The Victoria Stadium has a capacity of 5,000 but it was not full the other night. I can't see anything more detailed for the attendance.

Why does Lincoln FC have half the Gilbraltar squad?

Why does Lincoln FC have half the Gilbraltar squad? Because it's the best team in Gibraltar. Not to be confused with Conference side Lincoln City (though there are some English-based non-league players in there).

Lincoln has won the Gibraltar League Championship 18 times (only one club has won it more often), including 2012/13, and the Gibraltar Cup 13 times (no other club has more than 9 wins). [Includes victories when the club was called Newcastle United].
Finishing 3rd in the Gibraltar League in 2012/13 was Manchester United, which may also lead to some confusion.

While Gibraltar's friendlies have been getting plenty of attention, and rightly so, it's also worth noting that Kosovo will play its first friendly today since getting permission from FIFA to play against member teams. Although the matches won't count as official internationals, it's a big step forward in their bid to seek UEFA and FIFA membership. With more than half of the UN's members now recognising its independence, it's surely only a matter of time.
They play Haiti today with further games against FIFA members planned later this year. Man U's Adnan Januzaj declined an invitation to be part of the squad but Man City teenager Bersant Celina is included, as is Palermo goalkeeper Samir Ujkani, who has won 20 caps for Albania.

It's worth adding Estonia's game against Gibraltar restores their record of having played an international match against every other member of UEFA.

Yes. I believe they arranged a friendly against France a few years ago to ge 52/52.
England are on 47 out 53. They still have to play Lithuania (will do in Euro 2016 qualifiers), Bosnia, Latvia, Armenia, Faroe Islands and Gibraltar.

Ireland are now managed by Martin O'Neill, and Northern Ireland by Michael O'Neill. Confusing.

Albania are a much-improved side in recent years and Portugal are a very poor side without Ronaldo, so it's not as big a surprise as it first appears. Still absolutely hilarious though.

Scotland were not good enough against a Germany that didn't look like the side that played so well in the World Cup.
I didn't expect too much so I wasn't disappointed.
Hopefully they'll do better against the other contenders for the runner's up spot.
