Lincoln City Football Club, an English association football club based in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, was founded in 1884. The club's first team won the major regional trophy, the Lincolnshire Senior Cup, in the 1886–87 season, and reached the last 16 of the FA Cup in the same year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Early Years: 1884–1919 )〕 In 1888, the club joined the Combination, a league set up to provide organised football for those clubs not invited to join the Football League which was to start the same year. However, the Combination was not well organised and folded in April 1889 with many fixtures still outstanding.〔 Lincoln then became founder members of the Midland League, and won the inaugural league title. After two seasons the club turned professional〔 and joined the Football Alliance; the following year they were elected to the newly formed Second Division of the Football League.〔 Their highest finishing position – fifth in the Second Division – was achieved in the 1901–02 season, and in the same season they reached the last 16 of the FA Cup for the third and, as of 2011, last time.〔 Lincoln failed to gain re-election to the League three times between 1909 and 1920; on each occasion, they won the championship of the league to which they had been relegated, either the Midland League or, in 1912, the Central League, and made an immediate return to the Football League.〔〔 In 1921, Lincoln were founder members of the Football League Third Division North, and ten seasons later won the division title, thus gaining promotion to the Second Division, though for one season only.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Between The Wars: 1919–1945 )〕 In 1947–48, Lincoln again won the Third Division North title, and again suffered immediate relegation from the Second. On regaining Second Division status three years later they remained in the division until the 1960–61 season, but then suffered consecutive relegations.〔 The club website rates 1975–76 as "by far the most successful season in the club's history".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Record Breakers & Makers: 1967–1987 )〕 They won the Fourth Division title with a record points total for any division before the introduction of three points for a win, set new Fourth Division records for most wins and fewest defeats, and were undefeated at home, with 21 wins and 2 draws.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wins )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lincoln City 1975–1976: Table ) Access to tables for other seasons via dropdown menu.〕 For many years, teams finishing at the bottom of the Football League had to apply for re-election to the League for the following season – Lincoln made eleven successful applications〔 – but in the 1986–87 season, automatic promotion and relegation was introduced between the Conference National, the fifth tier of English football, and the Football League Fourth Division. Lincoln finished bottom of the 1986–87 Football League, thus becoming the first club automatically relegated from the League.〔 They made an immediate return as Conference champions, and until 2011 spent all but one season in the bottom League division.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lincoln City: Complete history )〕 Lincoln reached the promotion play-offs in five consecutive seasons, between 2003 and 2007, but were unsuccessful on each occasion.〔 The 2006–07 season marked Lincoln's 100th season in the Football League; they were the first club to reach that milestone without ever playing in the top division of the League. After a return of only two points from Lincoln's last 11 games of the 2010–11 season allowed Barnet to overturn an 11-point deficit, they returned to non-League football.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lincoln City 2010–2011 : English League Two Table ) 〕 Since their election to the Football League in 1892, Lincoln have spent 36 seasons in the second tier, 30 in the third, 38 in the fourth, and 8 seasons in non-League football.〔〔 The table details Lincoln City's achievements in senior first-team competition from their first appearance in the FA Cup in 1884–85 to the end of the most recently completed season. ==Key== Key to league record: *P – Played *W – Games won *D – Games drawn *L – Games lost *F – Goals for *A – Goals against *Pts – Points *Pos – Final position Key to colours and symbols: Key to competition: *Combination – The Combination *Midland – Midland League *Alliance – Football Alliance *Central – The Central League *Division 2 – Football League Second Division *Division 3 – Football League Third Division *Division 3N – Football League Third Division North *Division 4 – Football League Fourth Division *League 2 – Football League Two *Conference – Conference National *Conf.
