Big Match Live: Grimsby Town 0 Cambridge United 1

“Big club in a little league syndrome, same again next season.”

“Almost guaranteed a play off place, with nearly a quarter of the season left, the best defence in the division, and at least one appearance at Wembley to look forward to. Can any of our 'fans' honestly say they wouldnt have been satisfied with this progress from last season back in August?
The injuries we've sustained to key players have come at a bad time, but we will hopefully get Niven, Disley, Hannah and Pearson back for the crucial end of season games.

U.T.M.”

“Dailyman ...you did explain.... However with towns superb form and performances I doubt whether the sales will increase that much...... On review of previous finals and attendances and revenues reported they don't match your figure... I understand the maths but frankly it's still a tin pot cup however I am excited at the prospect of GTFC now having more money to spend in the non league....as apposed to exiting this horrendous league, moving upwards, increased revenue and being a football league side again....”

“Season over”

“LincsMariner. I can't really be bothered to explain but Town will receive 45% of the gate receipts, so expect that to be in the region of £350,000 + potentially £50k for winnng the final + all the other rounds receipts/prize money. Probably nearing £500k. Not to be sniffed at. Certainly not tin pot.”

“LincsMainer. 45% of the final gate receipts will go to GTFC. If there is an attendance of 30,000 fo example and half are childrens tickets then 15,000 x £15 = £225,000 and 15,000 adults x £30 = £450,00. Total Receipts = £675,000, meaning Town will receive £303,750, and this is for an attendance of 30,000. Obviously will receive more if the attendance is higher. There is also 50k for the winner plus all the other receipts and prize money from the other rounds. I expect more than 30,000 to attend so don't be surprised if Town receive £350k+ for the gate receipts alone.”

“Dairyman, it may be worth approx 150k at max..........league football priceless...it's a tin pot cup.......”

“Did'nt look interested Today. Second to the ball on most occasions and couldn't string more than two passes together(looked like a team who had never played together). After having a good game midweek despite the score , I would have thought they'd have be up for it Today.

Lets sort out next weeks distraction and concerntrate on the real prize,

FOOTBALL LEAGUE STATUS!!!!!!! UTM.”

“It may be a waste of time cup to some people but its £300,000-£400,000k in the bank over the competition. That'll mean we have a team to support next year in whatever division.”

“Agree with all comments on here poor game indeed,Hatton to me was terrible with his delivery from free kicks every attempt.From the start to finish a lackadaisical display from Grimsby Town. The highlight of the match for me was Liam Hearn coming on,great to see him back and getting through his first game ok,he did well better than some players i won't mention.No blips this time S&H ...... get the magic wand out!!utm.”
