Tomorrow once more We’ll pour through those gates Where destiny; Redemption or failure awaits
To our Blundell Park The weary old girl Our spiritual home In this bonkers old world
Where I’ve had wonderful highs And gut-wrenching lows Where I’ve laughed at the shortness Of Jude Stirling’s ‘long throws’
The ghosts of the past They hang in the air Of legends moved on The basis for cheer
Buckley, Mendonca McMenemy, Groves Of beautiful football That brought in the droves
To Birtles and Bestall Hall, Betmead and Buck It wasn’t just talent They gave a fuck
A Pouton stepover A back heel from Rees One-eighty from Glover Those headers from Tees
It’s now twenty matches Over one hundred days Tomorrow we win, though And emerge from the haze
Take heed, boys Take wisdom Take great inspiration From those halcyon days
For Futch and for Kev Moore For Marc North and Big Keith For all gone to soon, and with bit between teeth Give it your all, boys – we’ll not slip beneath
And so, all for one And one for all We owe those Spireites For that fucking four-all
Come on you Mariners!

Nice poem Poojah but football is still a business and its the fans who get ultimately taken for a ride.If the fans didnt fund the flame the sport would die and all those premiership players earning millions would look for other jobs.
Its why Ive gone off football somewhat when I now see it for what it is and having spoken to ex players in the game and read about things.All concur money rules at the end of the day and its not loyalty to the fans
Its why I prefer athletics and others sports eg boxing now.Truer sports that have been around since we evolved as humans.
Having said said that still prefer lower league football eg our level where its more real and below in comparison to the premiership as its fans that largely dictate the success of their club based on their loyalty.

I imagine the first thing that the early Homo sapiens did after climbing down from the trees was set out a 400m track and put a boxing ring together.

No but they were running away from predators and probably fighting each other for resources. Its called survival.Something that happens to this day. If you have read national geographic recently people still die in the desert today in Africa traversing the desert to look for pastures new where they can survive and earn more money and ultimately food ? This is reality mariner.Your lucky me and you dont have to face these harsh conditions that many still experience today.Eg no social warfare,nothing.You dont make the effort your dead. Put yourself in their shoes and you would have a different mindset.In this country we have to it easy.

Sport: "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." Then if it's for survival, it isn't a sport. So why are they "truer sports"? Also, if you don't think money runs boxing just as much as it does football then you're naive in the extreme.

Boxing has existed far longer than football.I think you need to see the wider picture
