Our away following will be far bigger now at the like of Hartlepool. Had conversation on here that we didn't used to take many to a good portion of the games over couple hours away and got told by many I clearly didn't know what I was on about... Bollox, we had a faithful few hundred most the time.

We'll be rocking next season, partying with vastly swollen ranks (so long as we competing well) -bet a lot of teams will be shocked at us being nothing like they remember.

Quoted from 97


I seem to remember there was even trouble amongst Town fans in the away end that day. Very hot afternoon...


There were a few hundred of us in the home seats too!! Some lads travelling to Chesterfield midweek to bring back wads of tickets. Was with a couple of lads from Arsenal who couldn't believe the support. Same day as Bournemouth v Leeds which drew all the headlines. Seem to remember the game was stopped for a while and end of season "celebrations" on their pitch.. by just us the Town fans. Tinpot as we are, Chesterfield fans thought better of their own on pitch celebrations..

Judging our following on JPT game is bad enough - but who really wants to spend Boxing Day in Hartlepool?

Is that why Monkhouse got so much flak?

I have seen Town play in the second tier (i.e. the Championship) from 1980 to 1987, from 1991 to 1997, and from 1998 to 2003.

I'd like to know how may season Chesterfield have spent in the 2nd tier in the same period.

Oh, just checked. answer NONE.

In fact they haven't been in the second tier since the 1930's, when of course we were in the top division. Chesterfield have never played in the top division.

If we are tinpot what on earth are they? at a guess I'd say shitpot.

Barnsley, Sheff Utd, Leeds, Birmingham, Derby, Wolves, Sunderland and the like all remember games against us for many seasons at Championship level and are glad we are back in the league.

The Chesterfields, Donny Rovers, and Scunthorpes, are teams we rarely played so you can forgive them as they rarely looked above what is now League 1, in fact most were League 2.

And speaking of the bent church spire choir, they haven't been in the 2nd tier of English football since they were relegated out of it 1952 ish, the cnuts. We have spent more time in the top flight than they ever did at Championship level.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

There's worse out there !! I went on Scunnies Iron Bru site to gauge their reaction to our promotion and one of their jokers called us " tinpot "! FFS this is from a club that plays football in a ground with bike sheds for stands !!
