MORE than 2,000 tickets for Grimsby Town's crucial game against Newport County were snapped up on the first day they went on sale.
In a matter of hours, fans bought a third of the tickets on offer for the Conference play-off semi-finals.
It follows their 3-0 victory over the same opponents on Saturday – which the club hopes is a sign of things to come.
Now they are urging fans to grab their tickets quick for the game, which is expected to attract 7,000.
Ticket office manager Lisa Piggott was amazed at how quickly the tickets sold for the first leg which takes place at Blundell Park on Wednesday at 7.45pm.
She said: "We are expecting a 7,000 gate, so we are already a third of the way through in the first day of the sales of the tickets.
"There is certainly a lot of excitement around Grimsby Town at the moment. We are feeling the buzz after Saturday's game.
"The result couldn't have gone any better. We are all feeling very positive about getting to Wembley. Hopefully this is going to be our year.
"We need to get back in the league."
The second leg is at Rodney Parade next Sunday.
Kidderminster Harriers will face Wrexham in the other semi-final, with Mansfield Town promoted as champions.
Lisa added: "If fans need certain seats they need to get down here as soon as possible."
