We all a bit in different? Couldn't care less? Eastleigh v Grimsby.

Eastleigh I think.
Even though they beat us and Grimsby have yet to score against us, I still think Grimsby are the better side (which to be fair the league table demonstrates) and will be better equipped to handle the big occasion at Wembley.
That said, I like Grimsby as a football club. However, given we obviously want us to win the playoffs, we're ultimately hoping it ends in disappointment for them anyway - so might as well be the semis rather than the final that they suffer the disappointment.

I do however wonder though whether it is fate for us to beat both FGR and Eastleigh as we owe both of them one.

Grimsby are by far the bigger and better club and will bring a lot of fans to Wembley which would make for a very impressive crowd (should we be there of course!)
However, I also think Grimbsy are more likely to beat us than Eastleigh and with Eastleigh's not so impressive fan base, we could make Wembley like a home game and should easily outnumber their fans by around 4:1 I reckon.

For that very reason alone I want it to be Eastleigh. I wan't to completely outnumber them at Wembley and make it a home game. |

IF, big if, we get to Wembley I would want to face the worst team of the two!
So, I suppose the best outcome would be for one team to look so much better than the other but somehow fail to win; such as a terrible referring decision, or a goalkeeping slip.
I would be gutted to lose to Eastleigh due to their history, size, sugar daddy approach etc.
Losing to the 3rd highest team in the league wouldn't seem quite so bad.

Prefer Grimsby as a club, and it would make a great occasion at Wembley, with a big crowd.
But in terms of us getting a result if we make the final, Eastleigh...

Losing to Eastleigh at Wembley might just finish me off.

Our reasons are pretty much the same as Grimsby wanting us to slip up and not make the final. Both of us wanting our biggest promotion rival to get knocked out in the semi's.

Regardless of the outcome playing in front of 60,000/70,000 at Wembley must surely be more attractive than playing in front of 40,000/50,000 if Eastleigh get though? Although I have a feeling Eastleigh have a better balanced team than FGR and may well beat Grimsby. I'm looking forward to watching tonight's game!

I honestly don't care...finish off FGR 4-0 at home and then a simple 2-0 victory at Wembley (against anyone) will do me nicely...

I'd like Eastleigh just because I think it'd be amusing to outnumber the fans as heavily as we would, as for the game itself I think we'd beat one just the same as the other

I didn't realize Grimsby had been in the playoffs twice but never got through to the final.
Based on that I'd rather have Eastleigh. Grimsby would feel it was their time if they get through.

Grimsby all the way for me. I'm confident we can beat either of them - if we get there - but the atmosphere at the match would be so much better playing the Fishies. It would be a bit depressing looking out at 7,000 Eastleigh fans. Only 16,000 turned up in total in 2013 - and that was Newport v Wrexham, neither of them pub teams, so I wouldn't expect many from Eastleigh to make the trek. They're all Southampton fans down there anyway.

Don't care who gets through, just hoping for a few red cards and maybe the odd injury (nothing serious though) that weakens either team for the final.
