The chap in the Town shirt was Graham Precious ex Mariners Trust board member and a top bloke..


The technicians were there during the game and further adjustments were being made after the match. As in all things like this some fine tuning is required to get everything set up correctly.

Why was Graham Precious being adjusted ?? 😉 😂😂


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I think there was a small financial windfall as well. I read that there is 5k awarded for a first round win and we get half the crowd receipts which wont be too bad if 2500 were paying full price

Went last week for game v Inter Milan and it is pretty unbelievable and viewing is absolutely fantastic. As an aside boarded train at Eltham Lock and was quickly joined by three guys one of whom was wearing a town shirt. Had great chat with them on train and outside the ground when I bumped into them again. The town shirt wearer was from Kirton Lindsey and has a passion for visiting as many football grounds as possible and pretty sure he told me he was approaching 160 different ones.

Would love to go back with Town in the two legged semi-final 😩😄😄😄


I was one of the three. Good to meet you. I met Graham at Brimsdown having gone to see Brentford the day before and went back with him. As Barralad said, Graham is a good bloke.

I was well impressed with the Spurs ground. Last time I saw them play at home was 1988. Fantastic view where we were. We bumped into quite a few folk from the Grimsby area on the day.

I think Graham has seen Town at 160 grounds. Not sure how many grounds I've seen Town at but I'm in the 200s for all clubs visited. Graham has already asked me to sort him out for a ticket at Brentford's new ground next season! For once Grimsby and Bees' home games haven't clashed much so I'm getting some last home games in at Griffin Park whilst holding a season ticket for Town.

Fond memories of GP. Town will always be my team but I did visit GP a lot when I lived down there and have really good friends at  Brentford.

Salford will be my fourth new ground this year after Grantham, Scarborough and Spurs and I think Spurs just get the nod.

We spoke to quite a few Spurs fans and they were very friendly and weren't abashed to bring up our win against them in 2005. Great day out.
