Remember those local rivals we had who said it wasn't a derby game and fetched 400 along because there was too much dog excrement on the pavements?

Anyway they're mid table In league 2 now so you know what that means? A BIG SCREEN

Perhaps we should move the fixture to Wembley to accommodate all their fans. Massive!

Remember this is their first season back and playing away at Town will be their cup final.

Anyway, they are charging their fans a tenner for this?!? I guess they are only allowed to do this since it is a 1pm kick-off?

Well at least they won`t stink of fish or be treading in dogsh1t or having to put up with a restricted view whilst being too hot/cold all the while being harassed and attacked by the police and knuckle dragging trawlermen.

I hope we get some of the money they make out of showing it.


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

Will we cop for extra policing costs though what with police being drafted in to stop them fighting each other?

Just trying to remember what games/ if  we have done similar with ?

I know McMenemies have screened games that have been televised in the past but have we ever set up a facility for an away game that we have sold out ?

Think its a good bit of PR myself....lets be honest they took 4000+ to Notts County the other week and i suppose on this occassion they could have sold potentially a similar amount for Saturday if we had the room, so by beaming the game back to SB they potentially keep 2500 travelling fans who couldnt come happy (ish), open the game up to others who wouldnt normally travel away and potentially make some gate money cash for an away game.... win win win for them.

Its difficult to do.

I think they can only do it as its a 1pm kick off

I think it’s actually a brilliant idea, fair play to LCFC if it proves to be a hit.

Apparently the big screen is showing the Goonies before the game, Lincoln fans favourite film as it has a few Gimps in it.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Jesus’ disciple Peter, picked up a fish to get the tribute money from it, Jesus left his thumb print on the fish, bless'ed is the Haddock.
