So, it's the middle of August, half-way through the school summer holidays. Now, I wonder why we might have had a few less fans than you might expect at other times of the year? The clue is in the word following "school" and "summer".

Can I point out for the sake of clarity that the role of SLO is a GTFC position not one controlled by The Mariners Trust.


Thanks for the clarification. But if the role is to liaise with supporters (and K does it very well when consulted) it doesn't matter who controls it.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I seem to remember us being shite for the majority of our time in the Conference but our numbers didn't drop off. We'll see how hardy these new found fans are this time next year if you've had an average to shite season. It's a shame we're unlikely to see a drop in match by match figures this season as they can always fall back on those numbers.


Of course he's an ex pongo

The following temporary condition is being applied by the Council in respect of the football match scheduled to take place at Blundell Park on Saturday 12th August 2017 between Grimsby Town FC and Coventry City FC.

“The Council supports the fixture taking place under the stewardship of the Club subject to the following condition:

As a condition of the safety certificate the capacity for this fixture be reduced through no further sales of tickets to away fans (Coventry) with immediate effect and a 20% reduction in capacity for home fans.”


Signed on behalf of North East Lincolnshire Council

Helen Isaacs

Director of Governance, Democracy and Community Engagement,

North East Lincolnshire Council Municipal Offices, Grimsby, DN31 1HU

Dated  11th August 2017


Thanks for posting this. Can't believe the club have still said nothing.

As for Ms Isaacs job title. Not much evidence of community engagement in this instance!

Wait until winter with Lincoln hovering around mid table and getting less than 5000 crowds, now that will be so funny.

Bit of internet searching to establish that All clubs have to sign an agreement with local police re charges for any police inside ground each season at start of season.

I'm told we have not signed ours yet.

Any charge for police inside ground set nationally, this led to reduction in capacity from council on safety grounds.

if club don't sign, no police provided inside ground like Saturday.

Lincoln at home - no police inside? Capacity will be 100!

What we playing at?!

Are you saying the club has said nothing because it is embarrassed it hasn't signed?

JF will be looking to minimise outlay and protect the business interests of the club....the key is ....How much do the police want for having officers inside the ground ?
If it is a disproportionate amount to the risk poised then why pay it ? Coventry will be one of 4 or 5 teams that could potentially sell out the away allocation...we lost potentially 450 (?) sales on Saturday with the reduction...x 4 or 5 games a year x 18 quid = circa 40k max over the season lost in income...if the police bill would equate to more than that then why sign upto it ?
Also considering that a reduced away support in theory gives their team less vocal support and us an improved chance of winning.
