Could go horribly right lucky sods. Still if they'd come to us that 'shut up' Marley geezer would no doubt have turned them down under instruction from you know who

When I think  of Barnsley I always remember going to Oakwell in League Division Four in the 1978/79 season and losing 2-1 in front of a crowd of over 21,000.

We still got promoted though as Runners-Up on Goal difference...........happy days.

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I don't like to mention the fans forum again but Mr Marley gave the impression that although they had looked for a buyer non was forthcoming so they had stopped but, if you have your house for sale surely you leave it on the market as in theory a buyer will always come along eventually, unless of course you have a stupid value.

We are deluded to think we are a club at the same level as Barnsley.

Whatever we like to think, we aren't a club that is going to be high on anyone's list unless they are local and already have a passion for the club.

You are very probably right but always an outside chance the kid of a Billionaire wanting a football team for a  Xmas Pressie somewhere sticks a pin into a sheet of A4 with the 72 football league clubs on and hits Grimsby.

That's one of my most vivid moments watching Town. Still remember Bobby Cumming getting to his feet and winking at us as Hunter was sent off.

My best memory of Oakwell was the Mike Brolly free kick the next season ( Easter Saturday )
