I dont disagree but owners and Chairnen voted for it despite knowing of fan opposition. They voted for a potential short term gain rather than respect for fans and the game

JF was quite clear why we voted yes....money.  End of.

Now i understand why ,in black and white, as the clubs major shareholder he thinks about the balance sheet but its the sheer bloody mindedness of how they go about it.
No empathy with supporters, bullying, cutting out the trust over the decision, the awful half @rsed attempt of an expanation once they finally put their hands up and admitted to voting yes,  "we still made money despite the boycott" and all that jazz.

There are ways that the club can still be in the competition, still make the money but get supporters back on board...vote no for a start like the small number of clubs that did originally....being in the competition against our will is alot different to suckling up to Shaun Harvey.  Be at the forefront of alternative ideas for the comp...ie keep the regionalised element but kick out the u-23 teams.






Yeah, him and the rest of the board are too thick or short-sighted to realise that the club would have been better off financially voting no, taking the EFL money anyway and getting maybe a few more through the gate or more goodwill solidarity spending in the club shop. But hey, what do we know, we're just ordinary people who are fans not extraordinary people who run football clubs..

If we got to the final against Man Utd, and the club offered to pay for my travel, beer and food money, accomodation, sit me in the Royal box and gave me a VIP tour of Wembley, including meeting all the players, i still wouldn't go.


I would but then at the end of the game I would be able to tell  Harvey to his face what I think.

I would imagine Checkatrade are delighted to sponsor the competition, the advertising due to the noise it created because of the format has been immense and their name banded about.
It doesnt really matter that no one goes to the games to them. the name is getting advertised every single time one of us write it and read it.

How much did Lincoln make through winning the comp, going to Wembley and selling out their ground for most of the competition, £250k? With the stroke of a pen, he could remove 8 times that amount of debt from the balance sheet. Benign or not, he wants it back at some point. That's the equivalent of winning the thing 8 seasons on the bounce and having every penny given to Fenty rather than being invested back into the club. We saw that last season when some revenue went to service shareholder debt.


It was a lot more than that, around 600-700k I believe. We voted not to allow any changes to the competition but without that additional money we got from it I doubt we would have been able to afford the extra players we have managed to sign.

In total but minus the usual tax deductions,yep in signing those players we are going for it.

Hiya guys. Thanks for getting involved but nobody’s really that fussed about your accounts - it was an off-the-cuff example to have a go at our shithouse board. By all means, if you want to have a dig at our board please feel free, but we’re not after another discussion on your club. Ta.

I understand the opinion against the competition but £700k extra goes a long way at this level! Would you prefer for us to play a weakened team and exit quietly or play a strong team and win some significant prize money which could boost the playing budget? Couple that sort of money with a decent tie in the FA Cup or League Cup and you've earned well over £1m or half the benign loan.
