Over the course of the 1957-58 campaign, there would be a total of 58 games.
We've thus far covered the two pre-season friendlies, which were practise matches at the Old Show Ground. To come, there are 46 league games (including two postponements), three Lincolnshire Senior Cup ties, two benefit matches and five FA Cup encounters.
