Answered by Bishop Len Brennan, emeritus Imps fan and religious zealot.

"Don't call me Len, I'm a Bishop"

How long have you supported Lincoln City?

For as long as I have read the Good Book, which is not the Rothmans Guide. In other words, 27 years.

What is your present squad like?

Like Jesus surrounded by his disciples, Saint Steve Tilson has ordained his people and become the Sincil Saviour.

However, you may have no problems parting this red sea in the midfield
.

Which youngster has made the biggest impression in your team this season?

My acolytes suggest that one Danny Hone, who honed back home after a spell in the North East on missionary work has done very well.

What's your manager like and will he still be there at the end of the season?

Saviour Saint Steve Tilson has produced many a miracle with a shocking set of soccer disciples.

As to whether he will be called back to Southern pastures in the Summer only the Lord upstairs will know. And perhaps the Chairman too.

Are you happy with your chairman/backroom staff?

Uncle Bob, Sideshow Bob, displeases up on occasions due to his short arms when the collection plate goes round the church of Sincil.

Favourite ever player and why?

That would have to be Lord Gareth Ainsworth, who chased and chased and chased and still chased, despite John Beck.

Best ever Imps game seen?

Promotion in 1997/8 against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Which team do you want to beat most and why?

I would suggest the cheating Satanists of Boston United however a win against Southend United would be good for the disciples.

Favourite away ground and why?

Oldham Athletic. My minions like the potato and butter pies there.

Also the double tiered home end at Southend is the dogs bollocks.

Your choices for this season's League Two Champions, runners-up, third & the play-off winner?

Chesterfield, Port Vale, Wycombe, Gillingham (the latter just a little joke for my Southern brethren.)

Any opinions on Southend United, especially with their current troubles?

May the Lord look after your souls and kick your Chairman in the goolies.

How do you see the future of the football league?

Just Pray against regionalisation.

The Bishop salutes you all.
