Quoted from friskneymariner
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day till the end of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered,
We few,we happy few,
We band of brothers.


"I don't want to get any messages saying, 'I am holding my position.' We are not holding a goddamned thing. Let the Germans do that. We are advancing constantly and we are not interested in holding onto anything, except the enemy's balls. We are going to twist his balls and kick the living excrement out of him all of the time. Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy."

Not exactly Shakespeare but I thought a bit of General Patton was a suitable call to arms for my fellow Mariners. Let’s have a good un.

It's the hope that kills you. My 6 year old said to
me, as he fell asleep last night: ' I'm pretty sure we're going to get promoted this season Daddy'. I hope that dream stll feel realistic this time tomorrow.

It would be boring if we won every game.much better not to know if we will win lose or draw.                                                 We are town and we will support the team whatever happens . Utm

It would be nice if just once we could put that theory to the test

And that is why I prefer lower league football.More real and how football use to be when it use to rely on fans gate receipts as opposed to billionaire chairmen who pump in money from abroad giving clubs a unfair advantage.

My 4 year old is only interested in wearing her pink town shirt and whether there will be donkeys at the “new seaside” today 😂

I love the first day of the football season, even at my age I get excited by the prospect of success
Also by 17:00 tonight we’ll have a much clearer view of how the next 8 months of our lives are likely to pan out
Remember saying that to my son as we strolled to Cheltenham to see newells aces in2008!!
