Hey new forum members.

Not entirely sure. The new Supporters Panel seems more opposed than the previous one. I think there has been a belief that supporters are happy with the system whilst some have had quiet dissatisfaction which is now finding a voice.

Well it must be a very quiet dissatisfaction then! I often find with things like supporters panels and fan groups that people involved are more likley to be about themselves, than the people they are meant to represent.

But they are only advisory, the club don't have to take any notice of them if they don't want to. Like I say, I have never heard anyone moaning, in fact the only time I did hear moans was under the old system where home season ticket holders were given free away stub points. I have always managed to get tickets, more often than not, but with Lincoln it was always going to be difficult for some. And this is really just the new version of Ipswich away where there was never enough tickets to go around.

My son and I wanted to go to the Lincoln match most of all when the fixtures came out. A new ground and a chance to catch up in the holiday period. But I don't expect we will be able to get tickets as demand will be so high.

I never complain because as I've said before, there are probably many more supporters who are more deserving. ....which might please the likes of Cackle borough because I recognise the issue he mentions. Not that I'm especially pleased about it of course. Just life

Did you buy an away membership? I know it would rankle paying the 20 quid, or whatever it is, but if there is a specific match you want then it really is the best way to ensure you get a ticket.

I recognise it is blatant capitalism on behalf of the club, but thats where we are, like you say, supply and demand.

We haven't no, but could try in advance of this match, but given demand the sense is it might be for nothing.

There'll be other games.

Lincoln is now sold out

I buy mine at the start of the season and then look at what is most likley to sell out. In previous seasons I have picked Ipswich away, this season I went with the first away game at Millwall. If I hadn't been going away to work there is a chance I would have gone with Lincoln. Pretty much any other game I can usually get a ticket, I am group 2.

At times I think Panels do demonstrate their own bias. Capital Canaries have disappeared from the new one. That could change the balance of opinion.
Perhaps some capitalists prefer repeat customers and customer loyalty? Doesn't seem a bad idea. Some Panels may like that too as against knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing?

I've seen people online complaining about losing out on tickets to "day trippers" but the match pick is there for everyone at the start of the season. I can't help but wonder if the people complaining chose West Ham as their match pick and thought that because they'd been to a dozen or so away games last season they would be ok for Lincoln too. The system seems to be as fair as it can be, it's just that some supporters have this entitled I'm more of a supporter than you attitude and think they should get first dibs on everything

The club doesn't need to please us to keep our business, there isn't a scenario where, as a disgruntled customer, I'd go and watch another team. And, at the end of the day, do they really give a shit about away games, they don't make any money off of them.

Exactly, anyone can buy the membership and pick their match. I actually like this concept, as under the old system where it was just on ticket stubs you literally had to go to shit games just to build up your points, and it was basically all the same people getting the tickets. With the membership you get a bit of a chance to get to see a game that you want, as long as you plan ahead.

When we have here today gone tomorrow owners and senior managers that is true. Then again they are not 'The Club'. We are or should be.

I had better join you. I was just struggling though with the admiration for Delia on one hand then the case you appeared to be making here. Monty13 makes a good observation though.
