Got to love the Grimsby fans who support their local team.

Often growing up and even now in adulthood I get the occasional mickey taking out of me for supporting Grimsby .Hence the most recent one was when I was wearing a Grimsby Town polo shirt this week "Grimsby Town ,you must be having a laugh".Way I dealt with it was stated my family is from the area which soon shut him up.

In this age of  business ownership in the game  eg rich Arabs taking over Man City its nice when you get fans like ours and those from other clubs who keep it real and support their local club or those who support their club where is a family connection .Hence without smaller clubs like ours I dont think football would be what is .Hence without variety nothing continues.


One life,one love .

When I was in the Navy I was in a mess of 10 lads and they all supported big teams, they regularly took the mickey out of me for supporting Grimsby Town but they also respected me for sticking by my team through thick and thin, I could never support another team.


Grimsby and proud!

Living in Somerset I run a football team and they're a mixed bunch, most are prem supporters but there are a few Bristol City fans and the odd Exeter fan. It's actually funny because whenever we're talking about football in general the lads who support their local teams have more knowledge on football as a whole   I'm always wearing my town stuff and pretty much everyone in the town knows me now and knows my background

I was born and raised in Stoke-on-Trent and I'm a town through and through (Dads side of the family) so you can imagine the grief I get when I say I'm a Town fan.  


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

Nearly 40 years since I left Grimsby but I never left the Town behind  

My lad is also a Town fan despite never living in the area, being born in Huntingdon then living in Northants & Goole

But his forefathers have all been Mariners so as much as we might get a bit of stick for being GTFC fans, I find we also get quite a bit of kudos for respecting our roots
