Lincoln's excuses for their lack of support

They are not as well supported and never really have been other than the odd Season so logically you would expect them to have less fans at a time when they are in there lowest position for over 20 years.However Helgy saying they have lost 40% of the fanbase is no different to us yet 75% that remain of our fanbase are travelling to Lincoln i dont follow is point?

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. [/quote]

Rubbish! Helgy Ive read your comments on your message board, truth is you are a little bit embaressed by the difference in numbers as we would be if the situation was reversedl, come clean man we understand

Does it really matter what you take to another club? I can't do anything about how many Lincoln fans will travel across to BP so it really does not bother me.

Our away support is so good because we seem to have far more "EXILES" than other clubs. At away games at Crawley last season and Salisbury this season it was hard to find anyone who actually lived in Grimsby (or Cleethorpes).

I don't know why but when we were taking 1400 max to yours the same season we were taking 2.5 to Posh and County or Boston.
I know you have lost the same amount of your fanbase to but for whatever reason we have never travelled well to GY.
What my point is the interest is not there and as we have lost 40% of the fanbase there will be less travelling,where as Grinsby have seen this as a massive game of importance.

Another urine poor excuse that it's a big for us because they are the only place close to us, where as they have notts, Mansfield, Boston...
They've not heard of Scunthorpe and hull then??
Looking forward to singing "your support is fxxxing shxt" on new years day.

A good start might be to stop asking fans not to travel here and give £10 to LCFC instead?

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.

We are well aware of the support we have lost,i was talking in relation to being in the league  ,we would take that amount to Posh,Boston or County.
Yet when we played you it was between 700 and 1400.

massive game of importance !!!!

so you lose both games,and that puts you in relegation mire.. i would say its pretty damn important to both clubs not to fall even further down the football pyramid.

i personally dont care how many lincoln bring here, their not my club,and i will be at both games no matter what league/position we are in, supporting the Team i love...

Yes but surely this Season when the fixtures came out as a Lincoln fan unless you were flying (unlikely with your budget) the only 2 away League games of intrest would be Mansfield and Grimsby and i suppose York at a push then when you look at the fact the Grimsby game is a bank holiday it should be a virtual sell out regardless of league position like it is for us at your place in my opinion?Also Grimsby fans have not seen this as a massive fixture at all they have seen it for exactly what it is a local derby and a chance to support there side away from home which had it been Wrexham for example it would not have ticked the boxes for people to travel and support there team.I thought day one when i saw the fixture lists and have repeated numerous times i thought the League had done Grimsby and Lincoln a big favour in terms of trying to get them both some valuable income with virtual full houses and the Lincoln lack of intrest astounds me personally?
