We had 910 at Salford on a Friday night after back to back defeats so.........


So.... Well done Mickey, it is a good following, closer, by about an hour, and 40 miles, but it is a good following..

I was just a little surprised by your following to Mansfield, even though 1200 is still very good.

I think Mansfield is largely regarded the worst awayday on the calendar certainly out the local games The Police insist on total overkill .

I can understand that, to be fair I’m the first to admit Town’s away support has always been better than The Imps.

Under the Cowley’s the numbers were great, 5,500 at MK Dons for the title decider, 3,300 midweek at Coventry* … those days are long gone, probably forever.

*my personal ever favourite beating Mark Robins Cov 4-2 with Rheady scoring the best goal I’ve ever seen from an Imps player.

Hope Artell turns things round for you personally mate, I remember getting beat by Barnet 0-6 way back in the day, not nice.

I'm sat on the fence regarding DA at present. My own view is he's inherited a poor squad with a handful of quality players so let's see what happens after January. The only criticism is trying to play like Man City with players like Waterfall, Green, Clifton who are all battlers rather than passing players is asking for trouble. The season has been a huge disappointment thus far I was expecting a play off challenge and despite what's being said now I was far from alone in August.

And what’s more a ridiculous comparison, with Lincoln at Derby. 12.30 Boxing Day at Mansfield where we have n played times in the last 10 years or a 60 mile trip to a former Premiership ground. We took 1,800 to Derby on our last visit, apart from the Prem Reserves trophy, for a League Cup Round 1 game.

The Jabara family are now the largest shareholder in Lincoln.

Interesting insight from Liam Scully, Lincoln's CEO here - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0h6s80p

Very much seems to be that they're justifying the losses as it's part of future proofing.  Not sure I quite agree with that approach but then I'm neither a football CEO nor an investor in football either.

Towards the end of the interview he talks about having players out there who've previously left the club but they expect that they'll get sell-on fees coming in soon.  This is exactly what I think we're trying to do, certainly with Conteh.

I think I read somewhere that they had lost £6 million over the previous four years now another £2.6m.

So £8.6 million down the pan and they are mid table L1. As we have seen countless times, the willingness of owners to keep pumping millions into a football club year after year usually comes to an end at some point with dire consequences for the club.

I do wonder what the game plan is for the owners. Do they simply have money to burn or is there some strategy to somehow turn a profit on their investment?
