I'm sure the Radio Robins lads were good, and the Grimsby radio professional but if you didnt actually see the game you'd struggle to believe what it was like.
By my watch the game kicked off at 2:58 and robbed them off the ball at kick off, charged forward and Reeves was just about to bury it one on one when he got tackled by some great defending.
Then (I dont know what time this was) Reeves had a goal disallowed for offside. Clee is ripping them apart, everyone is battling like warriors and the 4000 Grimsby fans are going " whats going in here then?"
We continue is the same vein and Johnson misses an unmarked sitter from 3 yards out.
We continued to work so so hard and even when they had pressure we didnt look like conceding.
Dootson made a great save from one shot but we held out so well.
Grimsby played like we would play on "pay what you want day"...I bet the commercial department were just shaking their heads!
Thank you to Grimsby for allowing us to use the vouchers, decent gesture that.
And Flynny buying 40 copies of the Grimsby Telegraph must go down as a classic Alty moment.
The scenes at the end and when Darlington scored were superb...Robbie Lawton, Carl P and Stuart in particular were going mental.
I've had my pride restored..maybe after Saturday that's all I could ask for.
