Gimps

Quoted from Jaws

I see Lincoln fans didn't get or were unable to read the memo about the checkatrade boycott and still took 800 away to Mansfield.

A few calling Mansfields ground a excrement hole on social media. Clearly didn't travel away in the conference....

898 to be precise. Wouldn't have minded if we lost, though it's always nice putting one over on the cheating Scottish tubster.

More Imps with tales of their massive following. Who'd have Thunk it?

Nope, I don't agree with the comp, it's up to individuals if they want to bother. Prize money helps but other than that, best off concentrating on the league.

Once upon a time the fishy folk managed to get by on
Town matters, and yet every day or two there is a new
thread on our six fingered bumpkin neighbours from
down the road... haven't we got enough to concern
ourselves  ??

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and we live in a free country, so if someone wants to pay to watch their local football club then they don't need permission from anyone else.

However.

To me - and to most football fans, it seems - the reasons why we're boycotting this competition are clear. While I can't tell someone else what to do, I'm sure as hell free to feel let down by their actions.

And I'm free to express that opinion too.

Anyone who pays to watch a football match in this competition is supporting the long-term goal of the EFL, which is to include B teams in our football league structure.

It's another initiative that only benefits the Premier League teams, and it's another example of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

As soon as Shaun Harvey and the EFL realise that the fans will reject this competition while it continues to include under-23 teams, they'll realise it won't be so easy to push through future initiatives like, say, Chelsea B, Liverpool B and Man City B in Leagues 1 & 2.

Yeah but come on Gary. If it wasn't for us gimps on here providing you with bit of entertainment half of you lot would of been off the end of the pier already......😃
And for what its worth i didn't go last night and don't believe in the competition. None of the 617 lads attended either and are totally boycotting all games in this competition. 898 is an incredible turnout though and it's every fans own choice  but that is the momentum we have at the minute.

Can't you put the actual quotes up please on who was calling Mansfields ground a sh!t hole. Been there many times and think it is a decent set up.  I think if anything they were saying about that old stand down one side which is now totally boarded up . That's been like that for years and I can't understand why they have never sorted it out. Even if they put a small terrace down that side it would make the ground look much better.

We are a bitter and twisted lot this season snapping at each others throats as well as other teams supporters  

For Christ sake Russ give us a win, I never went last night for reasons mentioned. but one hundred percent agree with the view that its everyone`s right to do as they please.

I am liking the look of the new signing which could be a turning point for us and a fresh start to the season

That's one number I'm proud you beat us on. I mean come on, I'd be embarrassed if we took that many to a Checkatwat game. Aren't you?

Lincoln and Scunny know that most teams are acting to save football but they see it as a chance to either get to the final or play one of the Premier B teams, so they can cash in again when they bring out special mugs about how they played them.
