Lincoln Support NYD

There is much talk on here about our possible low turnout on NYD , as a lifelong Imps fan this doesnt suprise me . Blundell park is the least attractive local derby to most Imps fans for the following reasons ,

* The ground and its facilities are old and uncomfortable
* Stand at the back and you cant even see the pitch
* The pubs are rubbish and full of dickheads
* The away end is horrible with poor seating
* Try to stand because of poor seating and the stewards are over zealous

Personally over the years I have enjoyed days out at Boston , Notts County , Mansfield and Peterborough more

Codheads , dont assume that because a day out at Lincoln is massive for you that the reverse should be true for us .

I will still be there however because I am true and loyal , and this means I will endure most things to watch the mighty Imps

Lots of love and kisses

I have to agree. Yesterday was my first visit to Sincil Bank, and it was comfortable, easy to find parking, and staff were mostly friendly and helpful. I love its history and character, but BP is a dive.  

At the end of the day it's an away game for your team against a team 40 miles away and you should travel in big numbers. I believe you consider us some sort of rival though though we traditionally have bigger fish to fry (pardon the fishy pun).

It seems to me you are embarrassed and getting your excuses in early.

The seats are fine in the Osmond by the way and judging by the numbers you will be taking there will be no need to sit at the back as you'll be able to take your pick.

got some more excuses for you as well

The A46 is a nightmare
The grass is green
You have a very poor away following, no sorry you are a small team with the away following to match  

We are much better at home and so should be grim for you.Agreed about the derby though, when we play you it always means we are rock bottom.You do seem to win very few against us. Hope to see you thumped on Saturday A draw would be a great result for you "Impressive"

Forecast shows probability of daylight too so I'd avoid that as well if you don't want to take any risks!

In that case town fans won't travel enmasse to York, Barrow, Tamworth to name a few poor away ends. The point made by yourself turning up us you are Imps loyal. N that is the crux of the matter you don't have a big enough loyal fanbase that would travel enmasse for urine poor treatment and shoddy facilities, not just nice comfy grounds. Cmon Imps get behind your poor team n get your backsides to Cleethorpes on a non working day! UTM

lol, the ground is a shithole is no excuse, it's not like it's the worst ground in the league.. It's a close game for you in this league, and it's a bank holiday, no excuses.

Thats most boxes ticked for your poxy ground too. As for Lincoln it'self fella- a few council estates with a nice church pretty much sums the place up. And don't worry mate, I have spent more than my fair time with your three holed , six fingered activity centers on St Giles and Birchwood to know.

Good, I hope you hate it here.

You say you don't want to come because of the facilities but you then say you enjoy days out at Boston. Sorry, that doesn't wash. Lincoln support is just poor. That is the reason you aren't coming in big numbers.

How about this then .... 500-600 max, and the reason why is cos we're cr@p and have lost a thousand regulars (including me) thanks to a clueless feckwit of a Chairman, a succession of cluless Managers and thieves masquerading as LCFC footballers.

If you don't win by 3 clear goals I'll be pleasantly surprised, and there is no way I'll be there to suffer it

But we've had the same and we still turn up...

Excuses excuses would love to play the gimps in the play off final next season we would take more than them cuunts if you could only go with a dn35 postcode

i hope it lashes down with rain you get drenched slip in dog sh1t and we hammer you 5 0

I'd like to know what sort o great facilities Lincoln have visited in recent years considering yet have spent the best part of their whole history scratting around lower league...hardly used to top grounds...

Get the excuses in early me thinks...you suggest that you regard Peterborough a bigger game than town wt put more effort, etc into playing town, not to mention that Peterborough is not only a excrement ground but a shithole town too...poor argument my gimp friend...

I'd hardly say the pubs and the area around sincil male masturbation is good, much the same as blundell park, aside from sincil bank now being in the Baltic part of Lincoln...

i hope it lashes down with rain you get drenched slip in dog sh1t and we hammer you 5 0 nyd its coming

I dont disagree that the grounds are no better , apart from Notts , however my point was about more than that ie thre town , its pubs and locals , You are what you are , nothing will change that , and you are not considered our biggest rivals/best derby even though you feel that way about us and our beautiful historic city

Don't flatter yourself. Lincoln are merely our most convenient rival at this moment in time.

Lincoln will bring the support that describes the size of the club.

I don't think you're our biggest rivals, I'd definitely put Scunny and Hull ahead of you. You just our biggest rivals at our current level.

