That Huge club from down the A46 have sold out for the derby. Be nice to see a full away end for a change. Hope we can get a big attendance in The home ends

About time they sold out. Hope they are giving maps to all the "new" fans.

Do we know what their allocation was ?

Has the police issue been sorted so we can fully sell out the ground or are we still subject to the reduced gate ruling ?

Situation sorted, police will be in the ground for this game with no reduced capacity.

Cheers for the prompt reply. Nice one.

If we win next week there's a chance we might sell out our end - I can't see us doing it any other way really unless a load of exiles are going to come back home for it which is a shame.

FFS, not another thread about them.

Quoted from HackneyHaddock

FFS, not another thread about them.

We are about to play them soon, so i don't see the problem with a thread on them selling out their allocation.

They are taking 3500 to Notts County next week so no sign of the feel good factor disappearing just yet but hopefully two away defeats on the trot by end of September willl make my beer taste that much better and give my ears a well earned rest!!!

OK, it's a fortnight away.  I'll let it go!

Quoted from HackneyHaddock

Just hope we beat the feckers.

Whoooooosh    ;D

They've sold 2,500 for. Notts county and requested more so have 4,500 altogether if they can sell that many. .. They've been given 1,800 for our game v them and they go on sale from today to St holders.

According to bbc lincs yesterday they had sold 3500, may be over zealous reporting and not that bothered about checking as will be told no doubt on my next visit to the local boozer.

But that's journalism these days sadly.

I have no problem with Lincoln City, i am pleased we are both meeting back in the football league were we both belong. I have been to Lincoln many times, lets be honest it is a nice place to visit, a bit like York, and its only 32 miles away from here, i bet most of you have been to the City a few times. They are our local rivals along with Scunny & Hull. I hope the day passes off without the idiots from both clubs wrecking the day, we will make some money from them selling out, & the fish & chip shops & bars in Cleethorpes should do a roaring trade. Anything like this is so much better than playing at home to an almost empty away end, so i for one welcome the 2,000 Lincoln fans which should create a great atmosphere.

Why are they called the Gimps.

Same reason Scunthorpe are called the Scunts.

Fair play to them , One good season with a title and cup runs has got their city interested.
We'd have a lot better gates after a season like that  ;)

I can understand the Scunts but not Gimps. I know their nickname is the Imps. Why G before Imps.

Lincolnshire pride at stake big crowd plenty of noise bring it on.

same reason they call us codheads

Sadly not Grimps our ground is smaller than SB for a start mate.

60 Yeovil or 2k Imps hmmmmmm great to see a full away end and I don`t doubt a few will chance the home ends which will test our stewarding and Police.

Imagine the police will be asking for closed doors on this one in Cleethorpes until after kick off....only trouble with that is as its Lincoln they are well familiar with the Town and could quite easily populate the non central and estate pubs and local boozers instead to beat the policing just as they did a few years ago with the Honest Lawyer.

Full BP, hope we don't bottle it like in previous years.

Disagree think it's very overrated and not a patch on York, on par with Scunthorpe for the shopping.

Are you being serious ???
I'll give you your point regarding York, I also think York has more to offer than Lincoln but if you think Lincoln is on a par with Scunny you obviously don't get out much !!!

You obviously don't frequent the right sort of, err... establishments. (winkiss)

Dunno about Scunny but Lincoln is no great shakes. For a tourist town it's poor, Waterside's garbage, same old same old everywhere except it's all fragmented and, like the quaint Steep Hill, actually impractical for a shopping trip. That's after avoiding the drunks and the newly discovered Spice zombies littering the High St.
My missus, Lincoln born has always preferred Gy for a straghtforward shopping trip.
Lincoln folks really need to get their head from out their ar$es, it's a decent day out for tourists wanting a bit of history, photos and a teatowel. York's nicer but anyone who's visited almost any historical European towns abroad will struggle to find anywhere comparable imo.

Is just about shading the best shopping destination in Lincolnshire category anything to be proud of?

