Mansfield game

[Padge_DRFC]

Now confirmed as Saturday 3pm.

Also tenner a ticket. Well done both teams on agreeing that. Hopefully word will spread and get a decent crowd in. We're not bad to watch at home as well.

Excellent! Well done the club for this. Should improve the attendance from both sides i would have thought. Looking forward to the game actually. Respite from the league and a game against a side who we should be able to beat just about, but who will be backed by a sizeable away following to make up for that. Intriguing but nervous at the same time.

[normal rules]

3pm. ? Syp will be happy.

[Sammy Chung was King]

Well done to the club for listening if they hadn’t already decided. Hope we get ten thousand plus in.

[donnievic]

No chance

[Padge_DRFC]

Down to the fans again to promote this.

[Sammy Chung was King]

No chance

You never know, Vic.

[Padge_DRFC]

We just need to get 7.5k home fans in. They might get 2.5k at these prices  A win on Saturday and a bit of letting people know it's possible

If Rovers were to win and get the dream third round draw then ticket preference for the third round should perhaps go to those who attended the Mansfield and Scunny games first and then secondly, who ever attended the Mansfield game.
That might encourage people to buy tickets for the second round match.

Stags took 1355 to Sunderland, they have an allocation of 2000 for us,, my mate a lifelong Stags supporter reckons they will easily sell their allocation. Question then is will they get another allocation?

There's no reason why they shouldn't.

I might be wrong, mate, but I believe ST holders get first dibs for FA Cup tickets.

Yes they do of course SS.
My thoughts could still be applied after STs get first dibs.

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

Got our tickets today. Actually really looking forward to this game. Not often that can be said about playing Mansfield. 

[Bailey Vickerage]

Apparently they’re being given another 1200 tickets after selling the initial 2500 out before general sale.

Oh great. They will have close to half of the total fans in the ground then. Should make it easier for our team, not.

teckon there will be 9500 there so really only about a 1/3

  I thought the backing our fans, especially the Black Bank at the back of the goal was fantastic yesterday, much more vocal than Lincoln's support.

[drfchound]

To say they have nearly 3000 fans in their end i have to say i hardly heard them from my spot in the South Stand.

[selby]

  As you know hound I sit in the West Stand, The support of the Black Bank was the best I have heard for ages, led by the drummer who must have been knackered at the end of the game.
  I thought it was great and hope it becomes a feature of our home games.

Brian, i was talking about the Lincoln fans mate.
Perhaps i should have made that clearer.

[selby]

  Sorry Hound, I knew you were I was just praising our fans your intensions were clear to me mate. The drummer really got them going, the Lincoln fans for their part were quiet compared with the Black Bank.

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

Agree about the Lincoln fans. Surprisingly subdued to be kind to them.

The 400 Cambridge fans a month ago made much more noise.

[roversdude]

Last time the Lincoln fans came to the KMS they were terrific, agree that on Saturday they were muted

[ravenrover]

3130 sold by the Stags, they'll outnumber us at this rate

That's good going. Really anticipating this game now as it is a break from the league woes and could be a bumper crowd with the potential of it being an entertaining game for a change. I'm up for the cup! 

[Monkcaster_Rover]

Blood & thunder cup tie.

I'll be enjoying it from the safety of a Christmas market.
