Lincoln City

Quoted from Gilbertswand

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.

This 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.

Really interesting stats there  , did we have more fans at Sincil Bank in some of those seasons when they were getting the 2.5k crowds ? .

Lincoln is like most Town / Cities there are some nice parts and bad parts but that area around the ground wasn't much better than around the Town ground area when I lived there for a few years around 20 years ago - some interesting and dangerous characters kicking around ; not sure whether that's changed much but 'Ritzy's' nightclub when I lived there was pretty legendary for all the right /wrong reason  and would give the old gully's a run for it's money .

I don’t begrudge Lincoln their success in reaching the dizzying heights of the top half of the 3rd tier, after all they’ve had very little success in their entire history.
Welcome to the Fishy Mr Frazer. If you are as old as you say you are , you no doubt have a sore neck from looking up at us for most of your life , as well as a lot of pent up frustration and jealousy!
Personally I’ve never considered Lincoln as rivals , too small fry .
Please enjoy your gloating while it lasts, the natural order will be resumed before long .

No I never considered them major rivals , just saw them as a club managed by the legendary Big Keith for a while that played a throwback style of football . David Fraser has made me think about them more with the constant gloating/goading posts whatever you want to call it .

The original point of the thread was to highlight how much it takes to compete at league one level more than anything else hut has ended up something else entirely .

I spent 23 years in the building trade working all over the country on rough housing estates, especially in Hull, Scunny and Lincoln.
In all that time I had my van broken in to and tools stolen twice . Both times it was on the Birchwood estate in Lincoln !
As you say there are nice areas and rough areas in every town and city  and although Lincoln has grown and the nice areas improved immensely, it certainly has its fair share of bad ones as well.

To be fair though , I like Lincoln as a place . In my younger days me and my mates often used to get the train on a Saturday morning and spend the day drinking round the high st before getting the last train home . I took my lad there this summer for a walk round the cathedral and marina and he thoroughly enjoyed it.
Most of the Lincoln fans I’ve worked with and met over the years have been very friendly , knowledgeable and enjoyed a bit of rivalry type banter but with respect. I wouldn’t want to tar them all with the same brush as our friend David who seems to have a massive chip on his shoulder.

Sounds interesting captain in my 20's I worked at  a council for a while , down south though - the locals didn't seem to like us and getting called 'council wanke*rs' and the van with the logo on getting egged seemed to be a regular occurence . You definitely met a lot of characters though (good and bad)  , Imagine your experience was similiar . That Birchwood in Lincoln was pretty bad I remember that , i have not been there since I lived there though 20 years ago so I wouldn't know what it"s like now - I just drive over all those roundabouts when i come up for games ; that Damons was always decent there I wonder if that's still going

Captaincod the natural order as you call it wont be restored anytime soon any time scale on this comment ! Of course Lincoln has good and bad areas  what City doesent !
I think you all need to come back into 2024,the here and now,Reality and not 50years or so ago.

Well done Dave , didn’t take long. Hook , line and sinker!
Enjoy your days in the sunshine , as I said you haven’t had many !

Why are town fans responding to these inbreds from Lincoln. Just remove the OP and then All fishy users totally ignore their posts .

To be fair Lincoln is a beautiful city centre and has had major investment all around . Grimsby is a dump through and through …… however , Grimsby Town FC will always be a bigger club than Lincoln City , it’s just one of those boring facts
