Scunny and Huddersfield in the cup, and Wembley for me. That's it.

I hated non league with a passion.


Even those cup games made me embarrassed when I thought the national commentators were saying "non league Grimsby are giving it a go against...."

I hated speaking about football when outside of Grimsby it was so embarrassing. League football means everything to me.

The only really enjoyable day for me was the Wembley triumph and that was obviously because we got back.

agree totally - plus those times when you met up with old mates and they asked how town were getting on, and then the killer question 'what division are they in now?'  
then there were the really, really krap players we had to put up with. remember anthony straker who lacked even the basic ability to cross a ball, despite being played as a wide player? just embarrassing and soul destroying

2 minutes into the Bristol Rovers final was another time when I had that buzz!

Interesting read in the local paper

Chants of ‘you’re not fit to wear the shirt’ were aimed at the blue shirted losing side and the small number of players who did approach the away end were met with fury, only a small number of the faithful choosing to applaud. Whilst Chesterfield might not have deserved to lose this, their most important game, they didn’t do enough to win it – as has been the case in too many matches going back too long. The effort might not have been in question, but the application certainly was.


If you can’t beat a 10-man Vale who haven’t won in 2018, or score a goal against a Grimsby in apparent terminal decline, something is going wrong somewhere. The post-game debate was underway within a couple of minutes, Lester’s tactics and substitutions coming under fire, calls for the club legend’s departure creeping into the discussion for the first time. The warmest day of the year was a dark one for Chesterfield Football Club, its rookie manager and the huge travelling army. Its consequences won’t be known for a week or two but there could be even darker days ahead.

Sounds all too familiar for comfort.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

When you consider that their last three away games have been against Port Vale , us and Morcombe, and have yielded just a single point, it's not looking good for their remaining fixtures.

They did well to come from behind against Morcombe that was real guttsy but to be honest only our performances matter now.

Quoted from Ipswin


I will certainly give Jolley every credit imaginable if we stay up (but surely that is why he was employed.) In fact I'll be flipping amazed as well as delighted to eat humble pie.

But if we don't I won't excuse his failure to keep us up by blaming Slade, Fenty (hopefully) appointed him to avoid relegation A more experienced 'relegation-fighter' might have been a better choice and yes, in that respect I will say 'I told you so' because I have advocated a more experienced hand from the start



This has aged well.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

Is he going to welch on the deal like Johnnie? At least eating humble pie is not as unpleasant as ticking a hot dog where the Sun doesn't shine
