Pity they didn't make it to the final last year when we where there.


If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

Quoted from Davec
How many Grimsby Fans would make the trip to Wembley to watch Cleethorpes if they get there?  I don't think many will but I'm sure some would


Well done to Clee it would be good if they could play at Blundell Park either before the Crawley game or after it,

Just looking at our top scorers now Omar has left,

We have 8 players on 2, I bet there has not been that many equal top scorers in a team this late in the season before,

The opposition will not know who to mark

Our pitch is looking crap enough as it is without playing 2 matches on it in one day.

I would definitely go to Wembley. But then it isn't that far.

It's a good suggestion putting the Clee home leg on at BP.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Just to clarify. We did consider the option of BP but when we spoke to the FA you cannot move a game for financial reasons. Only if it is for health and safety. They deemed Bradley as adequate therefore do not see an H+Sam issue.

We are working with the Bradley FDC to increase the capacity and are awaiting the outcome.
We have allocated Bromsgrove with 400 tickets. So hopefully it will be a sell out.
I understand your love for your club but if there is any one you know that would like to come to a fa vase semi final please let them know.
This is fantastic for our area and we do appreciate the support GTFC fans give us.

400, that's a fair slice of your current capacity Dave. Was that by your choice of do you have to give the visiting team a certain number under FA Rules. I notice that they got just under 3000 for their quarter-final tie so they are obviously a well supported club.

It's a shame the home leg is on the same day as a Town home game as I'm sure you would have had a few Town fans down to watch. (If they could have got tickets that is)

Good luck for the games mate and here's hoping you make it to Wembley, which would be a fantastic acheivement for your club.

Like said Les we are working to increase the capacity to 1600. I anticipate support for us will be around 1000-1200. So rather than loose out on sales we felt it would be good for both clubs to offer them a reasonable share

do you much about Bromsgrove Dave, obviously a fantastic achievement so far for Clee and just 2 games away from what would be something special for you, whats their team like and level they play at? Les kindly explained to me the other day that clee are a higher level in the pyramid but bookies odds put clee as underdogs

They were originally Bromsgrove rovers but I think went bust. They set up Bromsgrove sporting. They were put in step 6 one below us currently. They are top n obviously a great fan Base. They had just sort of 3k on Sunday for there quarter final.
It will be a tough game but we believe we can do this. We have a great squad and macca has helped immensely.
It will be a very proud moment if we get to Wembley. To think this could happen 7 year ago I wud of thought you were taking something. But everyone works really hard at the club to succeed and the rewards are coming through now
