Quoted from HertsGTFC
In the 70s when I first started going to BP and onwards we have not really played them that often so I always disliked them, Lincoln and the Scunts but had what can be termed as a "football hatred" for Sheff W, Sheff U, Leeds and Barnsley.

In recent years though the sickening sucking up to anyone involved with The Targers by anyone remotely involved with Radio Humberside has fostered a rekindled hatred for them, well done & thank you  Dave Burns I say!  



Yes, I'm the same. I don't remember any nasty rivalry between supporters when I was a lad and I actually used to like watching the Wagstaff/Chilton/Houghton side. We never hated people from Hull because our family had fishermen who sailed from there from time to time. Quite a lot of Grimsby fisher families from the Freemo area moved back and forth between Hull & Grimsby, right up to the 60s. Any friendliness though was knackered when Radio Humberside came along, followed by that county we all loathed.

Hull were always our rivals in my early days of watching Town.

Special trains for the away fixture from Cleethorpes straight to Boothferry Park.

Why can't it be like it was in the fifty's and sixties watching football.

Avoided all the results yesterday so i could watch MOTD unawares....wish i had tuned into Radio Humberside now and been able to listen to Burnsy & Swanny slowly descend into more and more depressed tones as the goals went in.

Because in those days kids used to try and behave like adults whereas today adults try and behave like kids.


We always went on the ordinary train & ferry to have some dinner at my auntie's in Holderness Rooaaad. We just took a bit of a risk with the sandbanks.
