1881 Lincoln at Barnet (3161 total).

That's impressive fair play.

That's impressive fair play.

Sadly we were painfully quiet due to the shit on display. Also a number of our "supporters" embarrassed themselves.

 

[Luke Imp]

Quite a few thrown out apparently? There seemed to be a couple of separate, sizeable groups going down as part of birthday weekends.

 

[Davidimp]

Yeah at least one 50th birthday and speaking to a few who were there some were very drunk and sitting in the wrong seats caused big problems too.
We have some who won't sit in their correct seats and tends to kick off because of it.

336 Grimsby at Colchester.

61 Morecambe at Luton

I never go to my seat but if someone comes and I'm in there spot then I move and rightly so, why wouldn't you. Got to be a complete cock to go to someone else's seat and not move if they ask.

Superb numbers btw

Sadly its been the downside of our huge increase in crowds more idiots especially at away games.
They even have a chant about sitting where they want!
They've done this a few times.
Don't go to many away games now as if I do go now I normally take my daughter and I don't want to get stuck near that lot!
Thankfully the big day out at arsenal the Junior imps had their own area away from the idiots.

Sadly so and reading reports of racist abuse towards some of their stewards.
Perfect on the day football celebrated the life of Cyrille Regis
Scum would be a perfect description of them.

Thing is most if not all of them will have black friends or people they know of who they wouldn't dream of saying it too.

I find it utterly incomprehensible how any fan can be racist. Report them and get them thrown out.

Ive seen it reported that there were 1280 Swindon fans at Coventry.

Seems about right, we sold about 1000 before hand & the cash queue to get in was bigger than the ticket queue when we arrived so 200-300 POTD seems reasonable

Especially if it's sold out. Normally when we go to games there's room for you sit where you want, and the stewards confirm this.

A group of us go to games, but we all live in different areas & buy tickets online at different times but try & sit together where we can

[BelizeHatter]

Practically identical. Impressive from all three.

 

[BelizeHatter]

I'm always more impressed by those that travel to support their local often small town club knowing there's gonna be a few hundred or so. That's respect. Much easier to attend when you're successful and challenging and you will have a fun time knowing there's gonna be four figures, good atmosphere before during and after the game and a better than average chance you won't lose.

I'm impressed when I do that and we actually manage a few hundred not a few dozen
Does seem a decent uptick by our standards this season, new league and new grounds I suppose.

How much were you charged yesterday to get in?
Heard rumours of 28 quid at the Ricoh?

I believe it’s £22 advance can rise up to £25 on the day

Ta for that just we'd been told it was going to be dearer than that.

We've got some of our biggest away trips to come still. Stevenage will be sold out, Cambridge too. Coventry on a Saturday could be a huge following (last and only time we've played them at the Ricoh it was about 4,000 if memory serves although that was in the Championship). Unfortunately that game gets bumped to mid-week if Coventry win in the FA Cup which would be a shame from an away following perspective. We've also got Notts County away on the final day of the season which obviously could be huge potentially depending on how the league looks at that point.

Hope you bring a few to Cleethorpes next Saturday, rarely see many of you at Blundell Park. I know the recent ones have been midweek but traditionally you don't travel in numbers to us.

 

[Judge Dredd]

Yeah I wouldn't expect a good following this time either to be honest, the next three away games after you are Stevenage, Coventry then Cambridge, so if people are going to miss any of those it'll be you.

I'm not going for one... swore never to return after seeing us lose 7-1 there in the mid-1990s, think it was about 6-0 at half time yet my dad insisted on staying until the bitter end while just about every other Luton fan there left before the second half kicked off. My first ever Luton game was at Blundell Park coincidentally (we lost that one too, 2-0 I believe).

Just Chesterfield, Mansfield (sold out) and Coventry left for us, really. Then again, we seem to have done most of the long trips - Exeter, FGR, Cheltenham, Swindon, Yeovil, Colchester etc.

 

[smileycov]

Oh right, I live in lincoln so will be travelling on the Anchor coach for this. You reckon you will bring 6k? Should be amazing atmosphere. I will enjoy but then sit in the home end and hopefully enjoy that!!

Pretty decent following considering how poor our away form has been.
