Saturday 25th October
Winner gets £12,500
Att 1,761
Straightforward to get to.
Strange thing is, the ground is not in Grimsby, it is in Cleethorpes 2 miles up
the road! Arrived 45 minutes before kick-off. There’s a first.
Getting serious now. Have
to purchase a ticket in the ticket shop then take it round to the turnstile. “Funny
way of doing things round these parts” I joked. “Always been done that way here
lad” he replied sternly. Lad!? I’m bloody 69.
Decided a ticket in the seats behind the goal with the home supporters
was the order of the day. Went to the snack bar and guess what….. yes.
Pucka pies. But that was it. NO CHIPS. So cup of tea and pucka pie and
to the game.
The first half proved uneventful. Not many real assaults on goal. The
second half started the same as the first but it was the home side that scored
first through substitute Nathan Arnold. After that Grimsby pushed on and scored
two further goals from centre forward John-Lewis. John-Lewis is a big strong
old fashioned centre forward and I thought looked useful and a handful.
What I found fascinating
was that there was over 30 Stewards, which works out at 1 Steward for every 58
spectators. Strange. There we go.
Good game. Could do with a kinder draw on Monday
evening. Sod it. Back here at home to
Oxford United.
