006/07 pre-season preparations begin in earnest tonight, when Lincoln City FC play their first pre-season friendly.

The match takes place at local non-league club Stamford AFC, who could prove difficult opposition. Last Saturday, Stamford claimed a shock 1-0 victory over Keith Alexander's Peterborough United. This match also included Peterborough's Trevor Benjamin missing a penalty - [he obviously needs to read how to take the perfect penalty!]

John Schofield, who is Lincoln City's new Head Coach, intends to give all fit members of The Imps' squad a run out tonight. Most likely, this means that Schofield will field two sets of players per half, although this is unconfirmed.

Also expected to play is former Manchester City midfielder Lee Crooks, who is currently training with Lincoln City. Should Crooks impress, then he should shortly find himself offered a deal to become Lincoln City second summer signing, following the expected completion of Adie Moses' free transfer, later today.
