Not sure if anyone has seen what our friends down the a46 have been doing but they’ve opened up a fanzone at home games. I was at a game on the continent a few months back and they’re all the rage there, great atmosphere and encourages you to go down even earlier. Reckon we could do something similar? Not sure where, perhaps in the corner of the pontoon and main?

We should have got a short term lease on the imp to do something similar

Yeah......without the dodgy British weather.

Would have been a great idea the first year after promotion to take advantage of the feel good factor around the club, encourage more people to come along, more young fans and build a base for the future.

Unfortunately that ship has well sailed. As much as I don't like Lincoln, I can only admire the way they have tried to engage the fan base and look at the short, medium and long term rather then just thinking about tomorrow.

Lincoln have been really smart in the way they've marketed the club to their community.  GTFC just haven't really bothered.  BP is a pretty unwelcoming place and people tend to show up late and leave as quickly as they can to avoid spending any more time in the place than they absolutely have to.

Just think how stupid the club were to allow a McDonalds to be built right outside, raking in thousands of pounds every game, same with the Imp and the BP hotel.  The club should have made sure they got the lions' share of this cash for themselves.

And please explain just how the club could have stopped a McDonalds being built and also how they could could have stopped the Imp and BP Hotel from trading considering they have been there for donkeys years.
