intercourse the money. Can we just draw someone who’ll entertain us please, football gods? We aren’t going to do it ourselves are we?

The fa cup run for the gimps last year, proved to be a catalyst for their season. Let's just hope it does something similar if we were to be as fortunate.
wonder if we would be on tv, should we draw the Shrews again.

The only way we would get chosen for TV would be if we got drawn against one of the lowest ranked teams left in the competition.

The only way a Grimsby/Shrewsbury game would be shown on TV in the FA Cup would be if it was the semi or the final!

I bet even then they'd show a mid-table premiership game.

Folkestone, home or away. Knocked the mighty ducks out in the last round. Home would be fine coz they are pretty Shiite, away coz it's a nice little town, good number of decent boozers and a decent little ground. They also have the 'noisy boyz ' ( I kid you not) who are boys, but are definitely not very noisy!
This! I'd prefer away. Folkestone is on the up...honest! It's a town that has a wealthy benefactor (Saga) and is doing a huge amount of work developing its "culture" and it's a case study for Grimsby Councillors and their new grand regeneration project. It has a high speed link to London (I admit Grimsby will struggle to get one of those), the channel tunnel (and one of those) and a lot going for it now. It's been a real dump for a long time but things are changing. Like you say, some good pubs and anywhere with a Martello Tower is worth a trip.

As far as the FA Cup is concerned I only have one dream and that is to draw Man Utd away. So my one desire is to get easy draws until both our balls are nestling in the bag and I have memorised both numbers. I have sat in front of the TV numerous times and prayed to every god I can think of for this eventuality to happen and it never has, even Man Utd or YYYYYY v XXXXX or Grimsby Town would do me, but I don't think I have even experienced that partial conditional joy. Obviously winning the tournament without playing at OT would be an even greater experience, I have set myself a more modest life goal or just witnessing GTFC run out onto the Old Trafford pitch.
Does the League cup count, because if it does it happened. And to think we celebrated Phil Jevons day this week, maybe we should celebrate drawn against Man U day a couple of days later, a bit like Good Friday and Easter Monday or Christmas Eve and Boxing Day

Fill your boots: http://kentpoi.co.uk/historic/martello/index.htmlDon't recall seeing the one in Hythe that had been converted into a house. Do they still have that carnival parade on the military canal at Hythe?
