Atmosphere

Quoted from JMT

it was one of our fans who shouted something and started it near the end unfortunately..

WHS it was GY moron sat in the Main who shouted inbreds at the Lincoln fans who ruined the minutes silence.You would think the stewards would have found him and ejected him from the ground.

And used him as target practice for half time warm ups

The answer, and the solution that addresses most of the above issues, is pretty obvious, and also easy to implement.  The club should open the Osmond to home fans, and allow fans from the lower Findus and Pontoon to move into there during the game.  Away fans (apart from the bigger clubs who bring more and will need the Osmond corner or whole Osmond) can be accommodated in the Main Stand and welcomed into the family bar, as there's no need for segregation when there are only 10-50 visiting supporters.   This would also give home fans access to the Away supporters' bar, which would alleviate pressure on the lower Findus bar and bring more money into the club, rather than having people spending their money in the Imp or BPH.   It makes no sense to have one bar dedicated to serving 14 visiting fans while the club is contemplating locking season ticket holders out of their own bar.

There's also a lot to be said for just changing something to mix it up a bit.  The players might like having five hundred of their own fans behind the goal they're attacking, making some noise at corners, shouting for penalties and getting at the opposition, rather than shooting towards an empty stand.  At Dartford recently, we took about 400 and everyone changed ends at half time with no trouble, so I hope the club can give it a go.

The Lincoln team and the Lincoln fans were well up for it from the start. I know a few of their fans and they are a lot happier bunch sine the new manager came in. They are now actually seeing some football and positive results. Makes a big difference.


This topic regularly rears it's head on the fishy and there are all sorts of suggestions as to how to make the atmosphere better. They are all well intentioned but ultimately will not work. You cannot just generate noise. It comes when there is something to get excited about on and off the pitch.

Ginny  like you I, as you would expect living here, know many Lincoln fans and you are right that after the initial disbelief at Moyes' appointment they are now right behind him for two reasons. Most importantly, he has introduced a more attacking approach and taken the Hurst like handcuffs off and second he is a local lad and well known throughout the City so there is that extra incentive for him to succeed. He is a decent bloke who I spoke to at the Forest Green game when he sat mainly unrecognised in the Upper Findus.

However, must say Lincoln have started using the dambusters theme and to be fair their younger element really get this ringing out at all home games as the game starts. Whereas BP is dead at kick off.

Suppose when i went in the Ponny we were in there at least half an hour before kick off and were singing with the crecendo coming as players came on. Now ground is empty five minutes before kick off.

Good points.

Of course though, away fans pay at the gate and tend to arrive early so need to amuse themselves and keep warm while home fans at BP tend to be season ticket holders. With small gates and a favourite seat guaranteed there's no reason to freeze by coming too early.

Police in the concourse also gobbing off in the away end didn't help but yes we respected the minutes silence as all fans should do.

It was well received by those that know him but the majority of Lincoln fans were very negative towards the appointment, plenty of humble pie being eaten right now.
The reason our fans are more vocal is the 617 Sqn lads done a cracking job the last 2 seasons in creating an atmosphere, they have their own section at home games and it's none stop from them at all games.
So it's not just how successful you are because they have vocally supported the team even when we were dreadful.

Bright attacking football and goals = Atmosphere

Simple.
