Not going to the 2nd leg of the Burnley semi-final as I didn't feel very well on the day.

Either that or having to watch that shower of excrement performance at Burton that afternoon. I know we'd still have gone down had we won but most of the players that day didn't give a excrement.

I think the 2004-2005 I bought my girlfriend at the time a season ticket... What a nightmare that was.

Going to watch Tues away match at Charlton,only to arrive at ground to find it was Weds night match,still had a nice night/day in London,to make matters worse we lost 4-1 I think ,car broke down on way home.Spent 2 hours on hard shoulder of A1 waiting for A.A.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Encouraging my Exile children to follow Town and start going to games just as wheels were coming off at the end of Lawrences management. So much dross they have suffered and so little success.

Probably getting a kicking at Burnley in the semi final.
Was living in Burnley at the time and got into home end with a couple of lads from my local at the time.
Anyway word got out I was town and after second goal went in got a pasting for my troubles and spent 3 nights in the hospital.

Lesson learnt don’t go into inbreeds home end and celebrate without thinking

Explains a lot Keith   LOL
Stay safe mate


<'(((((<

When I was a little boy
I asked my daddy what would i be
would I be United, would i be Leeds
Here's what he said to me

Oh Grimsby Grimsby
Whatever will be will be
You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby


Tell me Mam me Mam
I dont want no tea no tea
I'm watching the Grimsby
Tell me Mam me mam

What was you supposed to have done!

Let's put it this way a similar think happened to a Hull fan....

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

My biggest regret was going to Braintree when we lost  5-0

Never felt so low following town before and gleefully since.

Missing the game at Wembley when we beat Northampton Town 24/05/1998, I got married on the 23rd May (day before) and was on honeymoon in Ambleside, I did get to watch the game though in a pub full of friendly Northampton fans, the atmosphere at Wembley sounded fantastic that day, I really regret missing that game.


Grimsby and proud!

I was dating a lass who was a 7th day Adventist.  I took her back to Gy for  the weekend.  They have their sabbath on a Saturday, so my idea was to drop her off and go to the game.  She didn't wanna be alone, so I went with her.  I think we won 6-3. I can't remember who it was against. Gutted but lesson learnt.
