I wrote an account of what promotion really means for us Grimsby fans. I've shared it on Twitter, but not on here (until now).

Hopefully it captures the emotion of the day:

PS. If you have a video that you'd like me to add to the list, let me know!

I saw that the other day Rich. Very powerful.

It hit me again today at work. I had a call with a Spanish colleague and at the end she said, 'Oh I forgot, how did you get on last Sunday?' [she meant play off not Trophy] As I was telling her about the result and the release of emotion and what it means, I started to get a lump in my throat. I told her I was starting to get choked and had to struggle to control it. Then I added, 'And that's the only way you'll get emotion out of an Englishman'.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Great read that Rich, well done mate. I think you pretty much summed up how we all felt on the day. In 40 years of following Town, I have been lucky enough to have seen promotions before, but that day was by far the best atmosphere and most emotional (including relegations) that I have ever experienced.
I am so proud to have shared it with all Town fans who were there.

Great work mate. Watching those videos regularly still, and it takes me back to the joyful emotion. Fantastic!

My denture flew out during the second goal and I was terrified someone would stand on it.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.
