As if the prospect of another chance to embarrass Lincoln next week wasn't enough, Poppies fans are now looking forward to the match in ernest due to Peter Jackson's allegations of 'racism' during our previous encounter at Rockingham Road.
If Jackson's claims are, in fact, found to be true, then myself and every other Kettering Town fan would fully expect the club to deal with them in the most severe fashion. But as it stands, it is purely Lincoln's word against ours as there is no hard evidence to suggest that any racist chanting occured.
More than anything else, I was disappointed to hear Peter Jackson venting his views to the national media. Especially when the the two clubs had just played out such a full-blooded cup tie that was a fantastic advert for lower league football.
Reputations take a minute to start, and a very long time to shake off, and the potential tag of 'racist' is certainly not one that I would ever expect to be associated with Kettering Town in any form.
Let's all hope that we can put this ugly incident behind us and look forward to what promises to be a cracking, if not slightly bitter reunion at Sincil Bank.

There may be the odd 'idiot' who vents his/her frustration at the result in a 'racial' manner. From my own observations at the game in the Britannia Road Stand there was NOTHING racial whatsoever.
For Christ's sake we have our own fair share of non-white players who are absolutely brilliant so why should any Kettering supporter be 'racial' for any reason??!?
