Is it just me or is following Town the latest new fashion trend around the town?

The amount of people who are buzzing about the Mariners or simply taking an interest in the club is fantastic. I was sat in my car the other day outside Tesco with my shirt on and a random tapped on my window and starting saying about how he was going to more games this season. Customers of mine are telling me about there road trips planned for the season. Lads walking around town today shouting UTM when they see a Town shirt. It's brilliant.

The thing that pleases me the most though is the new generation of support. A few year back I was genuinely worried that we had lost a generation of support but seeing the amount of youngsters and teens going to games now and attending the open day, it's brilliant to see and long may it continue.

200 miles away but great to hear about this vibe.  Great for the town as well as Town - Grimsby is the butt of lots of cheap jokes and this team are restoring our pride.

I commented to my wife today about the amount of people wearing Town tops, in and around Grimsby, including Louth. It's great to see, UTM

I was at Butlins at weekend, my mate had Town top on. Some geezer in a Liverpool top shouted "Up The Mariners!" and a few random had a yarn with him about Town.

Hopefully the first comment shows it's becoming cool for the plastics to find a little place in their hearts for their hometown club?

Managed to convert my local guide in Guatemala to follow Town instead of Liverpool when I told him about Operation promotion and showed him some videos of our support.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

The last time the whole Town really got behind the Mariners was the Buckley years. after the cup run of the 88-89 season it was as if we all new we was going to steam roller the league the next season.
Again that buzz got bigger and bigger and took us all the way to what is now the championship.

Around that time everyone was a Mariner.

One of the most enjoyable things about Towns match at Boston was a group of children in the seats , probably numbering around 15 or so... singing town songs and chanting... earned a round of applause from the standing  "senior " fans behind the goal... great to see a new generation of town fans....

At this rate we'll be attracting "plastics" from other towns
