A brilliant post and I wholeheartedly agree.

Grimsby have proven that even if you spend a lot money at this level promotion is not guaranteed especially if you finish in the playoffs. On Monday they looked up for it and hungry and they have been like a machine in the playoffs thus far. They’ve played four hours of football over two games in five days and have come out winners on both occasions. They actually deserve to go on and get promoted now because to do that clearly shows they have a tough mentality, are resilient and industrious with a never say die attitude and so much energy. They are not the most glamorous or qualities but it’s got them two wins over a high end side (Wrexham) and a football purist side (Notts)

This league is without a doubt the toughest of all the professional leagues in England to get promoted from. You can spend your way out, play your way out, but if you are not consistently exceptional you enter the lottery of the playoffs.
