That's fair enough RoboCod, I was at Eastleigh and our fans were a different class, as they often are

Yeah the numbers at far outposts like Dover have been truly outstanding these last few years, if remember rightly we have even outnumbered the home fans sometimes at place like these despite being several hours from our home base!

Given the support Lincoln muster, that was a good turnout for them last night, so fair play.

For the loyal exiles, the Southern games are their home games, and the noise they make as an organised fan base, who must at least know many of the regulars by sight is immense.
It's great to listen and hear that support over the airwaves from broadcasts, that really should be reciprocated at home games, instead of constantly hearing bad comments about every tiny slip up by our guys.
I bet we've all got one moaner near to us in whichever stand we watch from at home games.
All trained in discretion by that well known motivator Rob Scott - has everyone actually seen that Linked in profile ??
Talk about total delusion !!
I defy anyone not to laugh after reading the profile of him - obviously never met Paul Hurst in his life !!

I see that they've signed striker Nathan Blissett on loan from Bristol Rovers.

To be fair the dissenting moaners in my area of Pontoon seem to be extremely minimal nowadays, there certainly is a feel of patience and togetherness no doubt brought on by the fact everyone can clearly see all eleven in Black and White are triers and truly care. Unfortunately Tondeur and Co. are housed in the Main Stand where there are a few who love nothing more than to loudly heckle the whomever they see fit, the opposition dugout or match officials, okay, if you must, but also the home dugout and players should they feel the need. And nobody in there likes to sing. I've been in there once or twice and the atmosphere was poison, people pay their money and people will do as they please but counterproductive in my eyes. The Pontoon try their best to get it going but the acoustics are awful -we'd really be better off in the Osmond which more like an echoing cave. And to be fair the Findus seems to be a lot more atmospheric singing wise than I've ever known it in the last twenty years, but again they wide open. Would be nice to see some movement on this safe standing they talked about (price it up and start a Crowdfunder )!

Hearing rumours something has happened with Liam Hearn and he has had a bust up, played his last game for Lincoln City by all accounts. But we await confirmation

That's not like our Liam... maybe fat boy Rhead stood on his toes in training?

DaveC, no problem, it just seemed a very odd claim give that the only thing that has remained constant in Towns recent topsy turvy footballing world is their extraordinary away support. Might sound cliched but there's also the quality of that support. Read on the Gimps board that while it was a good turnout it added little as they were pinned back in their own half for most of the second half and they were subdued. That sounds like a bunch of 300 fans who are not used to being together, and there's the problem with the bandwagon jumpers.
At Eastleigh (and I think you may have been there to witness this) the Town fans were deafening, even at 0-0. I don't get to many away games but I could not believe how loud the Town fans sounded on the radio! An away win is great but it's always good to hear the opposition home fans praise our support and the noise they made.
We have a lot of London bases imps , at Barnet we took more than 500 both seasons. Last seasons turnout at Barnet was more than we took to yours & don't ask me why it baffles me.

Think Hearn's on his way to Barrow on loan from what they say. Very odd move, would add to the fall out theory.
