The only time I've seen people say something bad about Grimsby fans is online, some seem to peg us as a kind of hooligan element which I don't get really. Every club has it's idiots but most of our fans seem pretty laid back and friendly even at away days. I've seen comments in the past that act like we destroy everywhere we visit and attack random people.
you get the odd incidents like the whole Burton tantrum and smashing some windows in Sheffield etc....Oh and when Sheffield came here for a friendly some of their lot were keen on a fight and 5-6 Grimsby fans gave it the big un at some of their fans walking to the ground until a group sent them running away over the train tracks. Most of that day was Sheffield fans who came down looking for trouble.
The closest thing we seem to have to real hooligans are kids who think they're hard but get shown up by one old guy at Gateshead and a bunch of our old fans who were probably hooligans in the 60's and 70's who occasionally talk things up wanting to relive their glory days of things getting a bit tasty with the Millwall being around.
Brilliant stuff Kris you seem to have a good handle on things have you thought about becoming a football intelligence officer?

| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

After a town match at end of last season went in the local pub and sat with a couple of guys who were watching Brighton v Fulham and both were Fulham fans and when I said I was a town season ticket holder the response was "we hate Grimsby".
Funnily enough another Fulham fan, bar owner in Majorca, on seeing my kids in their town shirts gave exactly the same response. When I asked them why this it was mainly due to them believing they never beat us, with the play off defeat the final nail in the coffin.
Not checked our result history v Fulham but seems another West London club has problems with us!!!!

Living in Liverpool and had a few people tell me they don't like us as the first Liverpool game they went to was the League Cup game against us with Jevons scoring that goal to knock them out
Also spoken to a few guys at Liverpool games who remember watching us come to Anfield in the 50s/60s who weren't bothered either way about us

Fans are just people in society like you and me most good with a few knob heads thrown in every team as them obviously there is your local rivalry. I thought Gateshead seemed the most hostile though I don't know why TBH.

Don't think I've come across any fans of other clubs who specifically hate GTFC.

| Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same. |

I used to run pubs in Newcastle and they hate us for a couple of reasons ,one being the 0-1 victory that stopped them breaking some record(SUPER JIM DOBBIN) and then there was the Justin Whittle elbow on Mary Poppins which I must say is my favourite and I used to love pointing out the scar on the twits lip if he was on telly in the pub, now I live in Newark and gotta say apart from the odd gimp that's appeared out of the woodwork in the last couple of months everyone else wants to reminisce about there visits to BP and talk about how we were a bloody good team not so long ago.UTM
