Season Tickets

Quoted from 1mickylyons

On/Off the field Town have some momentum and I personally feel we will be in and around the Play Offs .There are 2/3 teams who with budget etc should wallop us after that were in the frame and our away support will give us a huge edge over most.

Sometimes, what you gain in budget, you lose a little bit of in complacency. I think back to our play-off game at Wrexham; they had some very good players on that pitch, players well above National League-level (Mullin, Palmer, Tozer et al) but they also had several that weren't fit to be playing on such a stage. I'm thinking their goalkeeper, the lad with the blonde hair (French), and a couple of others.

They had spent lazily, assuming that lumping on a few big names from a higher-level would be sufficient. It wasn't that season, and whilst they would go on to accrue a record National League points total along with the title the following year, they face a significant step-up in level in 23/24. Yes, they'll spend big again, but I do sometimes think that the luxury of money sometimes leads teams to think less about creating a team that is a truly cohesive unit, and instead simply look to assemble a string of players too good to be playing at that level as individuals. How many Champions League medals did Messi, Neymar and Mbappe win at PSG?

I do think Paul Hurst builds sides that are, in general, greater than the sum of their parts. Only this time around, the sums are going to be bigger and better than ever before, and that's a truly exciting prospect.

Yes, this is without doubt the richest League Two that has ever been and will probably see the highest standard of football in general that the league has ever seen. But all that said, I have full confidence that we will be right in the mix along with all of the Wrexham's, Stockport's and Bradford's. We'll just go under the radar for a little while yet, and I have absolutely no problem with that whatsoever.

If you can, get your season ticket bought!

Quoted from Mappers

I'm desperate to go to the Notts game , you think it will be required mate even with the ST ?

The lure of Hooters has never been so evident!

I'm on my brothers stag do in Birmingham that weekend so it has fallen perfectly .

Missed out on tickets for that play-off game so not missing out again.

Will register if I have to , I don't even live local so there is no mention of Grimsby on my ID , will that make things easier?

You can build a team of the most expensive players but you need a manager with the managerial  "nous" to get the best out of them.

Depends if they want to play silly būggers again. They can get 4k in that stand but don’t think they ever open the whole thing for a combination of cost/logistics. Chalky is better placed to advise on that front but if we’ve only got 2k you’ll be praying to the venuetoolbox gods.

Didn't I read somewhere about it being about the size of the concourse and health and safety? I might be wrong

The Wrexham fan I recently was in touch with thought they were planning to mostly use last season's team (perhaps one or two additions to the squad) as the feeling was that they more than good enough to win promotion from League Two. Might be the case, but having Parkinsonosaurus running the team makes me think they might find it a bit more difficult than they expect.

Yeah something like I that. Think after about 2k they have to open up extra turnstiles & concourse areas, which means closing that road at the back of the away end.

Have to say, probably been to Meadow Lane 10 times & never seen as much as a crossed word between home & away fans. Only issues I’ve ever seen are with Notts OB when they start throwing their weight about, and when people get crammed into that concourse & left to their own devices with stewards stood in the entrances watching everyone get squashed.

What's the point of building a stand to hold 4000 and only using half of it

Home advantage, innit.
