Our own song, a genuine suggestion

Yesterday, all my troubles they were here to stay
Now it looks as though they're far away
Oh, we believe in Holloway
Suddenly, we are like the team we used to be
There's a bright sun rising at BP
Oh we believe in Holloway

We're on our way
With Holloway
How we get there I don't know
How we get there I don't care
All I know is Grimsbys on the way

Make it stop 😱

Get a grip.

Quoted from LH

Make it stop 😱

Thanks for the laugh LH. Got to say I agree. I always thought Grimberians were as tough as nails, but why do we always insist on the managerial love in. He hasnt even managed a game yet and the shops have run out of kleenex

Maybe because you can't help being a troll Dumblebore

I noticed in his interview with JT I think it was post match Ollie mentioned about the songs - I think he could hear songs being sung but didn’t know what they are - be nice if someone can update him on on the Town songs he will be hearing a lot of - maybe a message on twitter or something eh

You are quite disturbing you - I presume you are a grown bloke, but you invent imaginary edits to prove an imaginary, crazy, irrelevant, theory.  

Instead of replying with a stupid picture or video, why don't you admit you actually admit you made that up?  And more importantly, why you felt the compunction?  Genuinely interested.

Absolutely fantastic idea.  Tell 'Ollie' I personally love him with all my heart.

The only one around here making things up is yourself, proof is your form in pretending to be a Scunt when your obviously a Town fan on a fishing trip using rotten bait (with incorrect facts that others called you out on and you made a poor attempt to divert away from answering those who outed you)  

If you really are a Scunt, which I see no real evidence of, maybe you could explain whilst the Scunts are above us in the league their last home gate was lower than ours by over 1,000, why is that and how many did Plymouth bring.

Surely there are better Scunthorpe strikers in your short history than a player who couldn't cut it above division 4 to name yourself after, Dumblebore  

How about a version of Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello.

and how about: Olly Olly Olly
                          Oi Oi Oi

I find these threads a bit pointless, chants develop themselves on the terraces, or not. If you think one of these could work you had better be prepared to bellow it from the top of your lungs, preferably with a few mates in tow, and hope it picks up and spreads.

You are a liar mate, plain and simple.

I put that in one of the messages after we won.  In hindsight Holloway, works better when sung.

Ollie!

How do you know he’s a scrob? Got a Scandi friend in Scunthorpe?

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Just the image of a scruffy dim wit that looks like Benny off crossroads and I bet he stinks to high heaven. Just like the scrob I saw drunk up on the fish market one morning, no doubt he's a scrob.

The generally accepted use of the word "scrob", in Grimsby, was used to describe a Scandinavian ( usually Danish) fisherman. It was nothing to do with the way he was dressed or his state of sobriety.

Never heard of it.

Know the kids use 'scrub' but that a new youtuber term, as in ' you cheeky scrub' which I'm guessing means young scally

Quoted from Rik e B

It was a common expression when there was a large number of Danish fisherman working from Grimsby. I used to go to the Mariners Club a lot in the 1960's /70's and there was one corner where a lot of Danish fisherman used to sit, to drink and play cards, and it was known as "Scrobs Corner". In fact down Nelson Street there used to be some public toilets and they carried the signs Damer and Herrer which is Danish for Ladies and Gentlemen because of the large influx of Danish fishermen

Oh I never knew about the Danish contingent, thanks, always good to hear a bit of local history. Born in '81 so before my time.

Never new that Rancido, I know the general term Scrob originates as you described for Scandinavian fisherman, from what I was told aimed mainly the ones who were landing our fish quotas. On the fish market on the docks one morning in the mid 80's and old boy pointed at I think it was a Faroe Islands fisherman who was dressed like Benny from cross roads stunk of BO and booze. The term Scrob as far as I knew was always derogatory as Scrob was always followed by illegitimate. This was from the Murray Street side of the fish market, which was usually where the selling started.

My wife is the daughter of a Danish fisherman who fished out of Grimsby,

Scrob was the term used to describe them.

There was also a Scrob's Corner on the docks, an area where the Scandiavian vessels would moor.

I first heard the expression used in the early 60's, possibly 1963 when I went on my first "pleasure trip" and the quota system hadn't been introduced then. I don't think it was used in a derogatory way, much as we generalise saying somebody is a Geordie, Cockney or Yorkie.

Surprising how this has dropped out of awareness with the younger generation. Scandinavians in the GY area were quite prevalent (and I don’t mean the Vikings, though Grimsby obviously started with them - not Cleethorpes.....Clee is much older 😉).

I took it for granted at the time but when I think back to surnames of kids at school to say nothing of families like the Bojens (spelling?), I realise it was quite a significant number. I was surprised when I found out that Jesse Lingard didn’t come from NE Lincs.

PS having read one of the main theories on the derivation of the word ‘scrob’ I’d be uncomfortable using it for anyone but my mate 😃

Put it this way, the profanity checker on this site needs updating.

It must have been some of the old boys who spoke that way back then, they spoke in a derogatory way and I just took it, it was that way.
