The Sky's The Limit

GRIMSBY'S Carling Cup game with Tottenham at Blundell Park has been selected by Sky TV as their televised 2nd Round fixture.

Town's reward for beating Derby County will be a cash boost in the region of around £50K, from the satellite broadcaster, as well as half the gate receipts on the night when a bumper crowd is expected.

The match will take place on Tuesday 20th September, with a 19:45 kick-off.

The Mariners have not been on television since their final Division One game in May 2003, a 2-2 draw at home to fellow relegation victims Brighton.

September promisises to be a busy month for the Mariners with six league games in addition to the Tottenham encounter to put Russell Slade's squad through their paces.
