On this day five years ago I made a first visit to the new Wembley Stadium to watch an exciting National League Promotion Final, Grimsby Town sealing a return to the Football League by beating Forest Green Rovers.
Sitting close to the halfway line that day it was clear to see how much the result meant, both to Mariners' supporters and those in official positions at the club.
Returning back to the National League will, of course, have hit people hard and it has been a dismal season, on and off the pitch.
But the man who masterminded that promotion, Paul Hurst, is back in charge and, more significantly, a takeover of the club by Andrew Pettit and Jason Stockwood has recently been completed.
The Mariners Trust continue to do great work connecting the club and the community.
