Clearly though people do mind, and because it isn't a few second at a time. People are standing for the whole game, and being abusive to those who try and get them to sit down. 
That's why there is such a problem, people complaining and arguing with each other, and the club forced to step in. That's why we're discussing it on here.

Actually it is. Three sides of the ground are seating, with one side accepted standing. If you want to stand, go there. If not, you have to abide by the rules and sit, or not go at all. 
There. Sorted.

I think they had it right - you can't win all arguments so you turn a blind eye to the SS and away end, but there needs to be a line in the sand somewhere, and it looks like they've drawn it. Which is fair enough.
 

Yes I wonder if it's something like this - this season that area does seem a bit of a creeping South Stand extension. It certainly adds to the atmosphere but equally it's really unfair if it spoils the experience of people who have been sitting there for years.

Time wasting and gamesmanship is part and parcel of the game, always has been. When a player goes down, the ref has no choice but to attend to a player who claims he is injured. He can't pick and choose when he thinks someone is feigning injury; all he can do is add the time on, which he did. Nine minutes added time was right.
That said, he was a weak official who increasingly lost control of proceedings, and if it is the case that the same linesman allowed two fairly obvious offside goals (haven't seen the video back) then he needs some kind of sanction. 
Yet you can't blame the officials for our performance. In the first half Lincoln out ran us, out fought us and were more organised. Second half they did everything they could to secure something out of the game. It's horrible to watch and frustrating, but it is up to us to be able to beat teams like this if we want promotion, and we nearly did.
Disappointing night but we should look no further than our own poor performance, especially in the first half again. I was surprised to see two in midfield again after a poor performance at Wycombe where we were overrun  in that area, and it was clear against Lincoln we had nothing in the middle and were essentially just playing in the two outer thirds of the pitch, left and right, which made it pretty easy for the opposition to defend. 
Much to think about ahead of Saturday.

Thank you for this post. I suspect it is the most balanced I have read. It is pretty clear that Warne got the set-up wrong. There is also a lot of bleating on here about how Lincoln s********* it at the end. Not sure what anyone expects really. They were apparently the better team for the first 55 minutes, and then had to play as 10 men for the last 35 away from home to a promotion chasing side. Who wouldn’t try every trick to hold on to a lead, or then the one point. We are playing League 1 football against Lincoln, not beach football against Man City.
