Lincoln City

Quoted from NorfolkImp

The last time Grimsby Town FC averaged 9,370 was 43 years ago under George Kerr. Come back to me when you finally manage it again, and then we’ll talk.

Classic response from someone who knows the answer to  my question around credible attendance is something they won’t like.

Like I said smug and actually quite arrogant.

Why is it arrogant, I'm merely posting statistical fact?

This season The Imps average is 9,370 out of a capacity of 10.300 with a lowest of 8.534 (albeit for a midday kick-off) - 12th in L1
Town average 6,125 out of a capacity of 8,100 with a lowest of 5,496 - 12th in L2

Nobody knows what's going to happen in the future or if we'll meet again in the same league anytime soon? At present both clubs are currently in their best positions in years which is great news for both sets of fans  

Fact is, as at October 2024 The Imps are a bigger club both on the pitch and off it, with greater revenue streams ..... this is undeniable.

Bigger club or just better off? Does one equal the other.

This is why your post could be seen as arrogant BTW …

Show me a Lincoln fan under 40 who isn't a forum-post away from having their cage rattled and reverting to type.
Their forum's shite, their away support poor, and over half their support latched on during the Cowley era; maybe it really is quality over quantity in this case.

Blimey 99% of your fanbase wanted Artell OUT a couple of games ago?

Latched on perhaps, but stuck with them during the mind numbing performances under Kennedy too.

Absolute bollox!  Where do you get 99% from?  Some posters on here wanted Artell out, others didn't, and just in case you wasn't aware, The Fishy members are not 99% of the fan base.

It's odd isn't it? Come on here, get rattled by discussions about them having probably hit a ceiling (3rd in L1 and unable to sell out a 1000 away allocation two hours down the road is pathetic by anyone's standards) in terms of progression without daft levels of investment and then start retorting to "We're bigger than  you" and going on about attendances from over a quarter of a century ago. Even funnier is the fact that in this numpty's case those of us who have been on here for a decade or more remember him absolutely wetting the bed about how bad they were in the NL, proclaiming he wasn't going to go anymore and disappearing altogether until their fortunes changed drastically. An ego so fragile that he gets rattled and wound up by a forum of a "little club" his team hasn't played in half a decade and can't hack his team going through a difficult patch on the pitch.  Imagine spending hundreds of hours and posting thousands of times on another team's fans forum particularly when you're not even playing that team and haven't for ages. Beyond embarrassing.

Neareardleyscrossing is alright as a poster, at least he's sensible and intelligent.

Blimey, 100% of your love for Lincoln  flounced out on your forum, you were sick of them losing and declared it was Citeh and nothing else from then on.

Then you came back.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

That is quite a patronising post if I’m honest.

What’s so special about the “match day experience” for the average supporter going to Sincil Bank?

For now we’re a good distance away from getting out of L2 but I’m confident we eventually will, what happens then remains to be seen.

For all your bigging up of L1 it’s still the 3rd Division you know.


Certainly wasn't meant to be patronising - Having supported Lincoln for 46 years, I feel qualified to have an opinion on a Lincoln post. Match day experience, Food, atmosphere, safety, ground, facilities, team, transport, parking, - I could go on - That is what I think, as opposed to just a team doing well (But that helps). I am not bigging up League 1, but it is a very big jump - As is every league to be honest. The higher you go, you need more money, better players, better facilities etc etc.. Players have a lot of choice now - It is up to Grimsby to make players choose them.
