A hypothetical question, Cleethorpes carry on progressing and in 5/6 seasons actually make it into league 2, so who then does every one support?
An hypothetical answer,  ,,,GTFC, 14,000 passionate Town supporters crammed in our new Fentydome or Cleethorpes Town 1,200 at Bradley Pitches ..No Brainer. ,,,,It has to be Cleethorpes  . But good luck to Cleethorpes Town in the cup final and any promotions they achieve in the future. |

I've seen a few comments on Social Media having digs at Town fans who are going to go to Wembley to support Cleethorpes at Wembley.
My personal view is that it's a bunch of local lads who are going to get there day in the sun, it would be abit rubbish if they rocked up at Wembley with no more then there average home gate to back them.
Plus for the sakes of £12.50 (group discount offer), it's not like it's breaking the bank to watch a final at Wembley

Yes £12.50 is ok if you live in London but with travel and meals it would work out an expensive day for someone like myself travelling from Grimsby. I wish them well though |

I too wish then well but have no intention of travelling to Wembley to watch them. I have been to a few games at Bradley and know some of their players and management team.

The 'I couldn't give two shites about Cleethorpes Town' type people are funny:
1-Cleethorpes are never going to overtake Grimsby Town in the NEL popularity stakes.
2-No-one is asking you to give two shites about them.
They're a bunch of local lads who have become a successful football team at that level. Some of them failed to make the grade professionally but are obviously very good at semi pro level. It's good that these local lads have something better than Sunday league to play at and it means that there is decent standard non-league stuff in the area as ten years or so ago there was very little in NEL.

Some of them still play Sunday league but the manager has put a stop to it apparently. Surely this club growing and having success is good for the area? Who knows one day if they keep progressing a side like that might be able to give the Akeem Rose's of this world some competitive first team football |

it is a bit of a p!ss take that some Sunday League Div 4..( the lowest division in Sunday League) will be appearing at Wembley in the near future. However i do wish them the best of luck, proper local lads, played local junior leagues, been rejected by GTFC in some cases i believe but have earned themselves a game at the national stadium. |

They can only dream of playing at the levels I have. Sunday League division EIGHT. |

Can well understand people choosing not to travel down with the expense involved.
More success for Clee can only be good for football in NEL and indirectly for GTFC too. Unless we implode, Clee will not become challengers for top dog status, but as Herts said, the opportunity for more players to play semi-pro football in the area has got to be good for developing the talent pool.
Being a Meggie I'll always support GTFC over CTFC. After all GT have played in Cleethorpes for most of their history, whilst Clee have always played in Grimsby.

I couldn't get into a team that was bottom of division eight, I think the money and fame had gone to my head unfortunately |
