Just checking on my fishy friends, how are we all coping ?
Those in self isolating, are you getting the help you need?

My user name on the fishy is The Yard Dog (Les knows the story behind this) my real is Mark Burgess, aged 52, married with 3 children. I am carer for my wife. I have been a life long GTFC supporter and played local cricket for about 35 years, stopped playing a few years ago.  
I grew up living near a few town players, Clive Wiggington took me to meet the players in the dressing room (about 1978 ) before a game, got the bug from then. Now I voluntary look after the press room on match days turning it in to my man den with GTFC pictures, photographs etc, this gives an outlet from the pressure of being a carer and house husband.

Looking at ways we can help each other, through these difficult times, adopt a fishy friend or fishy buddy.
I know some do not see eye to eye, thats whats makes 'thefishy', we need to help, support each and do what we can to get through this.

I am on Facebook (picture of me and best friend and our lads in front of Wembley), do not usually post much on their, however it has messenger and video calling.  If anyone needs a different outlet to talk, request to be friends and a fishy bubby.

Just an idea.

Yeah, eventually. As it's just round the corner from work I thought I'd nip in early to try and get the few bits I couldn't get at Morrisons on Wednesday only to find it's not 24hr anymore and doesn't open until 8am now. Anyway got in when they did open the doors and did manage to get the few bit I never got on Wednesday.

Got parked no problem when I arrived but when I left the car park was full with cars waiting for people to leave to get parked.

I know you by your Fishy user names, but not what you look like, I must have cross paths with many of you over the years following Town.

I think I've met you Mark, did you sell me a Thule tailgate bike rack a couple of years ago ?
