Imps fans vote to keep Dambusters tune
Club DJ Wayne "Casey" Casement appealed to supporters to choose a new song to welcome the Imps players onto the pitch after some fans labelled the traditional song, The Dambusters March, as boring.
But following a month long nomination and voting process to rival the Lincoln City board's search for a new manager, the fans have voted for the Dambusters to remain.
The song polled 36 per cent of the vote run by the Echo, the club and supporters' website Vital Lincoln, and comfortably beat Hi Ho Silver Lining to the top spot.
Jeff Beck's popular anthem secured 11 per cent of the vote with Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones in third place with nine per cent.
The Dambusters March will continue to be used, starting with City's home fixture with Notts County tonight.
Mr Casement said: "We will see how it goes. The Dambusters are important for the club and it's part of what people associate with Lincolnshire. I was never against the song and we tried a few different things after a small minority at the club complained. When Lincoln score we will play The Dambusters March and hopefully the fans will do the airplane actions."
Lincoln City FC chief executive Dave Roberts said: "We are delighted the poll has been run and the fans, as always, have had input at the football club. We look forward to hearing the song for many years."
Mr Roberts also revealed a familiar sound will be returning to the club's terraces tonight.
"We hope to get the air raid siren back in to the Stacey West Stand and that is very traditional with the club," he said.
