Lincoln fans ................

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

get your facts right ffs. lol

Seriously be interested to see that whilst there on the crest of a wave will they grasp the opportunity and get a new ground?

Something we failed to do in 98.

The new ground location has been identified, and the chairman has said it is an absolute must.
Plans etc have been made, 12 k all seater.

I think it is still a few years away but it will definitely happen.

Quoted from Cloudy

We won't be shitting ourselves but I do think we are a long way behind them at present. They had some 'football fortune' in respect of Cup draws but they then capitalised on it with leadership and engagement.

Splashed the cash big time on wages and signing on fees to attract their targets, better players really, simple as that.

I think we will scrap on Saturday but be outgunned

Think most sensible Lincoln fans realise its 1 game, and a derby game where anything can happen. I certainly don't think we will smash you. We rested 8 last night though, which I think helps. I would take a draw, and look at winning our 2 home games after that.

Alternatively,

we had a smaller pre-season, so it may have been a valued work out !!

That Vital site is something else. If the Imps visiting really want to do some form of irony, how about these paranoid little gems on their site..

Had a bet with a town fan that our lowest league gate at home will be higher than their highest this season, league only

I’m not going either, basically because I got the biggest kicking of my life on the North Shore last time I went.

So there'll be more imps at Blunders on Saturday than there were cods for a home game! What a massive club they are.
Long suffering Imp (suffering apparently for a mere 741 posts)

Just pointing this out as it backs up my view of those fans that I and others bump into in Lincoln, total frauds, popping up only when the going is good.

Just like the thousands that you have lost off your gate, or the thousands that didn't go last night, did they think it was the checkatrade.
I forgot , you must stay away unless you were there during the bad times.

Least I know how you know so much about Lincoln now though.

Come off it. It was the first round of the League Cup v Rochdale at full price. You sell out at Port Vale last night then? The mighty Lincoln gonna call Leeds fans plastics as they only sold 19k and closed two stands for Bolton at home?

I can understand you crowing about your err.. success at being in the same division as us, it's been a long old history of being well below us in the pyramid. Every dog has its day etc etc.. Our support holds up when we're shite even with all the crapp that Fenty throws at us, yours doesn't, get over it..

You literally brought 550 to BP on a bank holiday within the last six years, Lincoln fans can never brag about us being "badly supported". Still, well over half of that forum won't have been registered when that happened so I guess their ignorance is understandable.

Keep it up, Mr Irony. You're saying you don't know all there is to know about Grimsby? What is it now, 165 days logged on here? What's your username on Vitals? Just like to see your number of posts on there, or is it such a shite forum you come on here to mix with the real fans?

I've been here through thick and thin, and a bit more thin, check my post count. Unlike Helgy/Impish you showed up on here when you were safe in the knowledge that you were back in the League and Town were down and ready to be kicked after a shitshow from our board brought us to our knees.

I think most knowledgeable Imps fans know that Towns support has been decent, even when things aren't going well. However when we only used to get about 2000 for home games and being mocked for having that few in the NL it's really little wonder, having 6 seasons when we couldn't even manage a top half finish. I don't think there are many sides that would be able to attract home fans witnessing the crap we had to watch, getting turned over by pub sides like Carshalton and Whitehawk with players obviously not bothering for effort and a club run by skeleton staff wondering when the next pay day would come around.

We got 4-5-6000 gates for the bigger games when things were going okay in league two and nearly 8000 for our last league game before the NL demise, so even though we have suddenly sprung up to a very healthy level, the support has been there on and off mainly. Couple that with the novelty of seeing your home side win regularly, something most won't have seen since the likes of Graham Taylor, and they are flocking back, plastic or not.

FWIW, I think Saturday will be a close game.
