I don't think we get that much from going up, something along the lines of £500k or similar (nice to have, but not a game changer). Given we're at capacity (supposedly) for most matches already, and there'd be a lot of risk to extending upwards without significant money also going into ensuring a decent manager/the team can properly compete in L1, not sure it'll make much difference to the finances

Fans don't get much say with the super restricted voting high bar in situ.

Is fan ownership model really so unviable that we'd prefer to lose and stay put in L2 than win and go up a division?

...would explain some of the recent team selections and tactics!

Maybe our target was the play-offs all along? Money from 2, hopefully 3 extra matches - cuts our debt. Whether we go up or not less important as extra revenue in L1 offset by higher wages and maybe lower crowds if we struggle all season v hopefully another L2 top 7 finish.

Lol 23rd April always triggers the leftie loons with the same discussion. . Happy St George's day fellow flag shaggers😂.

“But we are a CHRISTIAN nation!!” cried all the patriots… 😲🤪 Shakespeare was actually English too OI, should really be him rather than the Turk… ☺️

I'm not part of the CofE so they can fuck off. Today is St George's Day.

It is still Shakespeare's birthday though a4e.

Happy “not” St G’s Day 🤪😂👏 [Link]

I am aware he missed another in normal time too btw

So its 4-4 v An other at Wombley, they've missed one and Joe Pigott is up, whose your money on hit or miss.

A4e-after we get the point we need to get in the play offs(or Salford and Colchester draw)we will play a weakened side at Grimsby hence tickets might become avaiable

They were right RK. It is just that you can get relegated twice as we made a good effort to do a couple of years ago.

I bet Carlisle fans thought that too!

That in itself is a good enough reason too 49 👍

Being promoted would great! At least we would be 2 relegations away from non league football.

Six Million, A good summing up on our season and present state of play.

Andy Mac - after Saturday there might be a few spares available…. 😬

I’d be happy to be promoted just so that we wouldn’t have to play MK next season - I’m not in the forgive and forget camp… ☺️

Anyone know of any spares for Grimsby After 2 x adults.

I was at that York game on that terrace. I was also on the coach to the first game, and when we were almost there, while it was pissing down, we got the message that it had been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

I was at that York match. I think it was a rearranged Wednesday evening match. It was towards the end of our first Conference Premier season, almost 15 years ago to the day. We were 4-0 down inside 30 minutes and ended up losing 5-0 (Brodie got a hattrick for York - whatever happened to him?). It was a disaster. I seem to recall somebody shouted at Pullen from that open terrace in the second half why was he in goal as Brown (Seb) was better than him, at which point Pullen turned around and told him to f#@k off. Samuelson was also on that open terrace and will have heard what he said. Seb Brown played the next game away to Mansfield, saved two penalties near the end of the game, we won 1-0 and Pullen didn't play again. I think he left in the summer.
