The Johnstone's Paint Trophy draw will be made on Soccer AM on Saturday 16th August and the Imps have been thrown into the Northern Draw. It is currently unknown whether it will divided into the North East section as usual.
City's record in the competition isn't exactly great in recent seasons, failing to get past their first match since the 2003/4 season when the Imps reached the regional quarter finals. Here are our complete results in the competition for every season since we returned to the fourth tier. Strangely, City were drawn at home for every single round in the 2000/1 season.
