I know I'm a cynical old sod but there were two articles regarding GTFC and our friends down the A46 on Look North tonight. One, our very own MJ auctioning off his MoM award and the other being Lincoln involving kids learning how to run their club on a match day. To me, one huge difference, ours being an individual's decision to make a difference, like he did by visiting individuals in hospital, whilst Lincoln's was a whole club effort. Wouldn't it be nice for our whole club to integrate with the community rather than just let our manager make all the right moves?

I know but their board are more forward thinking and have quite a few in the boardroom mostly made up of local business men. Then compare it ours.
Personally I only really care about Town... And I hope the gimps slum continues and are forced into the playoffs 😂

My ideal scenario would see us beat the Gimps at Wembley on May 25th. That said, we must do better off the pitch.

I know I'm a cynical old sod but there were two articles regarding GTFC and our friends down the A46 on Look North tonight. One, our very own MJ auctioning off his MoM award and the other being Lincoln involving kids learning how to run their club on a match day. To me, one huge difference, ours being an individual's decision to make a difference, like he did by visiting individuals in hospital, whilst Lincoln's was a whole club effort. Wouldn't it be nice for our whole club to integrate with the community rather than just let our manager make all the right moves?
I think you are being very harsh there. Fenty did that ice bucket challenge for charity for example. It wasn't all about him even though he stood on the touchline Adonis like with his towel casually placed around his shoulders as he showed off his physique to the minions. Got a heart of gold that lad.

Think the club do plenty in the community to be fair. Players always making appearances and the Manager too. I accept people could say "we could always do more" as you could say that to anything, but I don't think this is something to level at the club currently. Under Jolley particularly, he seemsto be pushing more community involvement/visits.

I appreciate that it's frustrating to see Lincoln suddenly become world beaters on and off the pitch, but the constant comparisons to them on here are a little unhelpful. The club's community work is one of the few things about us that can be lauded, and while there is definitely more to be done, directly comparing it to another club's efforts is a bit pointless. We should be taking inspiration from successful ideas elsewhere, clearly, but there seems to be an attitude that if Lincoln are doing something and we aren't, it's exact proof of why we are now trailing in their wake.
They'll be going up this season and deservedly so. Football is cyclical and the tide will turn again.

Does anyone know where you can plot the respective finishing positions of the 2 clubs over the years? I can't seem to find anything that you can put 2 teams into to compare them anywhere?
