Crazy night for the Mariners last night. I’ve woken up feeling absolutely shattered in my London hotel room. Weird thing is, I genuinely thought we could do something against Southampton. Lady Luck was, for once, on our side and my second live taste of VAR was a lot more enjoyable than my first...

See you soon boys. x

Good lad. And you. ;) It’s happening, I tells ya.

Yeah, those are my thoughts. I was hoping Jones could hang on long enough to become a victim of the Grimsby reaper, but he always looked like he would talk himself out of a job, and so it proved. I know little of Selles, but that was an impressive result last week (regardless of Potter’s own...

The tournament was called “Comfort Day”, given the presence of several Yorkshire teams and the fabled words uttered by so many local tourists from the region, “We only come fut day, and ended staying fut week” (read in the best Yorkshire accent you can summon). I’m seeing an old mate tomorrow...

Aye, Debbie. Was a bit cringe to be fair, but when you’re a middling League Two club you’ve got to take what you can get I suppose.

I played in a football tournament that weekend in Cleethorpes (on the Saturday, with the game being played on the Sunday”. There were Town fans, Brighton fans, Rotherham and a couple of others. Must be someone on here who played in that.

It’s a hell of a trek for most, and yet we’ve sold 4,000 tickets with several days to go. We won’t sell all 4,800 I wouldn’t have thought, but it’s not bad for a club based 250 miles north with average gates of 6,500. We travel disproportionately well for a club of our size, in part due to the...

They’ve actually done a u-turn now and inflatable haddocks are in fact allowed. Bizarrely, it was covered far more extensively than the fact we’ve beaten four sides in leagues above us to get this far in he first place.

Thanks for that, really helpful. To be honest, if it was just me I’d probably avoid the chain pubs and go somewhere a bit more ‘crafty’, but on a matchday you have to go where the atmosphere is. If that’s a ‘spoons or a Yates’ it’ll do for me.

Belgium and Blues looks ace, thanks mate!

Yeah, Barnet once tried that. So we took a few thousand inflatables…and a mariachi band.

So, on Wednesday I’ll be heading to Southampton to attend Grimsby’s first appearance in the 5th round of the FA Cup since 1996, with a good 4,000 or so of my fellow fishy friends. Given the last time we played Southampton in any competition was 5 years before I was born (1978), it’s not an away...

This was very much my thinking. My wife will literally five miles to go to a shop to buy a basic item for 30p less. When I point out that she’s just spent about £5 in petrol, she simply says “well, you pay for that”. :rolleyes: Re: taking it back, I’ve got no chance at the local shop I suspect...

There’s a Prime tracker!!?? 😭

My lad’s 9 and obsessed with this stuff, or at least obsessed with the idea of it, because as of the weekend he’d never actually had any. And that’s when I rather fúcked up. Every day last week my wife had taken him to various Asda’s on the way back from school to try and get hold of some, to...

Of course, but it happens. Stevenage knocked out Aston Villa in the previous round, for instance. Just hoping Nathan Jones manages to hang on until then. If there’s any disgruntlement behind the scenes, what better way to get shot of him without doing further harm to your PL prospects than...

Saw it out somehow. Spent the entire second half camped in our own half but Luton huffed, puffed, but couldn’t blow our house down. Looking forward to a trip to Stains, now! Seems mad to say it but we’ve beaten sides in every division above us, barring the PL, to get this far - I fancy us. See...

The gunman, one Huu Can Tran, found dead. It is understood that police made the discovery after checking out his gravel pit. The mystery unravelin’. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-64368796

It may be an unpopular opinion, but I absolutely love Andy Murray. I do understand why people think he’s ‘boring’, but I think if you scratch beneath the surface there’s a genuinely interesting human being. I honestly struggle to think of someone of similar profile, talent, success and wealth...
