Quoted from northbankmariner
like so many people on here, i used to be a regular home and away following town all over the country. I now live just outside hull and work weekends so i am unable to get to hardly any games at all, IT DOES NOT MAKE ME ANY LESS OF A FAN JUST BECAUSE I CANNOT ATTEND REGULARLY, i was there for the hull game the other night and was impressed with what i saw of town to be honest , had not seen them at all the previous season. If i didnt work weekends and lived just round the corner from the ground i would never miss trust me, but money/work dictates for many of us.  We are all town fans but some of us can only show it on here for the majority of the time.  UP THE MARINERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Agree totally with this

I haven't lived in GY for over 30 years now

When I first moved away (to MK) I would be back every weekend then over time other things gradually took over but I ALWAYS used to be an avid teletext viewer etc and have the Sports Telegraphs sent to me to see what was going on

Then when kids came along and money had to go their way, my attendances dropped off even more alarmingly but I never ever once gave up on us

I remember driving 20 / 30 miles from where I lived in Northants just to listen to odd bits of commentary on the car radio but thankfully when the internet got going big time, the old Fishy, Mariners World and other sites provided the lifeline

I moved back up to the Humber region 7 years ago but still have to travel 50 miles to BP so I can get over a lot more often now but my heart always belonged to this club...like the old song goes, First Love Never Ever Dies

I have been to hundreds and hundreds of town games, far too many to count,

Alas since moving to Suffolk 25 years ago I can not get to many home games, maybe 2 or 3 a season,

Only good thing about living so far from Blundell Park is there are a lot of non league sides in travelling distance from here,

So I manage to see Terry and his gang on 3 or 4 occassions.


That's a GOOD thing?

That's unfortunate... Perhaps try moving a bit further away to combat the situation...

Whoa there fella-be careful what you are saying. The vast majority of people who travel on the battle bus are not xenophobic in any way shape or form. You may have an issue with Terry but don't extend it to a group of people you know nothing about.  An apology might be in order?

As The Fishy has over 4,500 members I'd like to think at least 350 actually go to BP occasionally.
