Maybe we should create an intimidating atmosphere by politely clapping and singing Grimsby Grimsby Ra Ra Ra ?

It did amuse me last night when the Halifax crowd started chanting 'Your support is fvcking sh1t'..... Seriously? We had 456 away fans in a crowd of 1876! Lets see how many they bring to BP!

A lot of this is just good humoured banter,

You do get the odd idiot that takes it too far,

BUT

I like Yorkshire , I might go live there when they get independence.

I went with my mate from work last night. He's a Halifax fan so I was in their end (he's was in our end last year with a very smug grin on) I've got to say it was a little   it awkward when he asked me what "your fans are signing about Peter Sutcliffe?"

They brought 400 odd to Blundell Park on a Tuesday night last season didn't they? We average 3 times more than them at home so it was a bit excrement. Recent results are to blame I guess.

Quoted from BraStrap
Why do we still keep chanting all this anti-Yorkshire stuff? It's so dated and belongs in the 1970s.

Yorkshire folk are much friendlier and open than Grimsby people who are much more insular and narrow-minded. Yorkshire is a much more inclusive place than Grimsby, is it any wonder we get so few away fans when we make everyone so unwelcome?


Who's this Paul Hurst or Malcolm Wright Pratt?

I think the 4-0 last time may have put a few people off

Went to university in Huddersfield, lived there for 4 years, moved to Leeds and have been living there for 6 years now.

I don't support any other football club other than Grimsby, but I enjoy living and working in Yorkshire. I can get back to Grimsby in a little over an hour. I'm extremely fond of Grimsby, I'm proud of my heritage and my family's heritage. I never slag it off and I never make out I'm from anywhere else.

I'll always love Grimsby, but I've also learnt to love Yorkshire. And while I might join in some anti-Yorkshire songs at Town matches (never any Sutcliffe related ones though) I'm fully aware that this is done, rightly or wrongly, out of habit. It keeps old traditions and rivalries alive (which, if we're being honest, have long gone).

No one seemed to mind that so many of our players down the years - Lever, Donovan, Bolland, Hegarty (hehe) and current manager Hurst - are from Yorkshire.
