The game was without tension, without much away support, without a rivalry with the opposition and was a routinely comfortable win that petered out in the second half. I was just waiting for the final whistle so I could go home and warm up.

Hardly stirring stuff.

Quoted from Poojah


This was an English 5th tier game between mid-table Grimsby and struggling Aldershot, in cold, wet and windy conditions, attended by a respectable 5,177 sounds. What exactly where you expecting?

A stirring pre-match rendition of Nessun Dorma, performed by a reanimated Luciano Pavarotti? Players arriving on the pitch in the style of a heavyweight world title fight ring walk, accompanied by an entourage of attractive young ladies with great big títs? A sea of pyrotechnics lighting up the sky like an atomic bomb?

Perhaps the Pontoon should have been positively alight with colourful flares and smoke? Burning effigies of John Fenty, hanging from the Findus Stand roof? The Main Stand literally swaying with thousands of geriatric fans doing the poznan for 90 minutes? BP a bubbling cauldron of noise that La Bombonera could only ever dream of?

A few coins and lukewarm bottles of píss thrown at the 100 or so Aldershot fans, with a gaggle of freshly post-pubescent youths in crisp, new CP Company jackets gesturing aggressively? “You’re going home in a Grimsby ambulance” (although I’ve always wondered why an ambulance would take you straight back to your house).

Maybe Janet Jackson getting her baps out in the midst of a half-time extravaganza wardrobe malfunction, as a breathtaking acrobatic aerial display from the Red Arrows takes place in the skies above? Cliff Richard performing an impromptu rendition of “We’re singing in the rain”?.

Personally, I’m impressed with how well attendances have held up in recent weeks, and there have been some decent home atmospheres this season, Wrexham the obvious pick of the bunch. If we’re in with a decent sniff of the play-offs, we’re playing reasonably well (and winning), we’ll soon see a return of 6k + crowds and decent atmospheres to boot.

No I clearly wasn’t expecting anything like, great post tho loving the imagination and humour,  it was quite a good read 👍

I think most rational fans have realised that we have a a weak squad rely heavily on three or four players and consequently aren’t going up this year and Stickwood and Petit aren’t Gandi and Jeff Bezos after all and our life is not all that different from what it was before thereby tempering some enthusiasm.

If you get advance notice of Janet doing that can you let me know please?🙂

Floodlights shining bright above you
Main Standers seem to whisper “we love you”
Town singing all over Grimsby
Dream a little Maaac Atee


[I’ll get me coat 😆]


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.
