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?


We don't mean it literally.

I think it might be termed banter.

Next you will be offended by people who use semi naked women as their avatar.

They brought 400 odd to Blundell Park on a Tuesday night last season didn't they?


To a biggish end of season game.

It's another reason Lincoln could use though?  



Yes there is that as well as the "it's snowed a bit" excuse.

I remember being disgusted by the Peter Sutcliffe thing back in the early '80's. It was pathetic and embarrassing back then and now it's also ridiculously outdated. As for "We hate Yorkies," I'm a Town fan who moved to Grimsby at age 11 after being born and  raised in Bradford and Halifax so I always thought it was particularly stupid. Can't we just save the irrational dislike for Lincoln and Scunthorpe? Oh, and the Scots, I'm o.k. with that!

Well you should have said.

The fans could have sung "we hate Yorkies, excepting for Tony Smith who although born in Yorkshire is a Town fan"

Look here's a little secret seeing as you are nearly one of us now, The Peter Sutcliffe isn't really our friend and we don't really hate anyone  
Now calm down and stop getting your knickers in a twist.

Quoted from RichMariner
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.


Don't forget Boshell and Colbeck.....

Yeah, that would have been o.k.

Still makes me chuckle after all these years that a yorksh1te paper (Sheffield? ) had a headline asking why grimsby fans stood up when singing they hated their kids
