It's Status Quo and "Rockin' all over the world" that sticks in the memory for me.

YEP. I was 14 at the time and my late Grandad was dancing on his seat to that. One of my fondest memories not only following Town but of my Grandad.

Went to both games but I rank the play off final v Solihull as a bigger game in the club’s history.

A truly magical couple of games, the first being iconic because it was our first visit, the latter because of the significance. We’ve had bigger games in terms of prize but those two will forever be etched in the memory of town fans.

‘Rockin all over the world’
‘Simply the best’

Was a fans of the week on socceram before the Ballmouth game. What a weekend. It felt like everyone was there…

I was given a free ticket by the club for both games as at the time i was one of the Stewards that volunteered to help corral the queues  for tickets. They only told us afterwards that they would give us a ticket. A lovely gesture by the club. Mind you, we still had to make our own way down there lol.

All i remember of the first visit is at the end the Stadium played 'We are the Champions' at 12 million decibels.

See bellow


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Best weekend of my life.

LIved in South London at the time. Had a date on the Saturday and went to Broadstairs, Got back to London on the Saturday night and went to see Roy Ayers at Ronnie Scotts.  Standing room only, they said.  I had a problem with my foot.  Bouncer got me the best table in the house.  Met Ronnie and the band during the break.  Lass stayed over at mine (wink wink) as she was flying home the next day.  Bumped into the Saxophonist in the airport who recognized me and offered to buy me breakfast.  Told him I had a more important thing to get to.  Great game obviously and was thinking I'd love to celebrate a goal as Kingsley Black popped up on cue. On the way home popped into a pub full of Bournemouth fans.   They came and shook my hand and bought me a couple of beers.  Carried on home walking on air.   Cars were beeping me and the occupants were putting there thumbs up at me. Had to pop in the off licence for chmpagne as I promised the lads I shared with a bottle if we won. Doesn't get better than that.

I was working when the Bournemouth game was on but caught the 2nd half at the Tivoli tavern, the Northampton game I was on honeymoon in the Lakes but still managed to watch the full game in the pub in Ambleside,  it was packed with Northampton fans but it was all friendly banter that day.


Grimsby and proud!

Oh mate, that sucks! I would have left any job to go to the first one as I was young and stupid, but I’ll let you off with the excuse for missing the 2nd!
