A MASSIVE £100,000 in just eight weeks…that's how much Grimsby Town supporters want our team to get back into the football league next season.

The astonishing response to a plea for cash from ordinary folk has seen money flood in to Blundell Park from around the globe – from Australia, American and China, as well as the town and local area.

Club officials have been left stunned, and very grateful, as they were expecting to raise just £20,000!

(Maybe we don't have it so bad after all...)

Next time you're reminiscing about the good old days of the Forty Notes Club, of being treated as a supporter and not just a customer, and having a club small enough to still listen, one with a real family feel, devoid of PR, spin, and corporate veneer, remember, this is what it actually looks like.

Everything in life is a trade-off.

Saw this on the local news last night, seems they raised a fair amount by selling newly designed inflatable haddocks :lolol: apparently the ones they've had all these yers were actually rainbow trout.

If the roles were reversed, I wonder what puns Grimsby supporters would make up about Brighton's economy? Stuff about credit card administration I suppose, and health insurance. Tricky.
