Some Lincoln City fans say they'll boycott tonight's fixture against Everton's Under 21s team, claiming it's a back door way of introducing youth sides into the football league.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe editor of Lincoln City's fan blog says he understands the boycott, even if he won't be taking part himself:
Quote MessageOur entire league structure is becoming the focus of just 20 teams, so it's taking away the individuality that we have among smaller teams like Lincoln City, Scunthorpe and, dare I say it, Grimsby Town."

Hannah Cann, private housing team leader for City of Lincoln Council, says there are about 1,000 people waiting for houses in the city:

The ambulance service which covers Lincolnshire, Grimsby and Scunthorpe says it wants to reassure local residents that there will be no reduction in ambulance numbers covering the area.
East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) says it is reviewing where its ambulances are based, which could mean some stations seeing a reduction.

A teenager from Lincoln best known for his appearance in BBC TV drama Poldark is about to appear in his first speaking role in a feature film this week.
Harry Marcus, 13, who played Geoffrey Charles in Poldark, now stars alongside Claire Foy and Andrew Garfield in Breathe, which is directed by Andy Serkis, of Hobbit fame.
Based on a true story, Harry plays the son of Robin and Diana Cavendish, who became pioneering advocates for disability rights after Robin contracted polio in 1958.
Speaking to me on BBC Radio Lincolnshire, Harry said filming was fun but hard work, as the school term had just begun and he needed to keep up with his homework!
A planned refurbishment and redevelopment of Scunthorpe Market will increase the number of customers, according to North Lincolnshire Council.
Some traders say they fear plans for a facelift for the market could put them out of business after stalls are moved outside while the work is going on.
But Rob Waltham, from North Lincolnshire Council, says the refurbishment is aimed at benefiting traders and local residents:
Quote MessageThe market is not the building that exists currently. For me the market is about improving Scunthorpe town centre and that's an important dynamic we've all got to embrace. We also need to make sure that we've got a market in which we've got really excessive footfall. We're putting the town council offices...and other business in there. All those are a mix that will increase the footfall."

I am at Scunthorpe Market today, talking to people about a petition signed by thousands of local residents asking the council not to go ahead with plans to move all the traders here before giving the place a facelift.
Julia Murray (pictured) took time out from her stall to tell me she believes the council's plans are not practical and there are no assurances they'll be able to return to the site:
Quote MessageWe do feel that if the market goes from this site, it won't come back to this site."
Julia Murray, Market trader
North Lincolnshire Council says the facelift is part of a £60m investment in the town centre.
