Bath City are one of the furthest trips for the Imps to take next season and they will be aiming to build on an impressive first season back in non-league's top level, that despite deciding to stay part time.

Manager and Chairman Adie Britton attended the recent Playoff Final between Luton and Wimbledon and was pleased that Luton stayed down, as well as being excited about trips to Lincoln and Stockport.
Speaking to the Bath Chronicle, Britton said "I cannot wait to go there (Luton) again, we had a couple of great attendances against them. With Lincoln City and Stockport coming down from the League, there should be some good trips next season."
The Romans are located at Twerton Park in Bath, the 11th biggest ground in the Conference with 8,840 being able to attend, with 1,066 seats, 230 of which go to away fans. It's a ground that has been used by several other teams, including Bristol Rovers between 1986 and 1996 and Team Bath between 1999.
They are one of the old teams in the non-league, being formed in 1889 and in that time they have reached the FA Cup Third Round six times, as well as having regular matches against Liverpool, Manchester United and Everton back in the day. Recent history has been a little light, although in 2005/6 they won the Southern League and won the Conference South Playoffs in 2009/10 to get promotion to the Blue Square Premier.
The current squad includes former Lincoln City striker Danny Webb, although he is being used as a defender by the Romans, and Scott Murray, a man who regularly finished in third tier's team of the year around 10 years ago whilst with Bristol City.
