Famously flat? How about the usual way up the A46 over Caistor Top? It was so treacherous we drove back via the M180 after.
It was a night game btw, and should’ve been abandoned due to a snowstorm. I think Ciaran Toner scored for you, and there was 691 Imps there who took another dismal defeat on the chin.
9 visits for me, 8 with The Imps, 1 with City = 0 wins and an absolute pasting on the North Shore … aah the memories ☺️
Yep, that was in 2005. You also failed to bring more than 500 when we were in the NL and played you on NYD. I managed to get to and from Woodhall with my dad for the game in 2005 via Louth and Horncastle, really wasn’t that bad.

That's not bad you escaped without getting dogshit on your wellies.The game mentioned was NYD and you brought 400 odd .On the Imps forum it was a whole catalogue of excuses not to attend only old guard and montrose imp from memory told it how it should be. A local Derby 45 Mile away you flipping get there and support your team cos the codheads always sell out the away end at SB

Which is the best way to get from Lincoln to BP. Otherwise you're going through the whole of Grimsby/half of Cleethorpes as opposed to a couple of miles before hitting the dual carriageway. It was and still is the most pathetic excuse for what was a poor attendance. The number you brought/didn't bring 20 years ago has no relevance to each clubs respective position as of today, but let's not pretend that Lincoln were either well supported or travelled in high numbers until the recent success triggered by the Cowley brothers.

Still find it hilarious that the 6 fingered illegitimates wrote to the National league to get the Boxing Day/New Years Day fixtures swapped as we kept beating them

Montrose Imp and I were discussing it this very morning, at our age games tend to blur into each another. I missed the 4-2 when Yeo scored a hat-trick ... typical.

I'm not, but that was then and this is now, how long it will last nobody knows. I remember Hull City averaging 3,500 at Boothferry not so long ago, now look at them?

How else would we know when Lincoln win a match without them coming on here within 5 mins of the final whistle to let us know?

Around that time the best visit to SB we won 1-4 and not only filled the official away end but had quite a few in the echo stand yet the home stands were pretty sparsely populated..One of only two times I recall seeing us score direct from a corner past the hapless Farman. He was easily motm but for him we'd have scored 7-8. In the build up to that particular game on here we wanted more tickets the Imps wanted to sell them but OB put the mockers on it.

Well we still took police advice im afraid !
Dont think you like been told the truth minger91!
Can you prove these 2200-2500 away fans at ours? Which games are you saying these were please ?
I thought you must be a new fan....these were the days when you used to give us the two blocks of the coop closest to south park, plus some in the IMPS stand. Didnt like us outnumbering home fans so you put us in the stacey west after that. https://www.transfermarkt.co.in/vergleich/bilanzdetail/verein/1198/gegner_id/1034This perfectly illustrates the differences in our support when you consider we always sell out at yours. As well as the overall head to head. Yopu might notice big gaps when we didnt play you....this is when we were in the top two divisions.
