That is a thing of absolute beauty. Almost better than the highlights themselves.
Naturally, the game itself had some brilliant moments but the cinematic quality of that video at times is superb. Some fantastic angles of all the goals, but in particular Town's two in the first half. Huge respect to all involved.
Shout out in particular to the lad who had to leg it from just in front of the PA box to the corner of the Lower Findus to capture some footage of the players celebrating Max Wright's goal, all the while filming the celebrating Pontoon. You could almost feel the breathlessness.
Magnificent carnage. May this go on for as long as possible - fùcking love it.
Just watched that and I think you’re right. 3 great goals. Maxy kept his cool well. I noticed on the highlights their defender reached out to touch his back, which must have been potentially distracting. Clever trick by the defender because I can see how some players might be thinking “do I keep going or fo I go down? I’m entitled to go down” which must cause doubt in the attacker’s head and potentially throw him off.

There’s so much to enjoy about Town these days that it’s hard to know where to begin.
Off the pitch we’ve replaced the antiquated ticketing system, which has definitely had a positive effect on attendances (although a winning team also helps). There’s the fan zone, improved catering, and that’s just the benefits we get - there’s also everything the players are getting, like improved training facilities, gym equipment, etc.
There’s so much more that I haven’t mentioned and we’ve only been under new ownership for four months!
Aside from the goals and victories, we’ve got decent highlights from the GTFC video crew plus Liam’s match day moments (which, for me, as someone who can’t make games at the moment, help me feel as though I’m there).
Everything that’s happening is bringing us closer together. The team looks tight, the fans can relate to them - again, little things like players giving their shirts to kids at the final whistle… all of it is contributing to this ‘Greater Together’ mantra.
It’s totally awesome and long may it continue. We haven’t achieved anything yet, some might say. But to me we’ve achieved the most important thing of all: valuing the fans.
We are respected again. And we’re showing up in numbers. Honestly, the positivity that’s flying around at the minute is seriously translating to the players. That much is evident. They all seem to be playing at the top of their game.

That Matchday Moments vid is the best Town content for years. Brilliant stuff.
Think the idea came from Exeter City’s YouTube channel, great idea for so many reasons

Another good touch I noticed last night. After years of bottlenecks trying to get for a half time whiz, there are now 3 portaloos outside the end of the corridor, which reduced the numbers blocking the area around the trust bar/bottom of the stairs to the upper. Little touches that are so simple but make a big difference.

Going back to the video, it was a clear foul for their goal. A tackle from behind, yes he might touch the ball, but he was always going to get the man as well. And I thought they were suppose to be clamping down on the tackle from behind.

The club first post them on the club's youtube channel so keep an eye on that in future. Some Wrexham fans not happy with the quality of their own clubs offering. http://www.redpassion.co.uk/forums/wrexham/118297-grimsby-highlights.html
Wow. I can see why. Picture quality is terrible. Like what channel 5 used to look like when it first came out on old tele's. No sound on it until the clip that shows Max's goal. And camera almost lets play slip out of view a couple of times. Thankfully, our highlights uploads and particularly the "Matchday Moments" are quality.

All 3 of our goals would have fit in at a higher lever ,Max was cool as a cucumber with his finish. That pass that set up their goal was also perfect . If we see football like this every week in this league then it’ll be a great ride

This thread, especially the vids which are absolutely brilliant, shows how the club has moved on from a person who thought he knew what he was doing to owners who know what they are doing. From amateur to professionals.
May the good times roll on and the last 16 years banished to the back pages of history books. The matchday moment vid shows what we now have as a club, belief by the players and a new passion from the fans, something I was brought up on decades ago.

Perhaps it’s also sure to the fact that whilst people are clearly happy in their work at the club, perhaps it’s also linked to the raising standards and recognition that the fans are indeed, actually important and therefore ‘it’ll do’ isn’t good enough…

I agree but the more I see the challenge for the corner for our second goal it looks like a double deflection and a goal kick so perhaps they evened out.
