Grimsby Town know exactly what to expect over the next few days, having been involved in this four-team shootout in the last three seasons.

They got closest last year when a penalty shoot-out defeat to Bristol Rovers broke their hearts and will now hope to emulate Exeter City’s 2007/08 success where they returned a year later to get the job done.

They will, however, also fear joining Cambridge United (07/08 and 08/09) and Luton Town (10/11 and 11/12) with back-to-back play-off final defeats.

Mariners fans may feel that boss Paul Hurst underachieved with the club this season, seeing as they were just six points away from Barnet last year and now go into these play-offs 21 short of top spot.

That has to be a concern in a season that can hardly be described as vintage.

On paper, the Blundell Park outfit are worthy favourites to regain their Football League spot, but something just doesn’t feel right about them and the other three teams will fear them in only name.


IF YOU PLAY FOR THE BADGE ON THE FRONT OF YOUR SHIRT
THEY WILL REMEMBER THE NAME ON THE BACK OF IT





You can change your wife, your house, your car, but you can never change your team.
Chairmen come and go, boards come and go, but the fans remain.
They are the one true constant

I'd agree with him we're not a value bet, but favourites rarely are. That doesn't mean we're not going to get promoted though, we've got a better chance than Braintree and Dover and probably VGR. Just not quite as good a chance as the odds suggest.

.
Alan Alger who is he?   Has he ever played the game no .He's just some statto aiming to make money via his column.Look at Leicester at 5000/1 outsiders at the start of the season to win the premier league to cite one example.Bookies dont always get it right !!!!! I Personally think sometimes form does go out of the window when it comes to these stats.These players I feel have it within them to get us back into the league if the passion of the crowd is there and they put in a excellent performance over the next 2 games and hopefully the third

my bet would be a Dover-Braintree final with Dover winning. I'm never right though so we still have hope.
