We could have got a couple of decent players with that,

Oh I forgot Lincoln have WON  a few games to get that,

Unless its the fans fault for not attending the reason we did not win was Slades fault.

Just to add...they won those games with a squad built from the money made from last years FA Cup run (remember those?), in which they won a few more games.
Bit of a pattern emerging here...

It's more than that, probably nearer a quarter of a million with shared gate receipts from 6 games too. I get why people don't want others to go to these games so I respect people's opinions, however it's going to do sod all to change anything whether 6600 odd attend or 660.

I tend to agree with this

Games are there to be won regardless of the attendance.... nobody bats an eye when friendly games are played behind closed doors - the players should still go out looking to get a positive result

I supposed the difference with the Cheeky Tw@t is that it is competitive games we are talking about - it is still the players out there on the pitch though that count and not how many seats are filled or not as the case may be

attending those matches completely legitimizes the competition in it's current format. If attendances continued to be low they would have to change it. Shame on you and Lincoln City supporters.
