Fat lad and knuckle draggers rip up town shirt.

Quoted from ginnywings

The fact is that we have only really become "rivals" due to our dire recent records and both teams languishing in League 2/Non League for so long. Lincoln were never on my radar as a Town fan until relatively recently. We have been bound together by our deficiencies and there is no great rivalry in my mind. The only time in the last ten or so years that i have felt that true buzz of rivalry, was when we played and beat Scunny in the FA Cup.

I don't say this to disparage Lincoln in any way. It's just how i feel.

Depends when you were born. We didn't play Lincoln much in the 1980s and 1990s but pretty much every other decade we have been regular oppenents.

We have played them 119 times, more than anyone else I think.

Quoted from Civvy at last

We saw the fat lad on the way to the ground. He was laughing and joking with the Town fans.
He seemed to me to be slightly mentally challenged. That’s not a pop at him but a general observation.
Whilst I found it amusing that they think so highly of us they’ll buy a shirt to rip up, I wonder  if our stewards would have stood and watched laughing if we had done the same.
And it was funny when he couldn’t actually tear it himself and needed a hand.

You can say what you like, but I still don't think that's any way for a Mayor to behave.

That maybe so, but they don't feel like rivals to me. As you say, probably age dependent. The younger fans know no difference.

I can remember when Lincoln and Scunny were in D2 ( NOW CHAMPIONSHIP )

With us and we all held our own for a few seasons.

The first away game I went to was at the Old Showground against the Scunts. There were a lot of Grimsby fans at the game and I am told that one half they were supporting Scunny and the other half us. Not sure if that's true because I was quite young and it's a long time ago.

As for rivals, it used to be Peterborough, Doncaster, Scunny, even the odd game against Hull and further back games against the Sheffield clubs. Grimsby has always felt like a rivalry to me, but we just never used to win very often (or maybe that was against most clubs tbh).

Watching Town in the late sixties/early seventies I cannot remember beating Lincoln once. Even in the 71/72 season we could only manage a 2-2 draw at home and our customary hammering at Sincil Bank

From my early days in the early 70s we always seemed to do well against York but not against Lincoln. Don't know why that sticks in the mind.

Hull and Scunny were always fierce rivals but never Lincoln.

Two Yorkshire sides we always seem to play were Rotherham and Barnsley what I wouldn't give to be on par with them right now.

Was at that one, many moons ago.
A good amount of Grimsby in the Fox Street end, really can't remember if town had a game that day but it all kicked off a bit when the scunts started comments about smelling fish and someone snatched a Town scarf and began burning it.

Obviously living here since 1977 it is the derby game for me but have always appreciated that for Grimsby raised fans Scunny and the Yorkshire sides that were the main rivals. Like Barra I do not remember any successful matches v Lincoln until Buckley’s first season when Diddy Gilbert made his debut on a good Friday think about 1988, and only remember victory at Sincil Bank during our conference era.

On the other hand we always seemed to beat Scunny only remember us losing to them once in the old days when I think they won 1-0 with a Nigel Cassidy goal.
