Some decent players on show in this play off final

Tough on Solihull after finishing third and well ahead of Grimsby on points. However, I prefer Grimsby in our league than Solihull.

What's the ground like?

Pretty decent, but you'd expect it from an ex league club.

I wonder if Mark Ellis be returning to us now his loan spell has finished ?

As he’s contracted for next season, yes he will be.

Better than ours

I was there in the season after they came down to the National league. From memory, it seemed like an old style ground that reminded me of our (former) football league days. It's in Cleethorpes and seems a long journey once you leave the M180 near Doncaster, out on a limb like Barrow I suppose.

Thought he was asking re Grimsby as they had just been promoted

They are not in EFL 2 yet, are they? Thought it was pretty obvious who I was referring to. Planning my away trips for next season

Or we might sign a couple of centre backs?

Ellis might go back out on loan or maybe we will free transfer list him.

Thats pretty accurate Jim. Surrounded by fish & chip shops and multiple rather shabby establishments (reminds me a bit of Central Drive in Blackpool) and actually in the Borough of Cleethorpes. Blundell Park is a bit of a mausoleum but I'm of an age now where big old stadia bring a tear to the eye. Wont have problems getting tickets.

Ellis best centre back at the club, including last season.
