Printing the ‘Journey of the Champions’ for Lincoln City FC

Robert Clark, Studio Manager and Joanna Taylor, Account Manager, the core project team from Systematic that supporting the design and print of the new book

LINCOLN City Football Club are preparing to start a new season in the third tier of English football, for the first time this century! Manager Danny Cowley acknowledges the unconditional support from the people of Lincolnshire in reaching this milestone.

That support extends to family business Systematic, from Caistor. They have led the production of a limited-edition book titled ‘Journey of the Champions’ charting the team’s memorable 2018/19 season which saw The Imps lead the way in League Two and then onto the Championship title.

The new 136-page book features match statistics, team lists and many memorable photos taken by club photographers Andrew Vaughan, Chris Vaughan and Graham Burrell. They also capture the atmosphere of bus tour that saw tens of thousands of fans line the streets of Lincoln, to show their appreciation for the team and management of the club.

It’s a hattrick for the creative team at Systematic, who have printed ‘Impvasion’ and ‘The Journey Continues’ for the club. Key to the project team was Robert Clark, Studio Manager at Systematic, who donated the artwork for the book. Robert was introduced to the Club by his Grandad and has been a lifelong fan and season ticket holder ever since.

Systematic formatted, proof read and printed this souvenir book with the greatest TLC. They introduced eye-catching print finishes on the cover, bringing texture to the iconic images of the team lifting the SkyBet League Two trophy.

Terry Hibberd, Media Manager at Lincoln City FC commented, "We wanted to make sure the supporters had a record of what has been another historic season for the Football Club and to be able to do that with Robert and his team was terrific. They have yet again exceeded our expectations, we’re delighted with the book and we’re glad we could work with a Lincolnshire based company to be able to give the fans something to look back on for years to come."

Only an exclusive, short run of the books have been printed, so Imps Fans should act quick and snap up their special copy, for sale at £19.99 in the Imps’ club shop at Sincil Bank and online.
