National League Fixtures - 14th September

[Shrimper92]

Well, it would be a big surprise to us all here. We have a faint hope, hearing that your midfield was not the best, we get outmuscled easily. Unless he has a plan B (unlikely) , Searle will play 5-3-2 , with, unbelievably, no width. We have no wingers in the club. Relying on the full -backs to get forward is a no-go when we are pressed. Loanee striker Corrie Andrews can do the job in the unlikely event he gets some service.
Plenty of effort, but shot of confidence, 2-0 Southend, always hopeful, but dreading it’s not worse.

Our midfield is dreadful. We keep playing 5 at the back for some reason.

We've won 17 of our last 104 league games so you have a chance

One of those was against us last season, it doesn't count, so only 16 wins out of 104 really.

Hilarious that the Wrexham fans have taken our reasonable comments and opinions on their new ownership and obscene wage budget and decided it means we think of them as a rival.

 

[Sparrow]

This rivalry Grimsby fans have with Wrexham is getting ridiculous.

 

[EnglishRed]

what a bunch of bullies.

When they went up their budget was probably double ours at the time, you didn't see us complaining. We just banged on about how sustainable we were.

When was the last sell out please?

Couldn't tell you what a sell out is these days, as no one really knows the official capacity i guess! (Apparently 9.5k but I doubt that, and I think it's 1800 in away end)

However anything over 7k is usually pretty close to a home sell out, and most games against Lincoln and Sunny the past 10 years have been well over 7k including over 8k for an FA game against Scunny in 2013.

I'll take Lew's word for it that this is the first mid week sell out for a league game since 2004.

Expecting our first defeat of the season tonight

We never play well in front of a large crowd, you are safe, ever more so when it's called off

Suspicious mention of referees decisions by Stockwood there.

We're going to be reffed out of it.

 

[GTFCfish]

Sold out now, shame it’s gonna get called off in a few hours.

Traditional Non league clubs are usually reffed out of it against proper ex-league clubs, just the way things are.

 

[BlackHaddock]

The weather will decide whether the game goes ahead, the ref is just the person who passes on the information.

We've had some work done in the close season on our drainage (which has always been pretty good anyway); unless there is a biblical amount the game should be on.

Our team of binmen, postal workers and forklift drivers are going to be up for a game against you fancy dan professionals though. Would surely be our biggest ever scalp if we can scrape a draw.

A bit of pre match viewing. Coldest day ever.

Garry Hill said it’s the worst attempt at stoking up a rivalry that he’s ever seen.

Traditional non league clubs love winning the FA trophy

Traditional non league teams love employing Richard Brodie

We only signed him so he would miss the penalty to avoid the embarrassment of winning the trophy.

Incredible amount of Wrexham related threads on that Fishy forum. Following our every move.

Even had a dedicated one for our game against Notts

What an absolutely charming bloke he was/is. So glad he donned the Black & White for a while.

We love a rags to riches drama (especially if it all ends in tears).

think you will find that was a Notts related thread. who do you think you are?

We have 3 of our regulars injured tonight although the keeper is one and most want him dropped already. A 3-1 home win looks the best bet. we are unbeaten away from home though

Give me a 'B', Give me an 'R', Give me a 'Z'...... I think I'll stick to calling our 2nd choice keeper Marcin

Looks like the worst of the rain is subsiding and we might well have a game on, great news

 

[Hollywood Red]

Another tough away match tonight at least we are getting them out of the way early. In front of Grimsby's biggest gate for 18 years? The attraction little old Wrexham has these days. Think we will continue our unbeaten run but we may have to earn it .

Possible biggest mid week evening gate, not biggest gate, you ain't that special.

 

[B2TF]

Does the Boringham Wood fan use this forum by any chance? Any commentary tonight from the Black Hole that is Boringham Wood?

You joke but there’s a few on your forum who genuinely believe that to be true which is tragic

When was the last sell out please?

The last time Blundell Park was full, save for segregation, would have been Scunthorpe in the FA Cup in 2015, the last home sell-out would have been Lincoln a couple of months later that season - pre-Cowley so most Lincoln fans didn't have sat-navs that navigated the A46 in those days.

The home areas would have been close to full for the Notts game that saved our bacon.
