Last Night!

As I was telling you yesterday about the big football match. Well the morning after the night before and i’m writing this blog entry with a huge smile on my face, a rather banging headache and a hangover to die for. But I don’t care, i’m going to Wembley to watch the team I love play their. We beat Morecambe over a two legged match, 1-0 on aggregate. It was an amazing night, tense to the final whistle and all worth the long wait.
We didn’t play well but didn’t need to really. We just needed to make sure we didn’t concede and we would be their.
The final at Wembley is on 30th march, tickets are out tomorrow and I suppose me and 3000 other hardcore fans will have to wiat in a huge queue full of glory hunters who will state they have never missed a game all season. Should be fun, but again will be well worth it.
We plan to go down on the supporters coach and have a few pints before the match,as per usual on away matches, then enjoy the atmospehere that should be created outside Wembley on Wembley Way. Then onto the real stuff, the match.
I’m so excited I can’t help but smile, think my mouth might be stuck like this. From playing at Wembley we could recieve around £400,000 in cash money, which for a small, in debt club like Grimsby will probably pay off the debt and keep us in business for a few more years.
Oh yea, forgot to mention that we’ll be playing one of the most hated clubs in England at Wembley, MK Dons (MK Dongs, MK Franchise, MK Donalds etc). If you want to find out why they are the most hated club in England, just search a key term in google like, Why are MK Dons hated by others? or something similar.

Thats all for now guys :)

The Big Football Match Tonight

No, not Arsenal v AC Milan or whoever is playing in the Champions League. I’m talking about proper football…Grimsby Town v Morecambe in the Johnstones Paint Trophy Area Final.

What it means if my team, Grimsby Town win is that they will go onto play MK Dons in the JPT Final at the national stadium, Wembley. I’ve been there twice already to support Grimsby, but not the new one. We won there twice ten years ago by the way.

I travel home and away to support the Mariners (Grimsby Town) and spend thousands of pounds each year to do so. Why? Because I love them, the passion from our fans and the pride I get when signing, watching us play and watching us win.

We beat Morecambe at their ground last week 1-0, so the second leg is being played tonight at our ground. All we need to do is draw 0-0, but me nor the other fans want us to do that, we want to win in style.

There should be 8000 fans there, we usually only get 4000 at home games so the atmosphere is going to be rocking. I’ve been excited about this since last Wednesday morning, and woke up this morning with butterflies in my stomach, thats how excited I am. Now I am sat here waiting for the hours to go by and for the clock to reach 5.30 GMT when I leave the house, catch the bus and take a quick 2
