    There's a possibility that we'll end the season in a play-off final @ Wembley.
    I'm not betting on it, but there's a chance.

    But I was thinking more of the Conference play-off final. There's a real ding-dong
    going on at the top, with Cheltenham Town and Forest Green Rovers neck and neck.

    Grimsby are a little off the pace in 3rd place, and play FGR tonight at the New Lawns.

    Going to Wembley is always an experience, so I was wondering if you would be thinking of
    going if:

    a. Cheltenham Town were playing
    b. Forest Green Rovers were playing
    c. somehow another team pipped them both and it was a Cheltenham Town v FGR game.

    I would certainly seriously consider going if it was b. or c.

    For me, no way.

    However I have been keeping an eye on that league after last season. Dont know why though. If we go up to L1, I wouldnt look back at L2, so I dont know why I been keeping an eye out for results and the table for the National League. I been looking out for Monkhouse and now Blissett. Looks like Grimsby yet again in the play offs. Wonder if they fail again!

    Personally,I wouldn't cross the street to watch Cheltenham, let alone go to Wembley! I'm not convinced we will make it to the play - off final this season but being the eternal optimist, I've already booked the 30th May off work, just in case! Haven't got a problem with FGR, in fact thinking about it, I couldn't care less about them either way so I certainly wouldn't go to Wembley to watch them. To be fair, if there was any justice, Grimsby will actually make it this time, one way or another. I cant imagine following a team that has come so close so many times and blown it at the end. I am so relieved we got out that league first time, seeing us have to play some of those teams was soul destroying and while I think that dropping out of the league will prove to be a blessing in disguise,its not an experience I would wish on any team (except Bristol City of course!! )

    Grimsby go 1-0 up tonight.
    Oh the irony! Monkhouse gets the ball on the left and puts in a lovely chip
    to the far post. Disley arrives late to leap and put a glancing header just inside the post.
    Oh to have a CM who scores goals!
