Ron Fowler: How Lincoln City’s underdog spirit drew in former MLB owner

Former Lincoln City investor Ron Fowler has spoken about what attracted him to the club, pointing to its local identity and links to the community. In an interview with the BBC, Fowler said Lincoln’s appeal lay in the sense of community around the club and what he described as its ability to “punch above its weight”. Lincoln City plays its home matches at Sincil Bank, which remains a focal point for supporters on matchdays. Fowler’s remarks highlighted the importance of the club’s local character to those involved with it, including people from outside the county. Supporters in Lincolnshire will now be watching to see what Fowler’s involvement means for the club in the coming seasons, both on the pitch and in maintaining the community feel around the team.
