Lincoln City Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Figures released say 1067 travelling so far to carlisle, which in my eyes is not good. We might be lucky enough to get 1400 but for the first chance of promotion we should all be there.Forget money ,work, relationships they all come and go.but CITY will allways be there for us!Carlisle boards think we have 2000 coming as they rate us as a large club, and there biggest crowd of the season awaits us, so lets get off our bums and enjoy it, as we might have to wait a few more years for the next one????

elhombrecito Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm going. Havn't got my ticket yet though. I'm sure there's a fair few more like me. Reckon we'll have at the very least 1500, which I agree could and should be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke_Ciderhead Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm sure the distance is putting a lot of people off!! 10 hour round trip at the very least..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giles_23_bcfc Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I want to go but can only afford it on Friday when i get paid. Reckon id be able to get tickets that late? Also another thing I'm debating about is, if i do go, id be on my own as my mate cant go. Oh what to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Ben Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Never on your own Giles... there'll be 1,500 of us!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurssey Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Never on your own Giles... there'll be 1,500 of us!!I'm thinking we'll have 1,300 which I think is pretty good considering how far we all have to travel.Can't think of a much worse journey time at this stage of the season.Their nearest team is Gretna for fark's sake!On another point, I got my ticket yesterday and was looking on the map, where we sat?Behind the goal or on the side?I can't work out on the front of the ticket if we're in this "CBS" stand or the one behind the goal.

Lincoln City Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Comments said with tongue in cheek, whilst i appreaciate money is a problem for most of us, DISTANCE is no excuse. Some people have to travel 200 miles each way for a home match.But these last few matches deserve the effort i feel, and anything less than 2000 would be poor.

wesco Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 it's not a cheap day out by all means and the fact that it is so far has probabaly put a few off. I think 1,000 is a fair few to be taken especially as some of us live further away than those in Bristol. I'm making the early start from Southampton aiming to pick the old man up in Somerset at 6:30 so heading off at 5ish, won;t get home till god knows what time., can see why people are not exactly jumping in excitment. Think it may be slightly different if we were certain to get promoted in Carlisle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Forget work,Rightyhoo then.You're right, jobs do come and go but I'd rather this one stayed rather than went just now.I did meet with rejoicing scenes the news that I could blag Millwall off though if I still work 'till 9am but twice in two Saturday's would be taking the proverbial urine even for my employment record.It's true though, were it not such a bugger long trip more would travel. Don't reckon we'll do it this weekend but it would've been good to get up there anyway. It's what I'd call an ''all dayer'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadratinmycider Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 It's one hell of a journey and the likelyhood of us securing promotion on thisday is slim, as Forest are probably going to beat B'muff. I'm saving my hardearned money for the trip to the lions den next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said it yourself, City will always be there. 1067 is a great turnout bearing in mind the likelyhood of us securing promtion is unlikely. No doubt a few will go up on the day so don't be suprised if we end up with 1300 - 1400 up there.Promotion will be secured at Millwall. I have my ticket already and cannot wait! :goingup: P.s - Ive been to Carlisle twice before, do not underestimate the travelling/distance!!
