What should have been a day to remember for a group of Brigg area football fans turned to deep disappointment, and anger, as they were left stranded in North Lincolnshire, rather than being ferried down to Wembley to watch Grimsby Town play in the Johnstone' Paint Trophy final against MK Dons.
Martin North, who played amateur football for many teams in the Brigg area including Brigg Amateurs and Black Bull, told Brigg Blog: "I just thought you might be interested to know about the utter disappointment myself, my son and six more people encountered on what should have been a super day out at the New Wembley on March 30.
"We were supposed to have been picked up at Briggate Lodge at about 6.20am. The coach never arrived.
"This was a trip organised by GTFC Supporters' Club and we can't seem to get any answers as to why, and who is responsible. And are we to get a refund?"
Former Brigg landlord Martin describes himself as '£117 out of pocket'.
We are forwarding Martin's story to our colleagues at the Grimsby Telegraph, in the hope they can find out what went wrong.
