OMG - you’re right! Craig Conway!

Double his squad number too!  

Please tell me that this will be brought up at the fans forum as that is the club established link with the fans. Who are they trying to kid?

Im viewing this on my iPad and when you scroll down obscuring the heads it’s obvious it’s the same lower half!!!

Yes would be excellent to get a Cup run going. tougher than Carlisle so agreeing with the 3-1 forecast after a few alarma.

[SBlue]

I awoke in a cold sweat.

Tossing and turning with something deeply troubling that my subconscious couldn’t come to terms with about Caddis’ head/body conundrum...

 

And chaps, it gets worse.

 

The resolution is poor but...

I suspect the headshot is from before he even joined 

It it certainly isn’t lifted from last years...

 

 

 

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL

 

 

Compare the backgrounds from the suspected lift, and look closer at our current squad image. 

 

Through the magic of photo manipulation...

Someone is trolling “Plasterer” Paul and has put a pencil behind his ear.

 

I’m convinced.

 

And delighted.

Paul Downing, Scott Wharton and Ben Gladwin have the same body, so do Conway and Caddis.

What would the reasoning be for this? Couldnt find a kit that fits Caddis? Gladwin couldnt put one on for fear of injuring himself? 

In seriousness, I guess some were not there on 'photo' day for whatever reason. Caddis had a labouring gig probably.

Probably to get the marketing material out without the player coming down for a photo shoot.

Wonder who is the ‘correct’ body for those three?

[Mattyblue]

Do Sky not do something similar with some of their ‘bodies’ when they are running through the teams pre match? Especially if someone signs mid season.

Haha - its quite obvious who is the correct body out of Conway and Caddis. My guess is Downing for the other three.

Anyone we can get in for Rothwell? ?

Ive just had a look at the squad list to check.

The most enlightening thing though is that I think THEY HAVE ACTUALLY PHOTOSHOPPED CADDIS’ HEAD ONTO A FITTER BODY

 

I wonder does he have a little finger? 

[Gone to seed]

Feck me, he looks older than I do!

[gumboots]

Question. Can we buy tickets tomorrow evening without paying a surcharge. Don't know yet if husband will feel up to going after minor op and don't want to get tickets if he doesnt

[Mattyblue]

Doesn’t say so on the official site

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2018/august/ticket-news-lincoln-city-h/

 

[gumboots]

No I tried the official site but didn't know if it normally said different prices or what. No good ringing today either. Perhaps give a ring tomorrow  morning

[Mattyblue]

Normally it does say for league games that there’ll be a £3 surcharge.

[only2garners]

Frankly it could be either. The page on matchday pricing talks about the £3 surcharge for tickets bought after 12pm for day games or 6pm for evening games and doesn't mention any exemptions for cup games. But there is no specific reference on the Lincoln page.

One way to avoid it is to get 1875 membership but at £10 that might be a step too far for your first game back for a while!

[Mattyblue]

I would imagine they won’t add one as they’ll be a load of season ticket holders turning up last legs that you imagine wouldn’t take too kindly to stumping up more.

The club have taken it down from the main site already. Someone copied your post onto Fb.

If it's before 6 for evening games that's fine. We'll have a fair idea what's going on before 5 is.  

[JPTSwindon]

Will be a very tough match.

The Lincoln managers are very talented and have numerous Cup scalps over the last few seasons, so we shouldn’t make too many changes. I’d like to see Travis & Tomlinson start and Rodwell involved (if match fit).

                                               Fisher

Paul "the body" Caddis Downing Rodwell Williams 

                               Tomlinson Smallwood 

                           Conway  Palmer Rothwell

                                          Nuttall

I reckon we will have more first teamers, but I would be looking at Bristol at the weekend. A win there and we have a serious foundation to build on after the international break. 

 

[Stuart]

Rodwell won’t be near the team.

We do need to try out a right back though. Would be disappointed if it was Caddis as I think he is on his way out. It would be good to have a look at Travis there.
