Day Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 If you haven’t heard, It’s Grimsby Town v Solihull Moors at London Stadium on Sunday. They claimed they needed a 50,000 seater stadium in case Wrexham and Notts County made it. The cheapest ticket is £40, plus £3 booking fee per ticket and 99p digital delivery, £45 for a seat further up where you need binoculars to see the pitch. Initially there were no concessions for under 16’s and after the League chairman tried to justify the prices, the sponsor has now weighed in suggesting they may help. For comparison, the cheapest ticket for the Championship Play Off Final was £36. But remember, football without fans is nothing…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pathetic, Wrexham, and Notts could easily have played at Villa Park, Manchester or Liverpool. Derby or Leicester could have hosted Grimsby and Solihull. All it takes is a bit of imagination and a football fan at heart to sort stuff like this out. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have one Northern venue and one Southern venue booked ready, no point in sending fans into the capital where prices are insane. uttoxram75 and Ramrob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Between Monday 2.15pm and Tuesday 10pm, Mariners Trust raised 20k from fans and local businesses to buy tickets for families that can’t afford them. That’s some effort for a club of that size. Ghost of Clough, Crewton, Ramrob and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one train which arrives in London (King's Cross) before kickoff (13:40) and two trains running after the game finishes (21:05 and 22:35) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thames White Bait fleet relocated to Grimsby many moons ago, as did the Youngs family operations from Essex, so many of them should know the way by instinct.
