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?


eh? ???

Most fans of most clubs are boycotting this competition (hence our extremely low gate on Tues).  It's to safeguard the future of the lower leagues.
I guess the problem with your new found glory hunting fan base,  is that because they haven't followed football for so long they are totally out of touch.
If we took that many to a checkatwat game I would be dissapointed, because it would mean that (IMO) they weren't too concerned about the future of our club and clubs like ours and yours.
We have had several threads on this. !!!!!!!!


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'

Totally agree with your stance on this competition  and I didn'the attend the game and niether did our 617 group who have also decided to boycott the completion but the facts are we live in a free country and 898 of our fans decided to attend and that's their choice.

Decent signing. See on their forum they think they might have "smashed" their transfer record of £75k

Supposedly was going to be announced last night/early this morning but still no official word. Not got a great goal scoring record but DC does know him well from their Braintree days.

Don't think we would have broken our small transfer fee record either (75k) or at least I would hope not.

I think all the hatred of Lincoln coming through shows our jealousy at the moment, because they are a club on the up, and we are sliding down again.  We will always be the best club in Lincolnshire in my opinion, we just need to work hard and get back to the top of the tree once again.  That said, Lincoln fans have had to endure some very lean times over the years, so I certainly don't begrudge them some exciting seasons.  Just wish to hell we could have an exciting season once in a blue moon.  Looking at our team and Lincoln's at the moment, I honestly believe we will do well to take a point off them this season..............

I don't think there is a hatred of Lincoln? It's a bit of a ballache when they come on here suddenly when we didn't hear a peep out of them whilst they were terrible. And it's also amusing that they're all of a sudden harping on about attendances when they were getting less than 2000 home fans at one point. And no doubt all of the ones who have jumped on the bandwagon will swear blind they were one of the 400 who came here.

But the ones who stuck by them through the bad times deserve the enjoyment they're getting now and I don't begrudge them it at all. It's not very often a club gets a manager(s) in who uplifts the club and the community around it so I hope they make the most of it because as we all know the good times are few and far between when you loyally follow a lower league side.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

It's not a free country. Look at the restrictions you face as a football fan.

And as Rich Mariner said on another thread, yes they're free to attend Checkatwat games and I'm free to slag them off for 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.

Hehe......deal off....

The transfer of Simeon Akinola to Lincoln City has been reviewed in full by the EFL but unfortunately it has been judged that “’in the circumstances The EFL cannot approve the application (of transfer)."




When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
