Hope Grimsby stay up, and Chester go down, hopefully to a lower league than Lancaster :lol:

I see Chester have reduced their admission to £10 for the rest off the season, though in this case its more about getting extra support for the team in their relegation fight.

I wonder if the offer of free coach travel to away games would get more people following the Shrimps on the road?

I think there would be a lot of people who would take up an offer like that, particularly in these difficult times.

West Ham laid on free coach travel for the F.A cup game at wigan recently and took about 4000 supporters, Grimsby have filled all of the free places on the 12 coaches that they are taking to Chester on Saturday.

It would have to be something special for us to do that though, maybe an away game at the end off the season that if we won would get us into the playoffs.

If Grimsby beat Chester and as a consequence of that avoid relegation then you would say it was money well spent.
