It might be meant to be light hearted to some people but I don't see much difference between singing about the Yorkshire Ripper and chanting about gas chambers to Spurs fans.

We welcome fans to Grimsby by songs celebrating people who have been killed in their towns, chucking bricks through their coach windows and telling them we despoil their fish.

Right name as you sound a right mammary!

No offence just banter and lets be honest town fans are no better or worse than any others with Munich songs, jews paedaphile etc does not make it right. In the seventies we in the Ponny sang Harry Roberts is our king he kills coppers. Pathetic when you look back but the tribalism that comes with being a football fan is part of the excitement for many and what helps make match days.

Sounds like you should have attended matches in the post war years with rattles and rosettes which I am sure were great times to attend any sporting event, but as England fans sing " two world wars & one world cup".

Do you want a tissue? Do you want everyone who attends football match to sit there in silence and not make a sound or movement? We should put all of our rivalry's aside and hug our rivals instead and just take away the competitive element of football.

They are wasted on the likes of Halifax anyway.

In the good old days of anti-Yorkie chants we were actually playing sides like Barnsley, Sheff Utd/Wed, Rotherham, Hull, even Leeds .......... there were huge crowds at their grounds, big followings from here and big crowds at BP.

I would just point out that all those sides are in the Football League while we are pushing up daisies in the Conference. We are not too likely to meet a decent Yorkshire side in the foreseeable future so we might as well junk the chants.

And I too am a Yorkie from Leeds who was transplanted to Grimsby by my parents in the 1950s. Broke my heart until I discovered Blundell Park.

Top trolling fella,

Your getting quite a few good bites.

Nice routine and worked quite well.

Good to see a bit of originality back to the board as opposed to the same old
Rose Tinted Brigade Versus Fenty Haters bollox.

Just out of interest though. Do you think Danny North could be the solution to out striker problem at the moment ???


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Are you one of them there trolls?

If you are you are you are very good at it - you are increasing my blood pressure every time I read one of your "arty farty,  namby pamby, politically correct, haughty toity"  diatribes.

Thanks to Inspector Grimm of the thin Blue Line for the above. A man after my own heart.

My final say is just to point out the only difference between what we do and what others do is people notice - this is from a right wing paper as well.