I've had three lasses from Lincoln move over to mine at Scunt, when we've split and they moved out not a single one went back to Lincoln.

Sold out in 10 minutes be a bit strange seeing a full away end,  when we used to take 550 to yours sometimes.
Now its all changed and looking like we will sell our allocation against County.
Should be a good atmosphere.

Not looking forward to it personally...have a feeling of dread that your end maybe bouncing come 2:45 whereas ours might be empty...

Red cards, penalties and plenty of goals for one team me thinks.

My other half lived in Lincoln for about 18 months, so i visited regularly. Cathedral area apart, it's just a bog standard town. Just spent 5 days in York and the difference is night and day with York having far more to offer and i don't think i saw one drunken chav all the time i was there. You see loads in Lincoln around the High St.

Given a nice sunny day I'd rather do a shop in scunny than Lincoln, admittedly I've not done a proper shop there since my last school allowance but still on recent visit I couldn't help but think how better it was than Lincoln, took the mrs to Lincoln shopping last year and we came back with intercourse all.

As for the rest of the place shithole! lot of new buildings going up but it's all student flats which means more scruffy lefty student to dodge along with the spice zombies.

wish i had a mrs to take shopping :(!!!

2 university's one of Europe's greatest and most visited cathedral's ,oh yeah and a castle. One of the fastest growing cities in the country and a lot of the city center currently undergoing massive reconstruction. Lincoln 10k road race, Grand prix cycling tour, biggest steam punk ralley weekend  in the world and the biggest Christmas market in the country.
Yeah we're struggling for tourism, really struggling.

That's the point. You ARE a Uni town, you HAVE the cradle of democracy linked to the Cathedral, people from round the WORLD travel to see this.  
That castle and Cathedral belongs to the people of Grimsby, Scunny and anywhere else you care to name as much as it belongs to YOU, you realise that? It's not YOURS in the sense that Sincil Bank is.
i don't suggest you are struggling in this area, but as a town it's bang average, with average shopping amenities for a tourist town that is blessed with all the above I mentioned.
You have drunks, criminals and druggies scattered everywhere, along with very poor estate areas; that you lot choose to pretend it's not there and simply point at the Cathedral says it all about most people there.

Can we assume that you didn't attend either of the two "university's" then, towncryer?

Plenty of investment i'l give you that but you are lucky enough to have a forward thinking non labour council, but I stand by the fact Lincoln is massively overrated I've heard many people say what a disappointment the place is, and gimps like you don't help with your xmas market exaggerated bollox for example.
Nice church yes it's actually beautiful but your scraping the barrel with the steam punk rally and as for the traffic fuckin nightmare, it's to small a place for so many single driving students I would hate to live there, should of built the uni's in Grimsby.

I'll be coming down for this game, looking forward to it.

You never know, they might even get a decent forum soon.

That Lincoln Vitals one is awful. I have an ad blocker on my laptop but you still get bloody ads popping up on it.

Quoted from towncryer

. Lincoln 10k road race,

is that something to brag about?  its massively overpriced, and grimsby, cleethorpes, barton, gainsborough, caistor, market rasen; there are 10km races all over the place which are comparable.it would be a shock if lincoln didn't have a 10km, and it would be nice if it didnt cost so much!

Yes, but difficult when they are under the patio! ;D

As I posted before, vitals isn't the only forum. It may be the oldest but there is another far busier one on Facebook with over 13k members. Not saying it's better than vitals, but it certainly doesn't have those annoying pop ups which I agree is a pain in the bottom sometimes. The Facebook one certainly does seem to have younger posters, not always a good thing though.

I think you may be confusing matters. Lincoln turned Red in the General election in June after seven years of a Tory M.P. The Parliamentary constituency includes bits not covered by the actual city primarily Tory voting villages. The city council has been Labour for most if not all of my lifetime. The County Council is Tory because the number of villages and small towns controlled by landed gentry far outweigh the city itself.