If I am honest I do not really care what fans Lincoln bring on NYD. Yesterday's show of support from our fans proved we can create an atmosphere that the players love. So I am more bothered about our own fans turning up to support the team. Pack Blundell Park with Mariners fans, get the place rocking and support the players. If Lincoln bring 600 so what. If they bring 1000 so what. All adds to an atmosphere Town fans have already produced!

So Mariners fans, get your hands in pockets and lets pack out Blundell Park and get the place bouncing (careful in the main stand!).

To be fair Lincoln aren't badly supported away from home and their reluctance to travel to BP does seem to be consistent trait over the years. On their offy they show away followings and numbers brought to SB going back a few years. Despite Town being incredibley bad for all but one of those years we've taken more to SB than they have to BP in every year but one  - 2008/9 and then the difference was only 60. Often we've outtravelled them by several hundred and once by 1,400. However they do go in good numbers to other local grounds as their fans have said on here and looking at their numbers generally they are a damn sight better supported away from home than Scunny, who've taken embarrassingly low numbers (circa 500) to places like Wednesday and Notts etc this season

i agree with these

Look let's just get 1 thing straight. WE'RE the pride of Lincolnshire. We beat the gimps in they're own backyard. Who gives 2 hoots about the state of the ground/area. I support my football team and that means i will go to hell and back to watch them play. I could'nt care less if i had to stand on glass in barefeet or had to walk across hotcoals to get to where my team are playing. I will be there because i am a loyal supporter. These excuses just go to show what $hite support Lincoln has compared to us. We are the big club with the garbage ground. They are the tinpot club with a lovely sidestand. I know which 1 i would rather have. Ours is heaped with history and tradition. Their's has a lego stand over the other side and a portacabin for the players to come out of. The so called Lincoln fans on this thread are nothing short of embarressing and use the topic to hide behind the fact that they are bitter and cannot handle the fact that they have been done like they were in the play offs a couple of seasons ago. I cannot wait until NYD when we will, again, publicly humiliate them. Bring 100, bring 1000, bring 10000. You will still, and always will be, forever in our shadow. <><

Point proven then! Lincoln support is sh*t.

This is why Lincoln have such an abysmal club with abysmal support. If they arent turncoating to the Etihad Stadium then they are having a moan about the quality of seating and general facilities putting them off attending a local derby.

Well its only 1818 short of the 2500 they claim to take there . Thought Notts was the big one?

Am I the only one who likes BP?  
She's got character, miles better than one of those souless, plastic identikit grounds.
I also like Lincoln's ground tbf but only because that lego stand is hilarious.

Under Sutton on a Tues nite when we were cr@p ..... several times we took 2,500+ under Alexander on a Saturday fixture!

If you refuse to travel to grounds you consider shitholes because of poor facilities, you'll end up being picky right the way to the Championship.

Give me a scruffy hole over an identikit ground like ours any day of the week. Peterborough and Crystal Palace are two of my favourite away days for a reason.

I was just wondering how many we took to Notts for the Hendo game???? A night game at our then lowest.

I actually think seating in the Osmond is good compared to other grounds, ive sat in there before when we've opened it up for certain games. Other away ends seem to have one or two seats too many packed into a row meaning it is tighter and also leg room is a problem in most places, as far as i can remember the osmond is fairly spacious.

just making up excuses, in fairness they couldnt even fill their own ground on boxing day for a local derby so how are they going to bring many away.

all mouth lincoln fans, always have been always will be

We took 2552 to County in the 2005 season yet we only took 1516 to yours the same season .

Lincoln played York about a month ago and they didn't particularly travel well there either (325 Gimps turning out) considering it's one of the biggest away matches. Granted, it was a tuesday night but we took just under 1,000 to Bootham Crescent!

Can't off the top of my head ... you know how it is, you can remember 30 yrs ago but not last week?!!!

2,552 in April 2005. 1,478 in August 2005. 2,472 in February 2007. 870 in March 2008. 969 in December 2008. 682 in April 2010. So you've never taken just under 3000, you've taken over 1000 only three times and apart from the game where you were challenging at the right end of the table (so had a good turnout like any team would) you have only had one other decent attendance (feb 2007) for your "big derby". I make the average following to Notts to be 1503 which is really not that impressive especially when you consider how good their facilities are .

