Just been reading their excuses on their message board, it's just laughable! Saying this isn't a big game for them, mansfield, boston and scunny being bigger games and we see this as our 'cup final', are therefore taking more. All wrong, they just have poor support.
Please they (ain't) got the PLAGUE hehe ........

Just accept Lincoln fans are not as keen on the derby as you lot are,we regulary took 2.5k to Boston and Posh but don't to yours. We do travel just not well to yours.

That sounds familiar.
We're taking 8000 to Forest in the cup and there is the real possibility of us outnumbering the home support. Forest fans believe this is because we're tinpot, they don't care about us and all that jazz. They miss the point that taking 8000 is an impressive show and that their support is an embarrassment for a club that has such delusions of grandeur.
It's an insurance policy for if/when they lose the game and they can say 'we don't really care about you anyway, it's just another game.' Won't stop them masturbating themselves into a frenzy if they win though.
Christ I hate Forest, please don't tell me Lincoln are the same with you.
No because we have never had delusions of grandeur on average one promotion every ten years certainly keeps your feet on the ground. We are averaging 2200 this seaon and have lost 40% of our average gate due to 3 seasons of cack in a row the BSP was the final straw for many. Grimsby average a few hundred more than us so 1800 is a good turnout,we are not in a position to call other clubs tin pot.

When did you last take 2.5k to a game? Any time this or last season? be interesting to see how many you take to mansfield aswell then. Face you have lost, whatever support you think you had, you are in a similar position in the league, yet are struggling to take half the amount we are.

Sadly, there is little difference in hard core support of Town, Lincoln and Scunny now. At equivalent level Town are still the biggest club but the difference in home support would be counted in hundreds or maybe 1k - 1.5k in the case of Town compared to Scunny. I say sadly because Town used to be a MUCH bigger club than either of our neighbours and would have been historically bracketed more with Hull City and Donny rather than them. If one uses 71/72 season as the benchmark as all 3 clubs challenged strongly for 4th division promotion (Town and Scunny went up but Lincoln were top for a good while) - Town were way out in front with an 11k home average compared to Lincoln at 7k and Scunny at 6k. Our historic level of support and dispersed fanbase is why we have such good away support, and why we can get such a big turnout for more important games.
