Quoted from 75
This is ridiculous. We have a ground that holds about 10000 people and we are not being allowed a reasonable allocation. I don't know if this has something to do with that football 'liason' officer or what but it needs sorting. It's stupid that this lad has to offer £50 for a ticket for a game when there will be about 5000 empty seats in the ground. We will have Town fans in the Lincoln end all over the place, it's stupid.
Absolutely pathetic, I'm disappointed with everyone involved. Let's have the truth as this is utter nonsense.
Apparently Our liason officer has asked lincoln for an extra 500 tkts for town fans to avoid potential problems but lincoln have refused!

Whilst I'm very sorry for anyone unfortunate enough not to have a ticket I don't understand where they would be able to fit many more Town fans without compromising the segregation rules. Further along that stand there are, apparently a lot of Lincoln season ticket holders. Now, if the boot was on the other foot and I was asked to vacate my seat to accommodate fans travelling to my ground once a year I wouldn't be very happy. I suppose you could hold Lincoln responsible for the very poor accommodation behind one of the goals but it is what it is. I'm actually more interested in how their stewards/police intend on enforcing the "sit in the seat you're allocated" idea.

Their Directors should be sacked/on trial as it is the responsibility of the directors to make as much profit as possible for the share holders. It can not be that big a problem to give use more tickets.

So Town fans not allowed in Lincoln End? So if I win two tickets on Radio Lincolnshire will I get arrested if I use them?

I would have thought it was the police liason officers duty to ensure the safety of the paying public, whether it is Lincoln or Grimsby people who are put at risk. Surely he should be pressing his counterpart at Lincoln to get common sense in play with their directors and avoid any potential problems. I remember being turfed out of my season ticket seat in the lower findus when we played Chelsea in the 80,s and only a few days ago against Buxton they shut our stand and we had to go in the pontoon. It is no hardship for one game a season. They have to look at the big picture, what are our wonderful constabulary going to do if 500 Grimsby fans turn up without tickets and start getting angry ? If they sell them tickets beforehand and let them in to Sincil Bank, they will earn money, add to the atmosphere, avoid extra police costs and potential laws suits ! Come on you control freaks, we are having the best year we have had for over a decade at Grimsby, and all we want to do is support our team, stop pisssssing us off and sort it Rant over........for now.
