Lincoln City to train at West Ham ahead of Arsenal clash... to the delight of the Cowley brothers who used to follow Hammers home and away

Lincoln City will train at West Ham’s Chadwell Heath base on Friday as they prepare to face Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The Imps became the first non-league club to reach the last eight of the competition in 103 years when they knocked Burnley out to set up a mouthwatering tie against under pressure Arsene Wenger.

And in an attempt to make their players accustomed to Premier League conditions ahead of their visit to the 60,000-seater Emirates Stadium, manager Danny and assistant Nicky rang West Ham boss Slaven Bilic two weeks ago who granted them permission to use the facilities in the build-up to the game.
