Stockwood and Artell BBC interviews

Quoted from toontown

Hurst gave an interview when he was actually Scunny manager, were he went out of his way to praise the Grimsby fans, esp the away support - cant get less standard repertoire than that. Nothing in it for him at all, in all probability got his own clubs fans backs up. His appreciation of our away following in particular was clearly genuine.

I also remember Doig giving an interview shortly after joining the shrews first time around. The club interviewer said something along the lines of "one thing different for you now is the size of the away support your getting with our fans in league1", said really smugly obviously assuming Doig would lap it up and blow smoke up their bottom. Doig just cut him dead and said "no Grimsbys a big club and got a big away following, so that's no different at all".
I dare say we would have been taking more than them in the conference tbh. You could just tell the interviewer had that grin wiped off his face and he swiftly moved on. But fair play, most assistants would have just followed the party line in that situation and agreed how great the shrewsbury fans were.
