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.  


Maybe this was why Cheltenham dicked us around last season to reduce the away attendance.


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.

According to website, ACPO Charging standards are same for all clubs in England so guess it's same for all clubs

Here we go again......"At the request of police, the Broadhall Suite will only be open to Stevenage supporters for this weekend's fixture against Grimsby Town."

WHY !    We were allowed in last season and there was NO trouble !

Is this a Police state. If the Police say jump football clubs say "How High".


If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

Given this weekends farcical treatment of Coventry fans, I doubt we shall receive much sympathy!!!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Steve,

You were unpopular in the army. You're unpopular with the decent Lincoln fans and you're starting to look a tw@t on here.
You've had your dig now would you awfully mind bugggering off until we actually play you.

Ta


Are you talking about a guy called Steve O'dare who used to be on our site ?Was from Skeg I think. I swear to god I am not him. He left  our site due to the amount of stick he got but like I say I am not him, believe me.

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


Listen, totally agree with you but our crowds won't go down this season as we have around 6000 season ticket holders.
If we have an average to poor season it will be interesting how many will renew for next season though. The one thing I have noticed is the amount of females  and kids that are attending games. The club have done a massive amount of work in getting into schools and engaging the kids and that has paid offs. ......for this season at least.

You may have got in last season GM but I'm 99% sure that officially away fans were not allowed as I was planning to go but they announced no away fans the week before the game. Could be just to put off the majority though?

Not able to go this year as on holiday. Hope it's a better performance than last season. Actually, would be difficult to see how it could be worse!
