More about Lincoln... from the Reckless guide already in hand for the first League 2 game of the season away to the Imps on August 8.

Reckless, recovering from his recent heart operation, notes: "My favourite dry biscuit has always been the Lincoln Biscuit, with its dotted concentric circle-like topping. You know the one from the shortcake family of biscuits.

"I could go on about Lincolnshire Plum Bread or Sausages but this is reputedly a football-based guide for Heaven's sake.

"See you there!"

It's good to report that Barnet stalwart Reckless is in good literary form, maintains his good humour and is himself looking forward to being at Sincil Bank for the opening of the 2009-10 season.

As chairman Tony Kleanthous said yesterday: "I can't remember a quieter close season".
