Plucky loser is a very English thing and goes back to the days of great sportsmanship I suspect. Of course being English we have had to put up with this at all World and Euro Cups, when we have qualified, for the last 50 years. Losing on penalties seems anational pastime and unfortunately we as a club suffered in the same manner.
I am actually more upset & down about the outcom etoday then I was yesterday. As Big Chris said the realism of away trips to Dover Borehamwood etc are not as attractive as Portsmouth & Notts County.
Think we need a great start to keep the fans momentum as I believe yesterday has about finished us older ones off, depression is really kicking in & at times like this I wish I never got interested in football.
I agree to some extent LM56 Last night on the way home it was the ifs and buts reflection and how it could have been us Today though it's the reality of thinking will I make it to Guiseley (my nearest fixture) when I would have so wanted it to have been York The positivity does get sucked out of you on occasions like this but we've been round the block a few times and should know by now We get knocked down, but we get up again...

Got to admit for all the pride I felt yesterday, it was the reminder of fixtures we have to play now that really got to me too. Parents have a Caravan in South Shields so Gateshead is a very easy trip for me. When trying to cheer me up my mother sent me a text saying at least I have a nice place to stay it really brought the despair back again. I absolutely f***ing loathe Gateshead! Can understand fans who are sick of getting knocked around. But this season has had some real highs in it and that is football, it gives you moments of ecstacy and moments where it drags your soul through the sewer. But we will get up again, and somehow I am sure we will find a way to make a fun day out of going to places like Boreham Wood.

Wow, "Drags your soul through the sewer." That's a very descriptive way of putting it.

Some more feedback:
Rovers were the poorer side today at Wembley.I thought I goalkeeper should have been sent off,I said so at the time our defence were the most nervous I've seen all season but we gradually grew into the game,we always start like this ,fair play to Grimsby they put every thing into the game.And I really hope they do it next season.All the very best.PS having said that what a relief to get back in the league.Dont listen to the media we knew it wasn't goin to be easy ,and we were proved right.
Brian
Well done Grimsby. I thought your team and fans were first class yesterday. We were very lucky, something that rovers are not generally! I will be a closet Mariner next season and sincerely hope you are promoted

I stayed there the night before the match, not a very exciting place, did have a Nandos and Starbucks though. The high street seemed like Freemo. Train station into Kings Cross St Pancras, if so desired.

As I've said before it's an absolute shiitehole full of London overspill chavs and low life's. Plenty of nice little villages around and about with decent boozers though and easy to get to.
