Nice intro!  



I didn't see much really. I was only 7 and was with my 14-year old sister who wanted to stand at the back of The Pontoon!

I can't remember the exact game but it was in about 1956. My Dad worked with the winger Jimmy Fell at Laportes and we went to see him play.

1st game = 15th August 2009 vs Crewe. Lost 4/5-0 I think. Wasn't long after I moved to the town.
Last game = 30th September 2017 vs Lincoln. 0-0.

Seen plenty of wins in between that period.

It makes you wonder how much money in total some of us have forked out watching Town over the years !


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

First ever game my old man took me to was the 6-5 against Burnley... it's been a tall order to live up to ever since!

3rd May 1980. 4-0 against Sheff Utd to be crowned Champions of Division 3.

What a day, so exciting for an 11 year old, no wonder I have been hooked as a Mariner ever since.

Bobby Cumming Testimonial, not sure what year it was, but we played Lawrie McMenemys Southampton, I'm guessing around 1984/85 as that would be 10 years playing with Grimsby Town.
