We have been given 999 tickets for Chesterfield. NO where near enough normally, but with it being on TV it will be about the number we will sell. Bloody Sky and dodgy sticks are to blame.
I don't mind going to Crewe, the new market hall has been 'gentrified' and is full of decent food and drink outlets. There are a few good pubs (all a long way from the ground), Borough Arms, Ebenezers and The Hops are worth visiting if you have the time.
Yes, it's about time we beat the buggers again. Think Bradford will be up there come May, but it's still August at the moment. We still have a few injury worries, but we'll have a full bench unlike the cup match against them two weeks ago.
I've watched us play MK Dons at four different grounds, Crystal Palace (were you already MK Dons then?), a hockey pitch in MK, your new stadium and at Wembley. Oh and I'm weird too!
That's only because they don't Boycott your place like some of ours still do. I personally don't, but know plenty who refuse to give you money and stay away when we've played you.
It's a side we are given (well half of it) and we managed to sell 1,400 or so. No trains back to Grimsby after the match, so it's car or coach for everyone. Had we known the ref and his team were going to be so shite I doubt we'd have sold 100 tickets!
Has anybody got a full 1st Team out tomorrow, all I am reading is injury woes (just like us), we should have a full subs bench but it wont be hardened pros sat on it.
There was a time when we couldn't lose to Cheltenham, then it flicked the other way and we couldn't buy a win against them. I am hoping the worm has turned again and it's our season to start a winning streak against them once more.
We couldn't even fill the subs bench this evening, only 7. Showed in the second half when Bradford could bring on some more beef and we had youth players to choose from.
The coming up League game will obviously be very different, but a win 9-8 on penalties will have done a did of confidence...
Fleetwood Mac for us, "Go Your Own Way" and all that.
Happy if we draw 0-0 to be honest. Injuries and a touch of new blood making the 1st team squad a bit thin, we'll struggle to have our full quoter of subs unless a couple more come through the door before the weekend.
