FULHAM – Possible Change
The home premiership match against Fulham scheduled for Sunday April 11th will be postponed if Fulham defeat Tottenham Hotspur in the F.A. Cup quarter-final replay and progress to the F.A. Cup Semi-finals which take priority over the premiership. A postponement will inevitably mean another mid-week match, so all we can says is : COME ON YOUR SPURS !

PORTSMOUTH – A sign of the times
For the first time for a Premier League fixture we will not be running a coach to the Portsmouth match on Monday 15th March.A Monday night match at 8pm meaning our members would not get home until 0130 hours at the earliest, again changed for live television coverage has finally taken it’s toll, even amongst some of the loyalist members.
With the West Ham match also moved to a Monday night, it’s not been a very good year for Saturday 3pm kick off times watching L.F.C.
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO FOOTBALL MATCHES BEING PLAYED AT A WEEK-END ?? – The headline above unfortunately says it all !
Returned Ticket information
We have on FIVE occasions returned tickets this season, the total number of tickets we have returned is 75 which is just under 10% of our tickets received), we can’t remember prior to this season the last time we have returned tickets to L.F.C., the late switch to Monday night matches and the meaningless game at Home to Fiorentina in the Champions League didn’t help matters.
We have obviously returned the poorest view tickets as a matter of priority.
A full detailed analysis of our tickets received throughout the season will appear in our next newsletter which will be issued in May.
Numbers In Brief :-
325 – The number of members this season on our membership register.
116 – The number of members on our Facebook page
228 – The number of people on our e-mail notification list
13 – The number of years since we organised our first coach the Anfield !
NOTES FROM THE CHAIR
Welcome to this special edition newsletter which is being sent out to all members to advise them of the chance to apply for tickets for the remaining few matches.
It has been a difficult season for our supporters club, on the positive note the amount of restricted tickets have been reduced and controlled by LFC this season so that has to be a bonus, however being cut back on our allocation in general hasn’t helped matters. If you add to this the fact the our early exit from the Champions league and subsequent inclusion in the Europa League has meant that some of our home matches have been put back to Sunday’s, then of course there is the issue of ESPN matches on a Monday evening, all of which has caused problems for our own club.
It has been a sad start to the new year, with the loss of both Geoff Holland and Ann North, I had the pleasure of working with Geoff on the Committee, he was such a likeable Gentleman, furthermore his dedication and contribution to our supporters club at the time he held office was second to none.
Finally the feedback on our January Function (with guests Jan Molby, Darren Farley & Les Lawson) has been overwhelming, I am glad that many of you had a great time, organising events such as this makes it worthwhile when our Committee receive such kind comments – Kevin.
We do hope that these newsletters are of interest to you and keep you up to date with matters within the club. If you have any comments or ideas, please let a member of the Committee know, or e-mail us on info@lfcgrimsby.co.uk . Also we have around 230 people signed up to receive e-mail circulars, If you would like to receive information in advance such as ticket availability for example then send your e-mail address to our e-mail as given on the line above..
