Sadly this means we won't get Spurs away or Tottenham at White Hart Lane this time out

 

[MaxiRobriguez]

Can we play Derby or are they in the "shit" region?

Are they bothering?

 

[BryanRoy22]

Must say, out of all the black British managers around at the moment, Darren Moore has always impressed me the most and is very likeable too.

Really hope Sheffield Wednesday get a good draw and do well this season.

Grimsby away

 

[NFFC_Josh]

Great away day

Potential banana skin

We haven’t had a game away like that for a while.

 

[BryanRoy22]

Grimsby. Get your fishing rods out. Let's do it for Jack Lester.

 

[Captain Sinister]

Grimsby (A)

I recall going to an evening away game at Grimsby back in the 90s. It seemed like we'd entered a Lovecraftian horror story when we arrived in Cleethorpes, especially after we got a flat and ended up stuck there for an hour or two afterwards. A drab game too, if I remember right. Be nice to go back again

Div 1 with Frank Clark!

Teams such as Grimsby, Tranmere and Oxford.

That was a weird season.

Grimsby away! That was one of my first away days that was. Blundell Park was a right shithole, but their pies were spot on.

I hope Cooper remembers the effect the cup run had on our season last year and plays the first team throughout.

I completely agree. Last season we completely disproved the myth that a cup run is detrimental to league form; in fact it actually proved to be quite the opposite for us. Play to win.

The so few games this season will be noticable as well

We are so used to Sat Tues Sat Tues, this week seems like it's gone on forever.

The more cup games we have the quicker we can gel the squad together.

I have vague memories of the game, most notably a post-match fish supper in Cleethorpes before the drive back.

I'd expect the core of the side to be British for this tie as they will fully appreciate the importance of winning it.

 

[Omar Devone Little]

Strongest XI for this one. Need another 90 mins playing with each other and a win can breed confidence.

I remember going there one evening, only for the game to be called off, due to a frozen pitch!

Fixed that for you Frank.

Yes,1994-we kept checking on the drive up to be told consistently the game was definitely on (despite the
freezing conditions) and forecast sub-zero night.
Sure enough-we were told by the pub landlord around 7.00 PM that the game was off.
A boozy night in Cleethorpes ensued (as we were staying overnight anyway).

That probably would have been the Birds Eye, Youngs, or Findus effect.

I've often wondered how those rides on the beach have never been swept away by high tides.

Went there to the last away match of the 93-94 season, a few days after Peterborough. Bit of a dead rubber 0-0 draw. Nice day out in Cleethorpes though. Much better than the couple of visits I'd done with Wrexham, getting ambushed by the Grimsby mob waiting in that pub on the corner with the curtains closed. I remember protecting myself by swinging a traffic cone around and hitting a couple of them.

Can't do it this time though. Going to be in Great Yarmouth from the Monday to the Friday and it's a three hour drive. Was hoping for Norwich or Colchester, but they were in the Southern section.
