Fair point but then what does the reference to "massively over achieved" in relation to Burnley town relate to if it is not the implied reference to volume of support per size of town...please tell as i would love to know???? To be fair i would say it does imply that. The problem is you have a prob...

Don't kid yourself..the first goal in both games was key. The timing of Arsenals first goal was a killer. Likewise..if we had got the first goal you may well have been on a similar hiding. Such is football. We didn't take our chances and you took the only one you really had at a killer time for us. ...

I thought I was quite good at picking winners until i joined this. Not doing too well..in my eyes anyway. Currently at 21% and £-15 :o It is just for all weather racing unfortunately but it gives an idea of how good you really are. Only caught onto it a couple of weeks back and it has only got a mon...

Falkirk - Brockville I remember going to Fleetwood when they were in the Northern Premier. Not too dissimmilar to Clitheroe as it is now. Just a clubhouse and some covered shed type terracing.

I have over 6000 points...mainly due to being a season ticket holder since the year dot. I do got to the odd away game but wouldnt class myself as a regular these days.

It was an opportunity though..even though we know the likely outcome with the way Gray is playing.

Somethingfishy

Isnt pulling a player back when he has a clean run on goal classed as cheating though?? The ref saw it and played advantage...an exceptionally poor one as it turned out. The tug did just enough to prevent Gray getting to the ball first. By going down he highlights it and stops the ref playing advant...

Somethingfishy

Would have been a red i would have thought. Then the guy who went on to get the goal would have been off. Certainly should have been booked though. A costly bit of honesty in hindsight.

I prefer to see it from a different angle. There is a lot of woe and over-reaction on here and i can understand that totally. However, I prefer to see the bigger picture. As much as a good cup run would have been nice we need to look at the bigger picture and look at where we are. Way beyond expecta...

What if Andre had been a typical prem player and taken a tumble when pulled back by Raggett when he was put through in the second half? A little shirt tug checked his run and allowed the keeper to get to the ball first.... How these little things can change the course of a game...and history. :roll:...

Somethingfishy

Congratulations mate..thoroughly deserved. A shocking no show from us. Totally out of character this season. The first player to get under Bartons skin..however after being cleaned out early on by Rheads elbow and the refs failure to award anything..it was always a worry that he would seek retributi...

I really don't understand why the pic of the Lincoln player on the floor kneeling over the ball has been included in this?

A bit of new cockney rhyming slang. The funny thing is.... it applies to himself.

I once played on Deepdale when they had the plastic pitch. Caught one sweetly from the corner of the box that was heading towards the top corner at the Kop end until the keeper pulled off a stunning save. The referee (a very stern man who had a look of Edward VII about him..white beard etc) turned r...

B0llocks. Giving no credit to the people who want to see Burnley fans in that stand. A police and safety driven act would be to have all Lincoln fans in the Cricket Field. And not to have both sets of supporters in there. I must be missing something here, when police and ground safety in the Cricke...

Somethingfishy

Nothing to do with the club, I think that it's good that they are looking after their own and still want us in there for this game, even though I think it's a bit crackers. What is a tad embarrassing is you going on their board and saying that it's security and safety reasons that they haven't been...

Somethingfishy

Getting worked up over Lincoln fans is a new low for this board. Its a bit sad when we get our knickers in a twist about how much better our support is than teams like Leeds and Brighton but getting our knobs out over Lincoln is really scraping the barrel To be fair i think it is their reaction and...

Why is it? They have got 15%..we have followed the rules. The Lincoln fans are embarrassing themselves over this.

I went on there with good intentions of explaining it all to them..trying to make them realise they wouldnt get what they wanted. Don't think they listened and now some are starting to get arrogant and nasty and just cannot accept the realities of the situation. One guy is complaining that if we don...

If you hadn't noticed a lot of away fans go for a beer within a stream of p1ss distance to our turnstiles. They also park there and exit near to where we come out. Some even walk up to the Queen Vic. This metal partition isn't The Great Wall of China. I think teh club have created a problem by maki...

What are you talking about? It's been the away stand up until recently for about 20 years. If you hadn't noticed it has a big metal partition in the concourse and 2 sets of turnstiles.With totally different access. As has been mentioned numerous times on here. Looks like the club have allowed the n...

I really don't think it is a case of us making sure we have fans in there. More of a case if we gave them all of it there would be significant security/access issues. I said it all along. Does the no mans land in there move then? Or is the current away end big enough to take them all? Will some of t...

I have been reading that forum since the draw was made. General feeling was they were underwhelmed but many realised we were one of the few "genuine" prem teams left with real fans. However, since they have got the jist that they won't get their 7000 tickets they have started getting ever so slightl...

Somethingfishy

"But 900 of the 3300 are on the wrong side of the divide." Exactly RLC, and I'm struggling to see how they would be entitled to the whole stand if 15% equates to 3,300. We would give them the whole stand to keep it segregated. The problem now being there are access issues as i have stated previously.

Somethingfishy

Give them both sides of the stand and keep it divided down below. Problem solved. It's not problem solved though as they would need to use the turnstiles at both ends to access it. Do you think the police will a) allow the Lincoln fans to split and have 2 points of entry and b) allow them to access...

Somethingfishy

Is there not a problem with the segregation though? Wouldn't the Lincoln fans have to come in at both ends due to the partition underneath or have i been fed wrong info? Surely the police have last say with regards to this?

It wasn't long ago every team we played got the full cricket field stand, yet some folk are carrying on as if hell will freeze over if we give a non league team 4000 tickets for an FA cup game. 1) Since we have had our fans in there we have seen a remarkable upturn in out home record and the atmosp...

It is the 5th round of the FA Cup and a fantastic chance to get to the quarters..I really can't see it being half empty and that is allowing for TV. Price dependant of course.

Somethingfishy

I am sure CT said something along those lines earlier in the season when it was brought up with another game. I am sure the set up is such now that there is only a small door between the fans underneath. The access is also from the side of the James Hargreaves for the section we have. The police won...

I could understand it if we were expecting a total lack of interest on our part. However 14000 at the last game suggests we are interested if the prices are kept at 10/5. Some pure fantasy ideas on here. Giving them some of the Bob Lord? Really? How would that work segregation wise and outside the g...

Is it really worth handing over the stand that has given us such a good atmosphere to please a set of opposition fans. We were drawn at home don't forget. Our advantage...why should we help to give that away?

Somethingfishy

We would be crazy to change the current arrangements. Do we really want 4000 noisy and exciteable Lincoln fans in that end making lots of noise? I am reading that the current away allocation satisfies the minimum requirement. Just give them that. Charge the 10/5 again and im sure we would have a hea...

Middlesbrough fans are clamouring for him to go to them.
