38 places between us and Southampton and 51 between us and Brighton they say, I wish there was. Harry "The" Haddock.
They just made it up as they went along!

Just seen the re-run and I really need to get my contact lenses sorted as they keep making my eyes water.

How do you work that out? There's 48 teams in the 2 leagues above us. Think it was 65 places to Southampton when we played them

We’re massive!
Plenty of coverage in all major languages. We're going to attract "plastic" supporters.

There will have been a lot of under 30s that only saw us as a non league side now sitting up and taking notice.

Indeed, and not my working out... I was making an observation about the news story in the OP that I had quoted.

Shame the club shop is out of stock for shirts could have made a killing with all this interest.

2 not 1 quarter finals before. Both won.
Did not realise McAtees’ mother related to Alan Ball (Workd Cup winner) and Alan Ball senior, an experienced football manager.
The BBC coverage was very good this morning. Talked to a 100 year old Town fan.

Spoke to Mcatees dad and uncle a few times, good guys His uncle was also a RL player professionally, and if I remember right his Mum may have been a gymnast or something similar. Some sporting family there!

Just need a multi-millionaire from China or Thailand to see our story, have a bit of spare cash hanging around and want to invest in the club. They could build us a new stadium with their loose change.

No thanks, rather continue attending BP than sell out to foreign money being invested into Town.

But remember even JS said in one of his interviews 'if there's anyone out there with 5 million.........'

3 actually. 2 won, 1 lost.
The lesser known quarter final was a 5-1 defeat against Newcastle way back in the 1907-08 season.

I've just read in the Mail that Paul Futcher was Danny Murphy's uncle and it will be a labour of love for him to comment on the Mariners today.
I never knew that and another nice touch.

Great interview with Tommy Turgoose in the Times yesterday about the club and match, big pic in Steels.

ASTONISHED ABOUT THE WONDER OF GRIMSBY
Football – A fourth division Team was the first english club that eliminated five higher ranked teams in the FA CUP.
Grimsby. In the motherland of football there is a football fairytale ongoing and the whole of England is sharing the excitement of a next episode taking place this coming Sunday. Five victories, always versus higher ranked teams – fourth division team Grimsby Town already made history in this FA CUP, which is held since 1871, and wants to add another chapter to this record.
In the last round the Mariners won 2:1 at FC Southampton in the eighth final, now they will visit on Sunday (15:15 hrs on DAZN *) Brighton and Hove Albion, who is another club from the Premier league. Once again teammanager Paul Hurst has no other choice than hoping for the morals of his team: “I’m realy very satisfied with the attitude of the team. No matter if a league game or a training session – nobody was saving his energy for the Brighton game lately”, said the 48 year old
The on-field-development of this 145 year old club has always been a reflection of the conditions of life ion Grimsby. While the city at the north-east-coast of England was one of the most important ports in the world until the years after the second world war, it has strongly lost the importance lately.
Parallel to this economic decline, also the back then first division club temporarily slided down to the fifth division. But now the success in the cup of the Mariners has caused in Grimsby, the twin city of Bremerhaven, an atmosphere of departure, which was missed for such a long period of time.

Also in the Mail an interview with Orsi who says it is lovely living round here. That's exactly what we want to hear and the message we want to send out in the future.
He was born in Barnet and has lived in Florida and moved about a lot so that is nice to hear him being complimentary.
He is obviously mega excited by today's game so I hope he gets on the pitch.

I'd be truly amazed if he doesn't get on the pitch at some point!

Whilst it doesn’t say anything we haven’t read before in the past week, the journalist appears to have taken the time to research the article from various sources in a style that would put many of our sports journalists to shame.
Aaron Kahnert also points out that, despite the heroic display by the players at Southampton, the fans stole the show.
