A step too far today unfortunately but surely our cup run will leave a lasting legacy.

Bigger budget for players next season for starters and easier to attract players after all the publicity I would suggest.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Today was always going to be a step too far but what an amazing journey, so proud of the whole club and fans for giving us back our pride and our passion, promotion push starts at Mansfield. UTM


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

I agree with you, especially about the publicity. It will show any future potential signings what Grimsby is about, particularly our fans. Hopefully, they will think of us as not just a league 2 club, but a league 2 club that are on a journey. A journey which they can be part of.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Not sure why Spurn Boy got marked down for the comment but I agree with the comment
UTM
Onwards and upwards.
PH will build these players up and tell them how well they have done on this Cup run.

shame we didnt have a go instead of sitting on the edge of our box admiring them thought we gave them far too much respect.  Still a fantastic effort.

Cup run has been nothing short of brilliant.

We should now concentrate on our bread and butter. Not likely but playoffs still a possibility.
Focus on the job in hand and rejoice the cup run at the end of the League season.

My personal legacy was being able to get a cracking pay on the day seat in the lower for the Burton game. I'd never have thought it would have meant so much before this season. Impossible for every home league game.

Yes,  can reach the playoffs.  If we have the energy.  Twice today on TV it was mentioned that we should avoid relegation. Well, yes!

£250 × 4000= 1 million quid , so 4000 ST ish if you average out juniors and adults . So its worth that from one perspective before next season has even started ; some head start .

The money is great, over a million by all accounts, but I think the way that our profile as a community based club with an incredible fan base will make players who might have turned their noses up at us a year ago want to come and play.

It will be interesting to see how the summer transfer window goes, but I think we now have have the resources and reputation to attract some quality players at L2/L1 level.
