The Wimps.

I agree with article
We should ignore them and just take the six points
It's their big game and we shouldn't be sucked into it
Come on Town!!

And yours to

Bill and Ben are just walking away from Blundell Park after a boring 8-0 drubbing of Lincoln when a mob of 50 Imp wanabees start chasing them down Hart Street giving it the big 'un.
The poor lads are shitting theirselves as they run into Sydney park and  knock their mate Mick off his feet in their hurried attempt at escape.
They turn and look in terror at the approaching firm but the leading Gimp screeches to a halt, holds his arms out to stop the rampaging mob behind him and says.
"balderdash, there's three of them, leg it lads, it's a flipping ambush!"

We should be careful not to upset the Gimps or they will all go blubbering to the Police like they did when Elding thrust his hips at them MJ style.

Ive got a friend who is a L.C.F.C. supporter who walking away from a match one day found a season ticket on the floor.
After some thought about what to do he decided to nailed it to the gate.

Next match when he looked someone had stolen the nail.

I had both his beautiful strikes on to be fair.

You get the Echo in Grimsby?

I'll ask Sam Morris about that when I play football with him tomorrow lol.

With regards Lincoln.  I couldn't give a crap about them in all honesty.

The way they mocked us when we were relegated stuck in the throat for a bit but I got over it.  They see us as their big rival so it's only natural they would take a rare opportunity to lord it over us.  I struggled to hide a wry smile 12 months later when they choked in front of their own fans to avoid the dreaded drop themselves.

The last few seasons the two derby games have been a bit of extra spice to the season and of course it's always nice to get one over on your local rivals.  In all honesty though I've never seen Lincoln as a local rival, more of a little brother you ruffle the hair of and wish the best.  Someone who we sent our cast-off players too and hoped they had more success further down the road than they had here.    Barnsley and the Sheffield clubs are who I always saw as our rivals.  Lincoln, Scunny, Donny and even Hull were usually at least a league below us.  The only chance to play them was in cup competitions or pre-season.  Yes times have changed but it's still hard to view Lincoln as an actual rival, just because they're geographically close to us.    Even when we were in League Two together and in play-off battles, I saw Wycombe as more of a rival side.  Rivalries go deeper than just miles between the clubs.

It was brilliant to have that little bit of a thing over Lincoln in recent years where they kept collapsing at Sincil Bank and it was a bit of a disappointment for them to do the double over us last season.   That said I'll happily take two 5-0 defeats in both games if it means we're crowned Champions.

This season is about one thing - finishing first.  At this moment in time I want us to beat Lincoln as much as I want us to beat Welling, Boreham Wood, Gateshead, everyone.  

I doubt the Echo is sold in Grimsby, but then I live in Lincoln, which is why I'm so clued up on the spiteful nature of the clubs fans. Must add it's not all of them, the older generation have a sensible, even knowledgeable outlook on the rivalry, and football in general.
Nothing against you Helgy, you do your best to keep things balanced, but there are those on Rivals who have insisted that IF Lincoln had ever got to the higher divisions they'd be bigger than GTFC, and WHEN they do this, IF they ever do that....so many years of excuses for everything, a set of fans who dare not face up to anything. If they do get get banned from Rivals.

Diehard mentioned the stick/abuse we got when Lincoln fans flooded this and every other GTFC forum to mock, a year later you followed us down yet closed your forum to new posters for a few days. FFS, take these things on the chin, you may become better and stronger for it.

We could take the two respective crowdfunders as a decent yardstick. Over £100,000 to your  £18,000 is a pretty comprehensive answer, though I'm sure there are some prize winning excuses as to the difference in totals.

Agree with Robo that most of my generation, older guys, rivalry is friendly banter & they are not upset by a town victory unless it is against them. Quite funny last night as I was in the Strugglers and Chairman Bob Dorrian was in with two Lincoln fans fawning all over him.

Early reports on their style of play in friiendlies is that the norm prevails and big men with a big boot.

Sadly will miss game here as I will be on holiday, a number of locals are dreading us getting off to a flyer as they fear the number of fans that will turn up for a Saturday afternoon fixture on a hot August day.
