History Makers

It occurred to me that we are getting some great press coverage about being the 5th team in history to be from division 2 (or 4 for those of us old enough) to reach the quarter finals of the FA Cup, and the first since 1990, but what no one seems to have commented on is the fact that the large majority of the team that will start tomorrow were actually non league players until the start of this season.

Some, like Glennon and Hunt played a few games in the league last season, one (Emmanuel) didn’t play football at all until a few weeks ago, and that makes this cup run event more of an unbelievable achievement.

For Paul Hurst to have got this group to a Cup QF is beyond comprehension and the whole club deserves every penny, every second of tv, and every accolade it gets.

For those lucky enough to have a ticket, I am very, very jealous, but I look forward to hearing you through the tv in my mother in laws spare room come Sunday.

Win or lose, do yourself, and those of us who can’t be there, proud, enjoy the time and make great  memories whatever the result.

What a 12 months this has been for us Mariners, something we have not had for a long time.
