I was thinking that that first time at Braintree needed exorcising, until I read Les' reason for not attending. Strewth, talk about perspective.

But still, it'd be nice to come full circle.


I thought the same. Always thought how horrendous and terrifying having to go through an operation like that must be and then you find out it got him out of going to THAT game at Braintree

I can remember coming round from the operation in the evening and hearing Braintree 5 Grimsby Town 0 on the radio and thought that I must still be in theatre until I heard the result again the next morning.

This is something that I will never forget though, is that I was sat in my chair next to my bed the following morning with my head bandaged up, feeling sorry for myself when I heard that Matty Dawson (Mariner Matty) had died overnight. I'm not ashamed to say it reduced me to tears.Now THAT really puts things into perspective.

I'd forgotten that came out the next morning. Amazing to think it's already more than 4 years ago. Youre right about perspective. We all love that Shankly quote but hopefully nobody actually belives it.

This will be a difficult game I've seen them on the highlights show and they look very strong, I also thought Cheltenham looked good too. Let's hope we can be victorious at Braintree!


Grimsby and proud!

Think the home fans are worried about being outnumbered as they have been out in the town trying to get people to attend. Think (like others) it will be tough but if the ball gets passed around like it was on Tuesday then the chances should come.

Booting the ball up to a single person will probably play into their hands and they will control the game instead of GTFC doing so.

Lets be positive though and look to take the 3 points.