The game in 2005 as you have so painstakingly researched was all-ticket and there were loads in the Counteh ends, because as you know they have no 'lads' hence no hostility or trouble

Boston , Notts County , Mansfield and Peterborough So these were the big games for you when you were a league side      Just shows the difference between you lot and Town. Our big games were the two Sheffield clubs, Hull City and all the other big Yorkshire clubs.
Nevermind carry on like you are you will be playing Boston very soon

And only 129 away to Newport shocking support from us.

Reading the other threads I reckon Lincoln will bring 20,000 all of which will be "lads" in diamond encrusted CP and they'll take over Darleys, JDs and the Winter Gardens

Personally I love BP. I love it for the history; that being all the great games I can remember being part of there (those memories I will take to the grave - no one can take them from me) and the fact the ground has character as it's so old and individualistic. I know its facilites are sh1te but IT IS HOME and one day I want my ashes spread there. I loath the day we move into a ready built, passionless "arena".

Not giving the non travelling Imps an excuse but I can see why they don't come, as let's face it Cleethorpes (Gy Rd especially) is a shite tip. Rubbish housing, no decent boozers and as depressing as fcuk. Any true fan should be able to rise above this though, as they're not taking the family on a nice, sunny day out, they're going to follow their team. That's what FANS do, isn't it? I don't care what other club's areas or grounds are like. I couldn't give a fcuk - I'm there for the Mariners.

I think the reason the Lincoln don't come to ours is pure an simple they are scared. Scared of getting done both on and off the pitch.

But you've just described the Sincil Bank area. Take your other points but that one doesn't stand. I've lived down Sincil Bank and I've lived Uphill, it's like West Marsh compared to  Great Coates. If I want to see my team I'll go wherever they are, pubs and rundown areas have never stopped me. I suspect every fan with genuine passion feels like this.

On the pitch maybe so, if we can keep it to a 3 goal defeat I'll be surprised as our record at Blunders is abysmal ..... off the pitch, keep deluding yourselves

the terraced housing area around lincoln's ground could be stanley street or lord street in GY, the top end of the high street could be Grimsby/Cleethorpes road area,i would say both areas where both grounds are arnt the best. As for Gy/clee having shite pubs, yes maybe near the ground, but head into town or into the market place of Clee and they would be exactly like linconls. The golden cross the only pub i went in at lincoln was a bit of a dump, i didnt expect anything different really.

the reason's some Lincoln fans give for not wanting to travel to GY are the same for both sets of fans, but has many town fan have already stated, Grimsby are our team,and we will follow them no matter where, if its a big game/local derby we go in numbers, just look at some of our away support to the more important games in the last 4/5 season. ie bournemouth, crawley, notts county, even scunny in the lincs cup.. there is a passion among the supporters of GTFC that will never die, it might wain a little from time to time, but if the team shows that same passion,the fans will and always have  come out in force!!!

Personally i dont care what Lincoln bring on NYD, the fewer means less likely for their boys turning up, so more freedom for the home supporters and less hassle from the OB, its the 3 sides of the ground that need to be rocking for OUR players not lincolns

I think Aryan Imp should turn up with boxing kit n gloves and one of the towns older hooligan element n have a last man standing Charity boxing match, then shut the fk up about the violence past n future! I'm not even bemused by the ramblings between protagonists now ! I'd happily pay a tenner to charity to watch the event. Yep it might seem doubled standard hating football violence but loving boxing, but that's my choice to make, being harassed by hooligans isn't!

Who gives a sh*t who takes what were as i have previously posted credit for the away support you brought very IMpressive end of move on.........If we (Lincoln) bring 500 or 5000 (chance be a fine thing) who cares its about supporting your team in whatever capacity....This is turning into a big of my dads bigger than your dad.........

I think Aryan Imp should turn up with boxing kit n gloves and one of the towns older hooligan element n have a last man standing Charity boxing match, then shut the fk up about the violence past n future! I'm not even bemused by the ramblings between protagonists now ! I'd happily pay a tenner to charity to watch the event. Yep it might seem doubled standard hating football violence but loving boxing, but that's my choice to make, being harassed by hooligans isn't!

A tenner? Add a couple of zero's to that figure and you might get on the guest list ..... then again you'll have to have ask my promoter roundballovalhole nicely .

Trouble is I've heard a lot of would-be opponents are having trouble making the 11st 6lbs Middleweight division, due to too many fish & chip dinners  

Or we could all grow up a little, pay our entrance fee in and settle it on the field. Crazy thought...

