I was on a bus in Hull last night going through their city centre and saw only one Targers top...it got me thinking about how many Town tops you see out and about in comparison to that

Maybe it's now becoming more acceptable to show some pride in our club rather than run the gauntlet of being taunted by the plastics and you know what fashion trends are like...once it gets going, you find more and more want to be seen wearing the same clobber to fit in with the rest.

Hopefully we get off to a great start to the season and even more will be encouraged to proudly wear their black and white stripes whenever and wherever they can  


Well, Podge has commented on the amount of Town shirts he's seen out and about.

I was in Skegvegas over the weekend in Wellies bar watching the Charity Shield in my town shirt. After about 15 mins some woman went past and shouted " Up the Mariners " and in the 2nd half a couple of blokes walked in. 1 came upto me, shook my hand and said " It was nice to see a proper football team in here "

Am out in Thailand with the wife for Xmas and New Year, so the true test will be to see if there's any fake Town tops on sale out there.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Suppose we will know when we've really arrived once someone posts a photo of man with hipster beard in East London coffee or barbers shop wearing a town shirt


I can do everything bar the hipster beard - I'm too old, and certainly too flipping unhip to sport one of those...


To quote - Insanely amazing or amazingly insane. Life as a Town Fan.

Quoted from Youngy
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.
People that support Grimsby are true fans and not plastic glory hunters in my opinion .Makes me laugh when people who live down in London support Man Utd or Grimsby locals supporting Man u.You should support a team that you have some connection to be it area you live etc.


One life,one love .

I am proud to tell people that I support Town wherever I am in the world, what I have noticed over the years is that "so called town fans" have give up and gone on to support other teams (premiership) because of where we are in the leagues, how can they be true fans?  


Grimsby and proud!
