How is sitting in that corner of the Pontoon, which has an open side, as far away from the only other stand that has people chanting as it is possible to be, a good idea to improve atmosphere? The atmosphere died in the Pontoon when people started sitting in that corner.
You'll find the larger the group chanting the more people will join in and it grows. The drum gets people going in that corner and it's not allowed in the middle. Some people will whinge that it doesn't get the Findus going. A family stand will never have a great atmosphere, never has done at any club. Also if you're expecting the Pontoon to get the upper findus going then get real. Also there are some in the pontoon who want to be far away from the chanting some students/unemployed who's financial circumstances mean they have to sit in the pontoon to save a few bob - all in all it's better at one end and a lot easier for people when they go to book their tickets as no-one will willingly ask to go on the left side unless they had a good reason. |

Home atmosphere was OK until the last third of last season. Before then the back-left was a pretty good spot in the Pontoon, Now it seems like there is a section in the middle trying to get it going but still a small core sitting with the drum - a lot of chants are disjointed. I'd love the guys from the middle to sit in the top left I think it'd improve things.
Problem is we start a chant. The lads at the left look at us then either start a completely different one or the same but half way through ours. Timmo UTM |

Why can't, all those that want to sing, all sit in the middle of the pontoon, behind the goal. That's how it was all through my pontoon years and there was never a problem, plus the fact you were heard all round the ground. Mind you, there were about 4,000 people in there. And there lies the problem, there's just not enough people singing and that is the problem. I'm sorry but it's got nothing to do with the sloping roof or open side, it's just not enough people. UTM |

To be honest Lincoln fans were magnificent on Sunday vocal and loud the Dambusters rendition near the end was a very fitting finale.
Mission accomplished over and out.
Our fans reflected the stuttering nervy way we played no confidence or belief simple as that. Davy Boylen summed it up to me when I spoke to him a few months ago, the team he played in WANTED to win every game and fought like hell right to the end. That's when Blundell Park became a fortress and the fans backed them because they could see the effort being put in.

They were more vocal than usual, which quite frankly isn't hard given how quiet they've been in recent times. Hardly "magnificent". Didn't appreciate that they didn't respect the one minute silence. |

The atmosphere created by our travelling faans is fantastic.
About time it was created at home games. Lincoln fans were heard, We weren't.
Richard Broadley will be looking down on you. Sort it for him.
He will always be remembered as a legend
I agree most of the time Blundell Park is silent about time some away fans challenged us for the atmosphere   |

Make no mistake, i'm no apologist for Lincoln fans, dislike them nearly as much as Scumthorpe fans to be honest, but really c'ant have that they didn't respect the minutes silence, there were 800 of them there and one kn0b shouted something near the end of the minute, the rest of them respected it perfectly, so credit where credits due FFS. |
