Still find I am pinching myself as I watch it.

It will be a long time before any club has a play off run as dramatic as that..

Doesn't matter how many times I see the McAtee goal against Wrexham, it's always absolutely magical.

Destabilised me that.... again. Great condensed highlights these. The magnitude of what I/we have been through this season is just so... so overwhelming. Bursting with emotion, pride, the whole shebang.










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

I think the more you try and evaluate what has been achieved the harder it is to believe what has really happened. To play 3 games away from home and concede the first goal of the game and end up playing extra time in all the games and winning all 3 is an achievement that we don’t really grasp at the moment but as time goes on the achievement will probably stay with us fans for the rest of our life’s.


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 )

Three weeks ago tonight I was beginning to feel a little nervy about the following evening’s trip to Meadow Lane. We just had no idea what was coming. How could we?

Absolutely remarkable.

What we need to do is say a massive thankyou to whoever produced this film, and all the others throughout the season, including the training videos etc.

Good job all round

How do I explain to my mrs that I have to watch another video about Grimsby Town? Tissues at the ready!


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

McAtees goal at Wrexham was outstanding and those long throw ins are as good as a free kick

Brilliant.

I watched a the final highlights video this afternoon too and still cheered when McAtee scored, even though I've watched it a zillion times.

Can't believe how special this football club actually is. The fans (not just Grimsby either) that have merged together for those who couldn't financially afford it is something that gives me a tear in my eye. We are truly part of one fantastic and huge family; not only am I delighted that we've got back into the league and the manner in which we've done so, but what camaraderie we have shown we truly are better together.  

I think this has been picked up via other fans on TV and those people who have got the interest back to watch town again and feel that the town has truly got it's identity back people are suddenly flourishing in Grimsby Town shirts everywhere instead of the usual Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea kits.. It's brilliant to see and long may we continue riding this wave of enthusiasm.

Apparently Unilever are already reporting a slump in sales of antiperspirant in the Grimsby area.

Local folk are struggling to sweat after what Nonce Andrew would describe as an ‘overdose of adrenaline’ during the playoff campaign.

Out of all the signings we've made, Liam Emmerson's video content this season has been incredible. And he won't have to wait for day's to be allowed to upload next season as well.

Happy times
