That's me! Take my daughter, she loves going and my mates take their kids too, the next generation and we're all season ticket holders too.The difference in our support imo is the amount of lads who use to be regulars are now accompanied by partners and kids or other members of families , use to be able to have days and weekends away on the piss with mates ,now I have to look on with three kids all in tow ( season ticket holders of course ) ,
Used have a breweryMansfield are in the top 3, yet still they cannot drag fans through the turnstiles?. Is there a lack of interest?. Or did they all leg it to Forest when they tumbled into the Conference?. Don't they have plastic in Mansfield then?
I agree, they complain about our budget however one area somebody like grimsby could improve on is something like our fan zone which they have heavily mocked.Making our club welcoming to All has helped improved our finances and match takings.No end of our there fans were in the Travis perkins and fan zone yesterday with no hint of trouble spending there money at our ground.Would you?Could you? Do that there, of course you cant and would not want to ,its not rocket science is it? Also the legends lounge ,not my thing but there is amarket for that thing and its paid for itself already!I find this topic intriguing. The fans who are having a pop at us from whichever club they may support should spend more time working on how they can replicate what is happening at SB on the pitch off the pitch in the community rather than be bitching about the fans that success has brought to SB. The club is a real force at present. So to CN DC NC all the player's board members backroom and office staff match day helpers in whatever capacity. Thankyou. I will enjoy it while it lasts.
when you look at those averages, if we have some hope of reaching the 2nd tier, then our average attendances could easily be 15-16,000. Back in the 50's we'd be pulling in 20,000 or more for the big games.

Pretty sure the Manchester United post had a large amount of tongue and cheek.What?
Back in the 50's we'd be pulling in 20,000 or more for the big games. Food for serious thought when planning a new stadium.
I hadnt been to a home game for 3 yrs .went to the pt vale game with my mate who had never been before to sincil bank. What i found was a total revamp on the last time i went brilliant atmosphere and loved the fan zone good way to engage . To be honest couldnt give a flying f...k on what rival fans think but obviously whatever Lincoln are doing irks them . Jealously is a curse. well done to everybody for getting involved whether its for one game or twenty one .
There's also this site here for other clubs.I found this - here https://savethemightyimps.wordpress.com/2013/06/08/lincoln-city-average-crowds-1884-2013/

Tbf, I think the 24 hour journey is enough of an excuse!I hadnt been to a home game for 3 yrs .went to the pt vale game with my mate who had never been before to sincil bank. What i found was a total revamp on the last time i went brilliant atmosphere and loved the fan zone good way to engage .

Had some work colleagues in the legend lounge who normally go to forest , said the whole experience was very good and now on about using it a lot moreI agree, they complain about our budget however one area somebody like grimsby could improve on is something like our fan zone which they have heavily mocked.Making our club welcoming to All has helped improved our finances and match takings.No end of our there fans were in the Travis perkins and fan zone yesterday with no hint of trouble spending there money at our ground.Would you?Could you?

My kids have always been fans since the day they were born ( no choice ) but nowadays they all know other kids down there themselves ,That's me! Take my daughter, she loves going and my mates take their kids too, the next generation and we're all season ticket holders too.
When oppo fans are taking the piss about our crowds they do comment about how many families go to watch and how good it is that we get so many families going.
