Any news on a refund for rovrum away?
Any news on a refund for rovrum away?
Could be one we need to win to stay up so might hang on… in hopeI assume that tickets bought will be still valid for the rearranged game. If that date can't fit in with personal plans just contact the ticket office and they will easily refund. Had to do it myself a couple of years back and the office staff and very helpful in these circumstances
Yes me too. This message from the chairman has given me the conviction [ maybe even the courage]to post again on here .
And back to the original point of the thread...
I suspect that Clive's message has been broadcast over many social networks of City supporters and is absolutely spot on. The majority on here will keep going irrespective of results and leagues we are in. We are all old and withered enough to recall far worse times as an Imp. Just think back 20 years and this club nearly folded.
And let's be honest, if the worst thing in your life this year is your team is losing a few games then you can consider yourself to be a very fortunate human being.
I don't post as much except during match threads due to work circumstance, but I will say the forum is weaker when you are not chiming in oldgaurd. Your posts frequently cut through the BS and are much appreciated. Hope you can jump in a bit more.
I thought you were made of sterner stuff, Oldguard.
Not on this occasion Notty .I felt it was time to keep my council for a while .I get quite emotional when it comes to the Imps. Thought it was time to show some restraint and respect to others rather than post something regrettable
nope only vitals at mo, nothing on other media

Unfortunately for the club this has been coming for a few weeks. The chairman is spot on with his analysis of entitlement. Supporting a football club is not just about winning. Some clubs believe it or not spend decades struggling to keep going, and until this chairman arrived it could be argued we were one of those clubs.
What this club has achieved in 5 years is quite remarkable and it's been great to see the people of Lincoln ( and further afield) get behind the club.
However it is now pretty obvious that we as a small club have our fair share of plastics.
We all know who these people are.
They generally have another team ( usually premier league ) I myself follow West Ham but I'm Lincoln born and bred with 3 season tickets at sincil bank.
Even our chairman makes no secret of his passion for Everton and was ecstatic when we played them twice in the cups.
The problem comes when people who are not fully committed to the ups and downs of a football clubs fortunes.
These people disappear as quickly as they. come and that is what we are witnessing at Sincil Bank.
I sit in the Selenity stand and although we are considered to be the old farts of the ground I have loved the atmosphere the fans have created in the stadium over the last few years.
I may not be popular saying this but the 617 squadron have definitely gone missing in action recently. There's not as many of them and they have developed a habit over going downstairs 5 to 10 minutes before half time.
These are my personal observations of a fanbase that is starting to wilt.
Every club has fairweather fans and plastics.
It appears ours have shown their commitment to cause early.
To the chairman
You have done a fantastic job so far.
A long journey has many bumps in the road.
And I love a good road trip
Keep up the good work
I think everyone would admit this season hasn’t lived up to the heights of last, and whilst we look very fragile we have been recognised from the outside as a progressive, well organised and sustainable club. Envious of many other clubs.
Covid has in my opinion contributed to the lack of motivation, everything appears more of a struggle and people myself included have felt tetchy at times. Social media, football forums are toxic places and the former a real disruption to society. Followed by inconsistent guidance, government lies etc the animosity can be felt daily.
However, 8000+ fans on Boxing Day isn’t a club giving up, it’s a club waiting for the magic to happen once again. Look at the Charlton game when that last minute winner went in the Bank erupted, similar when we turned the Fleetwood game around. Just lately the form has been stodgy, the weather and covid has been a real drain - but it will return for the better. The offer of a family attraction now is far too good; it’s part of what to do on a Saturday rather than an after thought.
Lincoln is on the map now, we are fortunate to live in such a modern / historic City even commented by Harvey in a podcast before Xmas. The positive of lockdown is that this has been recognised locally and a greater interest moving from the big cities to Lincolnshire.
Where I am going with this is that the football club becomes even more sustainable in the future with the greater pull of a bigger population, making the Championship a greater possibility.
