Lincoln's excuses for their lack of support

Quoted from NorfolkImp

yeah, okay fella  

So you don't listen to bias BBC Lincs then, should have it was a howler.

I listened till you scored your 2nd and then concentrated on the main event ahead of me .... surely if you listened to Radio Lincs you'd get it from an Imps perspective, likewise if it was Radio Humberside?

Are we not Lincs then? Should be Grimsbyshire anyway in al fairness

Radio Lincs Sport covers Imps, Boston & Trinity .... Radio Humberside = Hull, Scunny & Town.

Hasn't this always been the case?

Well no, not 'always', obviously
But they are still a station that claims to cover the interests of our county, not a select part of it.

Yeah but we never seem to get positive coverage from Humberside ,even when we was the top club in the county for more than two decades they never seemed as interested in us as they was in what was going on in rugby league.

I thought that the reason for so few fans coming was that Lincoln only took away support to similar religious entities (Cathedral, Minster or Stump).  Eg, York and Boston.    

Our Dock Tower or Cleethorpes Pier obviously does not fit the bill.

Town are in Lincolnshire and Lincoln was never in Humberside.  We should get equal coverage but there was no GTFC to the BBC Lincs interviews, all one way and it showed in the way they exaggerated everything Lincoln about the game.

Quoted from danny pacquiao

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.  

or fickle fans

Quoted from One Decent Lester

It's not really an embarrassment for Forest though is it? Games in the FA cup nowadays are generally poorly attended affairs unless you draw a so called top four club. Get over the fact that Leicester City don't matter to Nottingham Forest. On a Richter scale of dislike towards clubs you only just rise above clubs who mean absolutely nothing because of the almost rabid hatred (chip on the shoulder) you have of all things Forest and Nottingham. Basically if we beat you it is hilarious because it means so much to you but if we lose it genuinely genuinely doesn't mean all that much. In the East Midlands the hatred is between Forest and Derby. We know it, Derby know it and you know it. Stop trying to muscle in and be relevant. Why can't you just stick to your 'renowned' M69 rivalry with Coventry? I know they aint much but they are all you've got mate     

Coventry?  

Take a look on the Leicester boards, we don't give a toss. We take thousands there every year purely because it's easy, local and their support is so poor there's always a huge allocation handed out. The lack of atmosphere there shows how little we care yet they are desperate for a rivalry. I can't think of any club off the top of my head who cares about Coventry.

As for your lot not caring about us, I've seen plenty of evidence to the contrary. Your fans' desperation to get to us when Clive Clarke had a heart attack in the dressing room in 2007 and singing 'Let him die' while he was on the way to the Queens Med, stay classy. The constant racist chanting. The plethora of kids signing up to our message boards before and after each game. For a set of fans that don't care about us, you don't half seem obsessively keen to make the point and your username is yet more evidence of that.

What is hilarious is that your lot STILL see yourselves as a big club when the majority of the fans who brag about the Clough era weren't even an itch in their dad's pants. Your main rivalry might be with Derby but nobody believes that Leicester are utterly irrelevant to you, you do protest too much.

Not that it's all that relevant, you'll be having the same conversation with Notts County fans before meeting them in the league next season.
