From those nice Lincoln fans:

Burnley are a great club, really well run, and one of the role models we should aspire towards. One silver lining of this draw is that we can take all the club officials up there, pre-arrange meetings etc., and treat it as a workshop how to run a small town club to maximum effect.

And:

Agreed .Burnley fans are an inspiration.

I was jumping for joy when we were first out of the bag (Home tie) and even more so when we drew them. Great chance to progress IMHO but we must treat them with every respect, as they will be dangerous and will no doubt bring thousands with them. I wonder what the ticket pricing policy will be? I think that a tenner for adults would be good again and possibly fill the Turf. There again Lincoln will be looking for maximum revenue, so let's make it a fiver for adults :lol:

Not sure if this has been commented on before but remarkable how all 8 Premier League teams were kept apart in the draw. What are the odds on Round 6 consisting of all 8 Premier League teams ?

Lincoln fans on their own forum seem a bit like on here, some are sensible, some display a level football knowledge then 1 or 2 act stupid and make dickish comments.

Just under 2%

You could hold the draw 50 times and it would only happen once

Well I've just tested that theory, and it happened on the 36th attempt!

Can't do. Minimum adult price was £10 for the 3rd & 4th rounds and not sure if it's the same or higher for this round.

The Rovers game is on the Sunday, so ours could be the Friday, Saturday or Monday.
