Your support makes all the difference.Danny Cowley and his Lincoln team will aim to "achieve the impossible" again when they take on Burnley this weekend but the Imps boss believes their FA Cup run - whenever it ends - will stand the club in good stead for the future.
Cowley has guided National League leaders Lincoln to the fifth round for the first time in 130 years and at Turf Moor on Saturday they will attempt to become the first non-league side to reach the quarter-finals since the competition's current format was instigated in 1925.
Lincoln City have no fresh injury problems but Lee Beevers remains out with a long-term knee injury.
Burnley are without Robbie Brady and Jeff Hendrick for their FA Cup fifth round clash against National League leaders Lincoln.
Brady is cup-tied having played for Norwich earlier in the competition, while Hendrick serves the second match of a three-game suspension.
Steven Defour (hamstring) is still out and Johann Berg Gudmundsson is fit to return, while the likes of Jon Flanagan, James Tarkowski, Tendayi Darikwa, Scott Arfield and Sam Vokes can all expect recalls.

Saturday's FA Cup fixtures:
12.30pm: Burnley v. Lincoln City
3.00pm: Huddersfield v. Man City
3.00pm: Middlesbrough v. Oxford Utd
3.00pm: Millwall v. Leicester
3.00pm: Wolverhampton v. Chelsea
42 mins: Kortney Hause is a great name. It's the best I can come up with at the moment.
45 mins: It's a stop-start affair now with Jonathan Moss' whistle getting a proper workout. In two minutes, it will at least get the respite of half-time.
45+1 mins: In the first of those two minutes of added on time, Diego Costa passes up a half-chance. With his back to goal, the striker was first to Victor Moses whipped cross, but only managed to flick it over on the turn.
SECOND HALF KICK-OFF: Neither Wolves or Chelsea have made any changes as the Premier League outfit kick-off the second half. However, it was the Championship team that begun the first period on top, and it looks a similar story once more as the hosts win possession and immediately go on the offensive. Is there any more magic left in the FA Cup this Saturday?
49 mins: Fielded in an unnatural wing-back position, Pedro has just suffered the ignominy of being skinned by Helder Costa and the punishment of being yellow carded once he had cynically taken his opponent down. Chelsea are not looking comfortable at the back.
52 mins: Wolves supporters are certainly getting value out of Pedro on the left touchline. The Spanish international has just failed to reach a lofted pass from Cesc Fabregas, allowing it to roll out for a throw-in. It wasn't even Pedro's fault, the ball was too high and long, but let's not allow facts to get in the way of a good barracking.
