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


I cringed when i read that.Helgy is normally a sensible poster and when you think of how much money Grimsby have lost in terms of parachute payments from the football league i was offended and next season what will he say if Grimsby fans call for a boycott of Sincil Bank and cost LCFC thousands in lost revenue.I hope he says it was a tongue in cheek remark because he seems a decent sort and much as we all like to give and take with banter anyone suggesting it`s a good thing to cost either club money  should sodomist off with Aryan to Man City etc.

So Helgy, if you got beaten by us your lot wouldn't take it any worse than a loss to Ebbsfleet or Barrow? I find that hard to believe.
You are not our traditional rivals, we are going because you are close & we want to support our team in numbers whenever we have the chance. It is not about you, it is purely about us. That your fans don't share this enthusiasm for their team speaks volumes about your support.

As long as it makes you feel better.


You lot are a strange breed. You have always given us chelp. When I was at Uni and struggling in The Championship loads of Lincoln fans were looking forward to us going down and wanted to play us.

You lot take 2.5k away.....my bottom maybe that was how many fingers and toes you had at the games

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?



I'll be honest when the fixtures came out my interest was zero and i missed a couple of the first home games.
Last season in the league nearly killed it off for me we were hammered 6-1,5-0,5-1 at home plus others and then we get 7900 turn up for the last game and the team didn't give a s*hit and folded 2 points out of 33 was all that was needed.
That season has killed off alot of interest from people and they refuse to pay£16 to  £18 to watch BSP football.

Preaching to the converted with that one mate been there seen it got the t-shirt but being football fans you like us either support LCFC or do what?Plenty here have gone down the Sky route and Man U etc love them for it,we all know football goes in cycles and Lincoln and Grimsby have both fallen down whilst Scunny and Hull have gone up in a few years time it may well be the other way round?

Plenty here have followed the prem route and it's not for me either and yes my comments where tongue in cheek like anyone would take any notice of what i say.
I thought that i could not remain negative for more than 2 weeks and started going after missing two games.
Since Holdsworth has been in charge things are looking alot better but its going to be a slow recovery.

I don't like to lose any game but me personally losing would hurt more, i am not going to lie the past 3 seasons have taken alot out of the fans.
Hopefully we will sell a few more but i never thought you were coming just to view the Cathedral lol.

Glad to hear it but people do take notice of what regular posters say and usually by the time they have added a bit on twisted it a touch ..................well you know?

What I meant was, I keep hearing how we all apparently feel this is a MASSIVE game for Grimsby, hence why we're bringing so many.
No denying it means more than other league games because it's a derby, but I really don't think we're generally any more bothered about you than you are about us. That may sound a bit spiteful but is not meant to!
