The Big Football Match Tonight

4 March 2008, by Heavens Paradox

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
