£160,000 won

With all the money we would have made out of the comp we should have gone for the wins, only problem would be winning those games, but Slade would have had a master plan.

Ascend is playing ner ner na ner ner  with the fans the club has left ... dangerous game that love ... 3k and dropping . Oh by the way there as only a crowd id 2k at Shrewsbury who are managed by a guy who our non chairman thought had made the wrong choice going there

With all the money we would have made out of the comp we should have gone for the wins, only problem would be winning those games, but Slade would have had a master plan.

We would have dominated and conceded against the run of play, been the better team and had a couple of bad ref decisions - that's the normal master plan.

Couldn't care if they made a million out of it. We've won the competition with a golden goal in front of 30,000 fans at the old Wembley. We know the value of the competition and won't stand for it in it's current shoddy condition.

What's the point of this thread, is it to indicate that Slade is shite for failing to win a single game in the competition or to have a go at the fans for failing to turn up to watch his team lose some more matches?

Started by Ascend, so it has to involve finance. He's already explained the Town finances, so we are getting Lincoln's now.

Careful..... verging on bullying the Lincoln fans with such terminology  

Quoted from Impish2

however it's going to do sod all to change anything whether 6600 odd attend or 660.

Doesn't this bit concern every football fan in the land? It's frightening.

Basically, a club makes money (or breaks even, or whatever) without needing one fan to turn up. That's dangerous.

That gives us a sport that no longer needs fans to attend games.

If you don't need fans to attend games, you've lost the heart and soul of everything that sport stands for - what communities and (some) whole towns stand for.

If GTFC doesn't need Grimsby, it can uproots and go anywhere it likes. Dublin, Milton Keynes...

Not saying that's going to happen to us (any time soon, at least) but if you take a broad look at where football was, where it is today and where it's going based on general trends over the last few decades, you can absolutely see why so many fans are doing their upmost - through boycotts and the like - to protect our beautiful game.

I'll never go to a Checkatrade match as long as it exists like this, even if they give us £160,000. I'd rather us earn nothing and keep the club playing for the fans and the community it represents.

The point here getting missed time and again is this competition was set up to give lower league players and fans their only realistic chance to visit Wembley in support of the Club they love.98 we got our turn vs Bournemouth and the raw emotion was amazing for a Club like ours I wish every fan could feel that. Today all that`s been lost if Lincoln get to Wembley v Chelsea u23,s of course Lincoln fans will go or want to go to the game and experience Wembley but in 2018 they are not getting what we had in 98.The games changed that`s a fact is it for the better?
