Quoted from Youngy
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?


Announced by who? Us on our OS and to the local media? It takes 2 to organise a fixture, not just the bigger club trying to bully the smaller one in to accepting unsuitable dates.

Grantham Town never committed to playing on that date, why would they when they don't have access to their stadium on Wednesdays. And that's not a new situation, it's been the same for nearly 25 years since they moved there.

The truth is we wanted to play on that Wednesday and announced it without properly consulting with both possible opponents and checking whether it was a viable date. Brigg were obviously happy with it (as we played them anyway) and Grantham couldn't.

Anyway, that's irrelevent. My disappointed in Grimsby's actions are that they have now used the argument over a date as an excuse to field a youth team and have blamed Grantham for it. You only have to look at our fixtures to see that there was never any free date where we would have sent a strong side. We always intended to send a weakened team. To point the finger at Grantham like they are in the wrong is disappointing and is the sort of thing that I thought we had moved away from in the last couple of years.

Re: Cleethorpes Town.

The new format (10 teams) was agreed last season and the draw made before Brigg Town were relegated. At the time the competitions included all clubs in Lincolnshire playing at Level 8 (Evostik Northern Premier League Divison One North/South and above). Brigg Town now play in the same division as Cleethorpes Town.

It is highly unlikely that either Brigg Town or Cleethorpes Town will be in the competition next season, unless either win promotion to Step 8. There are plenty of step 9 clubs in Lincolnshire:-
Barton Town Old Boys (NCEL Premier)
Boston Town (UCL Premier)
Brigg Town (NCEL Premier)
Cleethorpes Town (NCEL Premier)
Deeping Rangers (UCL Premier)
Harrowby United (UCL Premier)
Holbeach United (UCL Premier)
Sleaford Town (UCL Premier)
So I am guessing out for fairness you either include all 8 and have a 17 team competition or have none and go with 9 teams next season.

I'm not saying you're wrong but why are you so sure it was GTFCs fault re Grantham that we decided and didn't agree with them?
