EFL Family Excellence Status

Quoted from The Boys Paddock

who cares, too many families go to football anyway..

TROLL!!...

Quoted from mimma

So, it is because we increased junior season ticket prices when we were promoted. I am fairly sure that bigger clubs than us have increased their prices on the back of a promotion, especially those in the premier league. We often have kids go free matches, doesn't that count?

It was still a bit of a head scratcher I honestly thought Town with a push at the time could have got to on or around 5k ST sales but alas they did nothing. Lincoln showed us the way a year later and that`s got to be the yardstick off the pitch GTFC have 7k home seats to sell marketed right it should not be that difficult . I point the finger at those in charge they CBA to do anything but the bare minimum to sell seats and it`s never been any different the fans are almost an inconvenience to the Club.

I think it's incredibly difficult. Even when we were good, we didn't get close to 7k home seats sold. With so much more football on tv of a much higher standard, and most kids now supporting a prem team, there's a lot more options than people had 20 years ago.

What did Lincoln actually do to get their increase? It seemed to me like bandwagon jumping when they were the BBC darlings a couple of years ago and they've continued to win most games so not had the lull that comes when losing. It would be interesting to know what the club actually changed not involving "football fortune".

A 40% increase was disgraceful. If your gas and electric company did the same you’d change provider.

Kids season ticket holders are the full paying adult season ticket holders of the future.

The fact that GTFC have the most expensive cheapest option  child season ticket in  League Two is disgraceful.

Pretty sure there's a forty point plan of action somewhere online which outlines how they improved the customer experience, infrastructure of the boardroom and funding of the club that they've actually delivered upon. They definitely weren't just sitting there crossing their fingers..

Let's not forget that the initial boost they had was 350k from the South African guy, then signed the Cowleys. That got them to the top of the Conference and funded the FA Cup run, which was far less than our windfall from Mike Parker. The money from the FA Cup run was a similar amount to what we received from Wigan for Omar so Lincoln weren't just lucky, they made some good decisions, were pro-active, reaped the benefits and capitalised on their success. It would be churlish to put it all down to "football fortune" because our club haven't got the same werewithal..

Perhaps they earned their BBC darlings tag by winning football games against bigger clubs. You know, the sort of thing Grimsby Town used to do.

As you seem to back the ‘football fortune ‘ ethos and constantly make excuses for the way the club is run, I can only assume that you’re related to someone in authority at the club because there’s no excuse for this.

Lincoln just got lucky. We only had two trips to Wembley and a fanbase that had raised £100k towards the budget that had helped us get back into the football league. Couldn't really be expected to take much momentum from that.

I’ve read this BP is sh1t but I’ve been going with my dad since the mid 70’s and our kids have been with them since I didn’t have to carry them, our own “family excellence” !

The words Sean Harvey and excellence shouldn’t be uttered in the same breath.

Agreed.....an oxymoron personified