Good point about the weight limit, I'm sure someone would train for it tho  a few weeks in a sauna (not massage palour). N it could be arranged, RBOH tho probably as bad as Warren or Maloney. I would have thought with your Citizens connections you may have had RH as manager n the Gallaghers as seconds! Mind you CW is at yours now. I'm sure I saw him punch the air when we got the winner.

Am I the only one who likes BP?  
She's got character, miles better than one of those souless, plastic identikit grounds.
I also like Lincoln's ground tbf but only because that lego stand is hilarious.

It's a horrible, cesspit, shitehole... I hate it... Full of good memories though but i'm not really a sentimental old chap so the sooner we leave the better...

Sorry don't know RH personally, but I do know a few old Guv'nors who might be interested in attending  

Actually come to think of it, best leave them out of it, as half of Lincoln are part-time Rags, and I'm not sure there is a venue capable of handling it. Cods/Imps/Blues/Rags all at the same time, would make that Mark Kaylor fight against Errol Christie back in 85' @Wembley look tame in comparison  

Wasn't he in Hot Chocolate before that fight?

The excuses are quite frankly pathetic. We are a bigger club than Lincoln, they are envious of our history and given their current predicament mixed in with our excellent home form they don't fancy it because they fear they'll be the latest I the line of teams we score at least 5 past. Gimps.

Lmao. I was serving abroad at that time n spent my free time training or road/x country racing. Missed a Huge chunk of towns history and most sports apart from athletics.

As a Lincoln City fan (rather than a hooligan twit) I am wondering where in Cleethorpes I will be able to get a hassle free beer on new years day now that the Leaky Boot has gone.

Unfortunately I don't think there are any designated pubs for away fans... The Blundell Park Hotel accross from the ground should be OK to get a drink in and most pubs in Cleethorpes, as long as you aren't in a big group and mouthing off (I suspect you won't be) should be OK... As shite as it is though, there are no guarantees in todays society - whether you are in Grimsby, Lincoln or anywhere else...

Thanks mate.  Might just take the boy to Mc D's near the bowling alley before trying to find somewhere to park.  Maybe a Curry down the Indian Kitchen or Spice after the game if thats open.

you,ll probably have to do what my family an i had to do boxing day when been refused entry into your supporters club!go without!

If you going to McD up at the bowling alley there's a pub on the corner is your best bet for a beer, nearer the ground is a mare for getting served.

flash1 - I really don't get what the club were trying to do with that, we have always let away support in, even Hull when they were down in the lower leagues even after they trashed the pub opposite the train station.  Its usually just shirts that go in there and its often a nice family type atmosphere with possibly a tiny bit of harmless banter.  I believe the Trust have raised the issue with the club as for most fans it is seen as a loss of much needed revenue stopping you lot from coming in. Hopefully there are no hard feelings and Post 5pm on Sunday it will all be over for another year (if we stay up) and everyone can get back to being normal again.

as i told the steward on the door,it seems something this year has been said in a time when your club like ours can ill afford to turn away money!the last we were there both sets of fans drank together and celebrated all the efforts from both sets of fans to raise money for local hospices in a sponsered bike ride!its a shame,but never the less town fans are becoming more and more less welcome on our travels

I wouldnt take it too personally it is and will always be regarded as an high risk fixture and judging by the Police prescence they had intelligence to suggest caution as usual they were miles of the pace i wonder if i should ask for a rebate on my council tax for PC Dodds ineptitude?

probably wasting your time tbh,as i,ve emailed the club this morning with my concerns about the continued lack of respect for travelling town fans!Town fans in general are a good set of passionate and amazing fans but if you keep kicking a dog,sooner or later the dog will bite you back!thats my fear!Town fans got attacked on the way back to their cars at lincoln only when the police eventually turned up all they saw was town fans protecting themselves and their familys,guess which ones got arrested?

Might be a good idea that pal... There is a bar in there as well so you would be able to get a pint, the little one would have a good time and you should be safe from most of our chavvy element in there...

What goes around comes around, think lincoln fans best keep their heads down shirters or not. I reckon there will be one or two looking for some payback nyd.

Someone at work got smacked from behind whilst walking back to his car with his Grandson mind you he is a young looking 59 year old .I have no idea what is going on with folk today in the 80s and 90s ordinary fans were left alone, nowadays everyone is fair game and lets not kid ourselves the younger Grimsby yobs are amongst the worst for attacking scarfers in recent times.I hope all geniune Imps fans have a safe journey to and from BP.
