I think Saturday was a wake-up call for him. He has had three months of unadulterated hero worship and he now has glimpsed the dark side of the job. None of our recent managers has really figured out how to get the best out of Blundell Park, it's been years since we had a really decent home record.

So glad I chose the Upper Youngs for my first ever ST. I had flirted with the romantic notion of sitting in the famous old Main stand but eyesight issues forced a more pragmatic approach.
I am used to embarrassing behaviour from our fans on trains, in pubs and away grounds but we are generally kept under close watch. There seems to be a growing issue here for closer stewarding allied to a joint campaign with the club, Trust and SLO to remind fans of their responsibilities in areas where there are families, fans with disabilities and players relatives.
There are no police around ( let's not start on that today) and no clear club or EFL policy on signage, in the programme or anywhere.
Let's take legal advice, confer with EFL and fan groups and draft a policy.
If I stand up too long or sit in the wrong seat I can expect a swift reaction in most grounds. Why do we allow the stain of foulmouthed personal abuse to continue?

It's nothing compared to some places. You shouldn't be a manager if you cannot accept hostility. Look at the crowds reaction at any ground in the country when they concede a goal. It is not nice and cannot be condoned but peoples anger gets the better of them and they vent it on players, managers or whoever is in their way. I would prefer it 1950's style of "bad luck Jolley old man lets show them next time..." but it is not going to happen in this day and age.

Christ on a bike - 5800 Town fans shell out 20 quid each to watch a shower of shite and they're supposed to inanely clap & sing Ra Ra Up the Town whilst we get torn a new one by a team we beat 3-0 about 3 months ago?

You know I was referencing the more extreme examples or do you think there are no limits?

FGR seemed to have gelled OK.


Cooper's been building this team for over two years. He was installed before the Wembley game (just taking a back seat while the other bloke failed).


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.
