City have successfully extended Marcus Richardson's loan from Hartlepool United for another month. Also, a player will be playing his 2nd game against the Imps in the space of a week.

Keith has finally got his man to stay an Imp for at least another month. Marcus Richardson got off to a slow start, not scoring until last week's 2-0 win over Southend. He also scored the equaliser in the 2-1 win over Kidderminster at the weekend.

Richardson will now be an Imps until the 19th of October giving the player, 6 games to furthur impress Keith Alexander and try and convince him to let him stay another month, or even make the move permanent.

However, it will be a far from easy 6 games. These games include home games against Rochdale, Northampton, Telford (LDV) and HUddersfield Town. The other games being away at Swansea and Scunthorpe.

Also, in an interesting twist. Last week, Kidderminster signed Mikael Antoine-Curier in time for the game against the Imps. He had signed on non-contract terms which means he could walk out at any time. He played 27 minutes against the Imps. On Monday, he failed to turn up for training and the next thing Kidderminster knew, he had signed for the Imp's next opponents, Rochdale. He must just like playing against us.
