Hykeham Town committee members will join the Lincoln United Board with immediate effect, to manage the transition and become part of the Board that carries the club into the new era.

 

In the short term, both clubs will remain focused on delivering the rest of their respective seasons and will officially become ‘one club’ in the off-season via a joint AGM.

 

The strengths and qualities of both clubs will come together to create a ‘new dawn’ for Lincoln United FC.

 

The 2020/21 season will immediately see the following changes:

 

• Focus on a talent pathway for the men's first team.

• Introduction of Lincoln United’s first ever female section.

• Doubling of the size of the youth section.

• Pre-school provisions for both boys and girls, as a pipeline for future junior teams.

• Signification growth of the club’s workforce to improve area like marketing, commercials and governance.

 

With all transitions of this nature, it will require patience and support from all involved with both clubs.

 

Hykeham`s President and treasurer Lee Griffin said: "This represents a unique moment, where a club with a deep history and a club that is young and modern, amalgamate to create a stronger and more sustainable club. A lot of work will go on in the background in preparation for the new 2020/21 season, and I am personally very excited about the future."

 

Lincoln United chairman Ian Beaumont said: "I personally feel this is a great fit for both clubs. The two clubs actually needed each other at this moment in time. The merger will mean Lincoln United can grow as a whole. With all the youth teams, in time we can develop our own players with a clear pathway through to the first team. We will have our first ever Lincoln United Women's team, I’m sure more will follow! Coming together as one, I can only see bright things ahead with the local people involved who care deeply for the club and the people in it".
