Hopefully they give us the full stand after that.
Yeah, accumulation of things pointing to that as we know. People won't go to the Ricoh so go away instead, non season ticket renewal and another new ground to visit.Good effort from the City fans once again.
Funny how we are regularly selling more away tickets than we were last season, yet our home crowds have dropped vs last season!
We can confirm that we have been given an extra 442 tickets for the trip to Sincil Bank to face Lincoln City in SkyBet League Two action.My guess is 1400 maximum
Certainly is a good effort. I can remember games in the top league where we took low hundreds to games even not too far away.A lot of it is down to cheaper tickets and new grounds to visit.
Was the same when we first went down to League 1, averaged around 1400 across the season. Obviously the season after we were taking thousands everywhere due to Sixfields.
We would have easily taken over 2000 to Luton and the same with Lincoln, but unfortunately in this league the away allocations are a lot smaller than League 1.
It would be interesting if we got to the play offs, imagine the scramble for 1000 tickets if we met Luton away. The perfect scenario would be Notts County where we would be able to sell 5000 odd.

In that scenario away to Notts in the play offs i wouldn’t be surprised if we took 8 to 10k. If they gave us that many.
Depends how many they would sell. They got 13,000 a few weeks ago and it was their biggest home crown in something like 5 years.

Well I remember going to Leeds back in the day lucky if there was a couple of hundred there.Certainly is a good effort. I can remember games in the top league where we took low hundreds to games even not too far away.
Love the Wig & Mitre. Good grub too. Well worth the hike up Steep Hill, and the nearby Brown's Pie Shop ain't too shabby either (from memory). Not so fussed about The Magna Carta though, but it's not bad I guess.Agreed.
The Strugglers, Wig and Mitre and the Magna Carter among others are a brisk walk up Steep Hill, and its not called Steep Hill for nothing. The designated away pub is normally The Sail on the Brayford.
No, the perfect scenario is we win the league and are bought out by a mega rich Saudi prince.No, the perfect scenario would be where we got promoted automatically!!
I've bought 3. Looking forward to this, I've heard Lincoln is a pleasant city. I was going to drive but the lure of a place with decent pubs might be too strong!
Would have preferred 4231 to a 442
Second batch going on priority sale too, no general sale until Friday.
Get a match package.
We are however expecting
Fellow sky blues should have a good time though, uphill there are quite a few pubs; Strugglers Inn (my old local) and The Vic (next door) are good real ale pubs and a mate of mine runs the Lincoln Tap House. Closer to town the Cardinals Hat wasn't bad last time I went. The Peacock and the Morning Star are also reasonable boozers up hill, or at least were decent!
Then if anyone who goes wants to see a true Lincolnshire experience they should head to Chappell St Leonard’s - the real Royston Vasey
Nah mate I do mean Chapel St Leonards. I've been to all of the places on that stretch of coast including the likes of Ingoldmells, Sutton on Sea, Mablethorpe, Cleethorpes and of course Skegvegas!Mmmmm in my experience it’s very strange. A cafe that resembles something from the 50’s, a pub that looks like a house and we were asked “your not from round here are you?” The largest mobility scooter shop in the world, a chip shop cooling in inedible beef dripping, a co op where the delivery service consists of the shop assistant carrying shopping back to the persons house who follows them in a mobility scooter (of course)
You are referring to Ingodmells or something like that I assume.
There are lots of (awful) pubs that look like houses (and sell lots of Carling and John Smiths to visiting eejits from Nottingham and Leicester) in Chapel (that's Chapel with one 'l' and Leonards without an apostrophe BTW). Your description, Grendel, is otherwise fairly accurate, but as I probably know several of the people you disparage, and in the main they are good as gold, I'll refrain from further comment. If you wish to rip the crap out of over half of the Parish Councillors though, be my guest.
If you want a real pub in Chapel, head out from the Co-op/Village Green on Sea Road for half a mile to the Ship Inn (my local for five years until 2015) as I lived about ten doors coast-side of it.
Often used to pop up to Sutton too, but most places along that stretch are absolute shitholes full of mobile homes. Inland a bit is a different matter entirely though.
Yes it was. Still belongs to Pete Stewart and family (who also owns the dire 'Grange' pub and half of the scabby businesses down Trunch Lane).Yes I think I’ve been to that pub that was fairly normal - was The Bank really a night club at one time?
