Won 3-0
Reverse fixture on 27th Millers won 3-2

That is true Bramley, but not why the fixture was significant

The crowd was so massive they ran out of those ‘orange coloured ‘ sausage rolls.

Failing that they all watched the queens speech before kick off at 3.15

I'm working on the significant bit
Leave it with me

The crowd was 14,990 and they had plenty of sausage rolls left over for the next home match

[Brin]

First time an orange ball was used

[Pattylallacks2]

No, only the sausage rolls were orange

Wild guess - some mix-up with Lincoln's kit, so they had to play in the Millers' away strip

Beat me to it Mike. I remember some olde person telling me that once a referee wouldn't allow an away team to play in their kit so they had to use our away kit or some training kit.
