Excellent result for them and im sure they’re hoping for the lowest ranked side left at home, as the chance to play us, or a Notts County, Wrexham etc comes into play 4th round

Fat Matt Rhead was upfront for Alfreton and Dayle Southwell on the bench.

Wondered why there were some Alfreton fans eating fish and chips in the Pier Gardens yesterday.

There are 62 names in the hat for the 4th qualifying round and I think it's regionalised into North and South so there would be around 1 in 30 chance of the two clubs being drawn together, should Clee make it into the hat.

I’d like Cleethorpes Town to avoid Grimsby Town until the first round proper. I don’t want it to be us to end what could be a historic run for them, until that stage. Then a televised game at BP so both clubs can benefit.

It’d give us a relatively easy game in R1 assuming we get there (not counting any chickens on that score!).

They could potentially draw York City at home in the next round.


Batch, K.Moore, Waters, Wiggington, Crombie, Brolly, Ford, Drinkell, Mitchell, Cumming, Kilmore. D.Moore, Stone, Liddell. ....1979/80..... now that WAS a team.

We beat them 4-0 away in the FA Cup in 1887-1888 and then beat Lincoln in the next round. I'd settle for that

Mind you we got knocked out by Old Foresters, they sound a bit like Village Green (although are from North London I believe).

Fair play to Cleethorpes.  Its a non league equivalent of a league 2 side beating a championship side


<'(((((<

When I was a little boy
I asked my daddy what would i be
would I be United, would i be Leeds
Here's what he said to me

Oh Grimsby Grimsby
Whatever will be will be
You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby


Tell me Mam me Mam
I dont want no tea no tea
I'm watching the Grimsby
Tell me Mam me mam

I dunno Hagrid. It’s got “the romance of the Cup” written all over it. Plus Town’s resurgence under 1878 (and Stockwood has a bit of a national media profile). And It’s ‘the Friendly Derby’ and the quirk of the clubs playing in each other’s towns.
