My Grandfather did, my Dad did.
Born Grimsby 1960, Nunsthorpe nursing home like everyone else!
Went to first game with my Dad in 1966... Barrett stand.
Started going regularly with a mate and his parents age10, they went in the Main stand we sat on the fence just behind the goal at the Pontoon end.
Saw every home game of the 71/72 season and was in the GET pictures of the team mobbed after the Exeter game.
Spent many an hour at the old Peaks lane training ground up past the YMCA in the early 70s.
Stuart Brace was my hero followed by Harry,Harry Harry...  And Davie, Davie Boylen, flying down the wing!!
Moved away in 1978... But watch them whenever possible and there's never been another team for me.
Up the Mariners, Up the Mariners, .....ad infinitum!

Quoted from Fcukthescunts
Born in Leeds. My Dad was Town fan. I got taken to a Leeds match before moving to Keelby but when I watched town I was hooked. Since moving over to Preston I have become more keen and proud to be a Town fan. Many work colleagues are PNE fans (actually off to watch PNE with them tomorrow) but we have respect for each other because of past history's in our lifetime. UTM


I know who you are !

Family indoctrination - my dad started me off by taking me to reserve games until I fell asleep. The first first team game I went to was a winning result 2-0 and I've been hooked ever since.

Born in Grimsby. Moved away to Northampton in 1994 only a couple of years after getting into  Town and going to a few home games, so pretty gutted when the folks told me we was moving to Northampton. But yeh support Town and always will , have done for 20 years. UTM

Had the choice really of being a Port Vale fan or a Grimsby fan I would of been disowned if I supported a top 4 premiership team or Stoke City. Just happened to be my Dad took me to see Grimsby first so thats that really


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best
