Shame he’s clearly been banned. 1 win in 11 league matches and fans starting to call for manager’s position to be questioned. As most of them have only been going since February 2017 they are, of course, unaware that they are already miles above their natural station. Norfolkimp is quiet too. He’d get a lot more respect if he came on when they lost but alas, he’s got a fragile ego so can’t handle some anonymous people on a forum laughing at his team.



I’ve actually been away for a few weeks in Fuerteventura as I do every year with the Missus to escape the grey desolate December skies.

I was just about to message Hagrid actually to congratulate him on finally watching a convincing home performance, then I noticed this thread had risen to the top as The Imps slip to mid-table mediocrity.

As for ‘Fragile ego’ please make your mind up? I’m either not welcome on here, or I am … which is it?

I’m quite flattered that you’re still thinking of me 91’ tbh when you should be ecstatic that Town are threatening the automatic slots?

NorfolkImp will be crowing cos Man Citeh won


Hardly crowing, in fact I’m still fuming that we somehow managed to lose to the worst Stretford side for 40 years …. although Scruffy Jim’s latest antics remind me of Peter Swales at his absolute incompetent peak.

What's there to make my mind up on? If you didn't have a fragile ego, you'd come on here at times when Lincoln lose rather than solely when they're doing well. And if that were the case, you'd be welcome. I guarantee you'd have found some wifi in Fuerteventura if Lincoln had won more than once in the last two months.

They still are doing well, The Imps are twelfth in Tier 3 which is realistically as good as it gets, considering the size of clubs in this division as you'll soon discover if you come up this season.

The 11 clubs who are bigger than Lincoln City are as follows.

1) Birmingham City
2) Bolton Wanderers
3) Huddersfield Town
4) Charlton
5) Reading
6) Barnsley
7) Blackpool
8 ) Wrexham
9) Rotherham
10) Wigan Athletic
11) Peterborough Utd.

... to be within a couple of points of some of those clubs with larger fanbases, yet averaging a healthy 9,146, means we are still doing well.

Oh btw, I won't mention your pathetic 3,874 v Accrington Stanley recently, whilst on the edge of the play-offs  

Happy New Year.

Doing yourself down putting Rotherham, Peterborough and Wigan as bigger clubs.

3,874 is an attendance - remember when all clubs stated the actual number in the ground, unlike the figure published by 90% of clubs now.

They are though ...

The Millers, perpetual yoyo-ing between Tiers 2 and 3 with 4 promotions in the last decade regularly averaging over 10k per season,

Posh, 4 seasons in Tier 2 in the last 15 years and almost always in the top 10/play-offs.

Wigan have had 8 seasons in the top flight in the past 20 years and have regularly pulled crowds of 15k during this period.

I seriously doubt The Imps will ever reach or top those stats?

We are one of very few clubs that announce the actual attendance and not tickets issued. The recent Lincoln v Charlton game was announced as 8k but i'll be buggered if there were many more than 5000 in attendance

If Lincoln and Town each had a new stadium with about 14k capacity we'd both get bigger crowds than all 3 of those doing ok at League 1 level. Both of us have restricted away capacity - us especially. We were effectively a home sell out yesterday - odd single seats and a few very restricted views (can't see half the Pontoon end penalty box). Grimsby v Barnsley games for example used to be 12-16k if both doing well.

Grimsby scored 3 at Morecambe and only 3 days later Lincoln managed 1. Enough said.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time
