News From 25th June 2000

Sky Sports have announced that will be televising next season's home game against West Brom. The fixture has been switched to Sunday 29th October with a 1pm Kick Off.

The news is a boost for the club's coffers as Grimsby will earn £50,000 for the TV game, in addition to the money they receive through gate receipts.

The fixture has quite a history over the years, mainly due to Alan Buckley having managed West Brom in between his two spells at Grimsby, and several ex-Baggies in Grimsby's squad.

Last season's game ended in a 1-1 draw which Grimsby reportedly should have won.
