When the original game against Bradford was postponed, lots of City supporters claimed it robbed fans of a chance to travel, and numbers would suffer as a result.
It is easily said at the time, but rarely is it revisited when proven wrong. Yesterday, we were given an additional allocation on top of our original allowance of tickets, proving that the fixture moving to an evening has done nothing to quell Imps’ fans desire to travel.
🎟️ City have received extra tickets after selling out the initial allocation for Tuesday’s trip to Bradford City.
🗓️ Tickets go off sale at 12noon on Tuesday 28 October.

Currently, the club have sold 1,300 tickets for the trip to West Yorkshire, with more expected to join as it is pay on the day. We’re currently in half term, and some are believed to be making the journey at short notice.
There will be a small surcharge on top of the original ticket price for pay on the day, as is standard in the modern age of football.
The last time the two clubs met in the Football League was back in 2011, when an Imps side later to be relegated earned a 2-1 victory in front of 10,543 supporters. That was also a Tuesday night – in fact, we haven’t been to Valley Parade on a Saturday since that fateful afternoon in May, 1985.
Of the last 12 meetings between the two clubs, only two have been on a Saturday afternoon at the Bank – our 2-1 win in January 2010, and our 2-1 defeat on New Year’s Day in 2011.
With an average attendance of 21,125, Bradford are currently the second-best supported club in the division, and if City reach 1,500 we will still be dwarfed by the home support.
