Doesn't sound like there will be any first team regulars involved tomorrow.

Quoted Text
"Every year we have the Lincs Cup and we're told that we have to play games by a certain date and so we plan pre-season around that.

"We pencilled in when we were going to play Grantham, but then a couple of days before we were due to play, we find out that they can't play it.

"I don't know if it was the Lincolnshire FA or Grantham, but we then provided an alternative and they didn't want to do that either.

"So as a result we won't be taking anything like a first-choice team tomorrow night – it'll be Youth lads and the young pros.

"Therefore, I know that we'll be taking nowhere near as many fans as we perhaps would have done, but there you go.

"I'm not fussed at all about the result tomorrow night – it'll be a good test for our young lads and that's it really."

Sorry, I don't buy it at all.

If we were that keen on getting it played in the week that the Lincs FA scheduled that round for we would have left last Tuesday (21st July) free. But we didn't, we played Huddersfield Town instead. Both Grantham & Brigg Town had left the date free. We chose not to.

It seems obvious that we never intended to send the First Team to this match. We clearly wanted to play it last Wednesday with the squad that went to the hastily arranged friendly with Brigg, but Grantham don't have access to their stadium on Wednesdays.

I don't know if there are any rules about putting out a strong team and whether the Lincs FA have any power to take action against us, but to me we are just trying to shift the blame when we had to no intention of sending the first team squad.

It doesn't bother me what side we put out as I live just over a mile from Grantham's stadium and I would go whatever, but I think the club is big enough not to try and point the finger at a semi-pro Evostik Premier side to justify the squad we always planned to field.

But Golly, the Wednesday date was announced as the date of the fixture weeks before the Brigg/Grantham game was announced so why didn't Grantham make a point then of saying they couldn't play it on that date?
