Where is Gimp Cryer

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Welcome back TC. Participate like that other Imp whose username escapes me and you'll be welcome. But we will still take the urine about those Wycombe ticket sales  

Cheers. Look even I admit that those Wycombe ticket sales were a joke. We have to initially buy our away tickets from a company online and there were so many different amounts that came out it was untrue. Anyway I think the official figure that travelled on the day was 1400. .......unless you know any difference!

Aside from being too defensive about it, aren't you lot questioning why LCFC are using an external ticket agency for a League game? Is this the way the Saffa get's his money back?

I'll be absolutely honest and say that it was a lot easier the season before last at sinny bank when you could turn up at 5 past 3 having dragged yourself out of the pub and just about pick whatever seat you wanted to watch the match!! We had one of those seasons last year that you may get 1 in a lifetime or 2 if your incredibly lucky. This has resulted in lots of old fans who had given up on the club returning and lots of new fans, including kids, women ect. Now believe it or not the only way you could get a pre ordered match ticket home or away up until this season was to go down to the ground and pick one up. Now we had lots of games last season where we sold out our away allocation and if you take our biggest  away game ,Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter final  where they allocated us over 9000 tickets can you imagine the chaos it caused in our small ticket office. People were actually queuing overnight and the staff in there performed wonders in getting everyone  served. The club have introduced a credit card type season ticket which is scanned as you go through the turnstiles and if the worst comes to the worst and you lose it or forget it , it is also sent to your phone so you can show your phone and have it scanned aswell. Everything for away matches has gone ok so far because demand hasn't outstripped supply but when we play the likes of town or mansfield that's when it becomes interesting. For Mansfield we will get around 1500 tickets. We have got 6000 season ticket holders. The club will announce a date when these go on sale and a time, it will be 1 ticket per season ticket holder and then just a free for all on the keyboards till they have gone. If you want to sit with friends, family one person can order as many tickets as they like (as long as your a season ticket holder)but I think you only have so many minutes to do it in !!
We have had one or two issues with system already like a £1.20 surcharge per ticket but would you rather pay that or stand in a queue for 3 hours trying to get served.

Welcome back towncryer, seem a decent enough chap from this thread. I have nothing against yourself or lincoln, I accept at times you may come on here for a bit of banter and a dig, I can accept that. I am a fan of the Cowleys and think Lincoln have done well to get them, hope you do, do well but not at our expense. Although at the moment it doesn't look like it'll matter! Imagine Grimsby Scummy Donny and Lincoln all in one division!

Well the way I see it, the transaction cost of selling the ticket is covered by the ticket price. You have an on-line ordering system it should actually cost less than buying over the counter. Even GTFC have an on-line ordering system. Same principle with over the phone. Any surcharge, especially per ticket, is over the top. (I know all sorts of places do it but it's a rip off.

I have always said I will come on here and be as honest as I can. Yeah I may upset a few people along the way and I accept I will get plenty of stick back and rightly so. I prefer your site to ours though cos you have a bigger majority on it who will say it as is. Up until last season when we had,had some of the worst teams and managers in our history there were too many people on there who would shoot you down for criticising even though we had probably just lost at home to Solihull Moors!!! I will keep it to how I see it and of course we play you at your place in a few weeks, should be interesting.

Quoted from Swansea_Mariner

Conceivably it might not even get as far as the Lincoln game, we'll likely lose to Doncaster in the cup and have a tough away trip to Mansfield coming up, so the Crewe game is key. Lose those and we could be staring 7 loses on the bounce. That might be enough to push JF to hit the big red eject button.

Did you mean to say "SELF" eject button?

Talking of Solihull moors they've just sold another player to a league club, they must have a very good youth system and set up there!

I wonder who was behind that
