in MJ  i believe we have a good chance to be successful (yes, it still has  to be proven). Its been a long time coming that we have a manager  that has adhered himself to the masses and filled us with hope  and belief that our club will get back to where it belongs. He is building us a team that will play football ,im sure they will capable of  achieving good and ugly wins/results. Good Luck to MJ  and his/our team from now on. Im not sorry if ive bored anyone with this  ,i needed to say it.

ps, personally i would have preferred NcMenemys to have been called  Buckleys ,after a manager that gave us far more than we expected. 1998 is etched in all our memories , thank you Alan Buckley.

Looking at the photos on Twitter I can't say I have ever seen the two fans at home or away games?

Are they regulars?

Had a read of an old Cod Almighty article from two years ago, where a number of exiled and regular fans talked about what Grimsby means to them.

Is it a trip to Mad Harry's or Norris the Rubberman?  Walking along the sea wall to Fuller Street Bridge, seeing the Dock Tower come into view from the A16 or the sunrise over the Pier?

I feel like MJ has a sense of this nostalgia and feeling people have for the club that goes beyond just wanting to watch football.  About its place in people's lives and its ability to bring a town together.  I see the same sort of thing in John Welsh, a guy from a port on the other side of the country who knows about community and identity, who's been at a traditional Northern club and plays with his heart on his sleeve and his boots.

I'm really looking forward to Saturday, not just because of the football, but because, as someone who lives away and only comes back a few times a year, it's a chance to reconnect; with family, with the town, with childhood.  It should be a real occasion and should bring out all the infrequent fans, the curious, the people who identify with the club but who aren't there every week out of habit.  If MJ can turn the two-or-three-games-a-season into four-or-five-games fans, the haven't-been-since-school fans into three-game-a-season fans, and the only-ever-watch-Premiership-and-Champions-League fans into "I want Town to do well and will pop along to the odd game" fans, then he'll make a bigger long-term impact than he can imagine.
