When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Let's be honest - when we watch the Mariners at an away game, we travel more in hope than expectation.

I think the opposite is true at home.

We all know how poor Coventry were last season, and even though they won 3-0 last week I think most of us turned up on Saturday expecting a good performance at the very least, if not a win or draw.

But then my dad will say, in his day, the mentality was different. Fans still expected the team to perform strongly at home but it was more about making BP as intimidating as possible for everyone connected to the visiting side.

I feel that this side of football has been lost. BP might be an old, traditional ground, but new grounds popping up all over the country has no doubt made a difference.

They all look the same and they've lost a bit of their identity. I certainly wouldn't be intimidated as a fan (or hypothetically as a player) visiting the likes of Colchester, Morecambe or even Shrewsbury in the league above.

None of these clubs have fans known for pulling the ball into the goal.

I still think we can get BP rocking but it takes a set of specific circumstances to make that happen.

I know the players are meant to give us something to shout about, but I've always believed that it's the fans that need to get the team going first as that's how it traditionally used to work.
