In 12 hours (overnight), to just season ticket holderrs. Wonder what we could have sold, possibly close to 10k.

 

[GTFCfish]

Thankfully I was online at 12:01 last night on my break to get my lad his ticket, buzzing for him that he’s gonna get to to see us play in an FA Cup quarter final, something I will never be able to say for myself.

Tickets half the price of the disgraceful Play-off final rip-off, not much further, wouldn't see any reason for a difference in the numbers if tickets unlimited...

Which one?

 

[BlackHaddock]

Rumour has it Man City are shitting it, just in case they get us in the Semi-Final.

 

[Son of Cod]

Nerves/excitement for this have really kicked in for me this morning. Gonna be a slow couple of days for Town fans.

Too right they are, this just proves that we are pretty much the best team in England.
FEAR US!!!!

I've been told Brighton have 10 players who were at the World Cup, our whole squad watched it on TV. That is the gulf between the teams.

Disclaimer: It might have been 8!

I just hope you’re not posting that last sentence come 4:15 on Sunday!

Setting off today for a 2 night stay, got to make the very most of it and to say ‘I was there’ will be more than enough for me and anything else is just incomprehensible.

Enjoy the experience and hopefully the result, Brighton are due "a bad day at the office".

Wishing GTFC all the best for tomorrow, for the fans, club and town have a fantastic day and my make sure your in the draw for the semis !!

 

[Cas]

I echo that. Good luck tomorrow. Hope you go and win.

 

[GTFCfish]

Gutted I won’t be there but I’ve just said to my lad whatever you do enjoy the day as it might not ever come round again. Sounds corny I know but I don’t want him being down if/when we lose as just getting here is a monumental achievement. So bloody excited though, UTM!!

 

[Son of Cod]

Don't think I've ever wanted a Saturday to go as quickly as I did yesterday. Woke at 4am and then had broken sleep, got up at 6.40am after having then having had two Town related dreams and I'm on the train now. Absolutely can't wait for this. There won't be a team anywhere in the world of football this weekend getting a reception coming onto the pitch like our lot are gonna get today, regardless of whether or not we do ourselves proud that won't be taken away from us and neither will the beers in the hours leading up to it and the pre-match concourse atmosphere. Anything else on top of that will be a bonus. Come on Town!!

Chuffed for you that you managed to get a ticket mate, have a great day.

Yeah I really savoured the concourse at Southampton before the game and at half time because I fully expected us to lose so I wanted to enjoy the atmosphere and soak it all in, even 1-0 up at half time I was still expecting to lose so as you say times like that can never be taken away.
My lad says today he just wants a goal to celebrate, even if we go 1 up and then lose 6-1 he said he will be more than happy.

 

[BarraMatt]

Keeper's got to push that to the side there at the absolute minimum.

Superb following behind the goal.

 

[hellogregory]

Pathetic goalkeeping by Crocombe.

 

[Super_horns]

Strong Brighton team too .

 

[Gladders]

Poor defending for the goal, no one reacted. Done ok since in holding out Brighton but been very poor when we do get the ball.

Need to make better passes going forward but the difference in quality is there for all to see, think it's only a matter of time before they get another.

 

[Super_horns]

Goalie probably got away with at least a booking there for handball outside the area .

 

[Ninety Per Cent]

Thank fuck that’s over
Now Hurst has some money to waste

 

[Gladders]

Was fun while it lasted, difference in quality was far too big, but credit to our fans still in stadium and singing with pride 15 mins after full time despite losing 5-0.

Nice bit of money made, hopefully we spend it well in the summer and push for a play off finish next season.

 

[hellogregory]

Grimsby were really poor in my opinion. Going out with a whimper from minute 1, not even trying to play. Only interested in trying to keep the scoreline down. Admittedly I switched off after an hour as I couldn’t watch another minute, so if they really had a go in the last 30 minutes then fair play, but I doubt.

I realise this will trigger some Grimsby reactions, but I’m only saying it because I expected more from the team.

I think we had a plan to try and contain and did ok (kept to a single goal for 45 mins), we lost 5-0 playing that way, if we tried to give it a go, it probably would have been 10. I do think we were poor when we had the ball though, with many miss placed passes, but that was probably just that Brighton were a yard ahead of us and didn't give us time to pass.

We had a couple chances in the second half, prolly helped by McAtee being on, but also the game was over by then.

Manager to blame, Should have told the players to go enjoy it and have a go and
Give the fans someting to remember.

I see GTFCfish didnt go, no free ticket and travel offers this time?
