Quoted from Limerick Mariner


Thinking of staying in Ulverston on the Thursday night. I worked on the Morcambe Bay gas pipeline after Uni and had to deal with the farmers around those parts - their typical form of attire was a cowsh!t covered coat tied up with bailer bind and they spoke a language barely recognisable as English.



Pretty standard I think for farmers.


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

Wrap up warm, every time I've been to Barrow, it's been bloody freezing, even once when the rest of the country was in a mini heatwave!!


Sounds like Grimsby then

Ulverston - Stan Laurel’s birthplace. That’s a belting claim to fame, in my eyes.

Planning to go on 29th. Seem to remember hearing the view is almost Kings Lynnn in its shitness from the terracing, is that the case? Are the seats better?
Also hoping to call in at the Penrith Tea Rooms for some Cake, can anyone recommend?


You’ll have better luck in the away end tomorrow night for advice on the Penrith Tea Rooms - but what I can tell you is that the Angel Lane Chippie in Penrith is pretty good.

Top knowledge. I did know that the MK branch of the Penrith Tea Rooms is the one frequented by millionaires, I just prefer the artifice that it’s actually Cumbria.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

First season in non-league. Dragged out of my garden anticipating 24c and sunshine and moaned all the way up as the temperature dropped and the sun disappeared.

I did get a bit of good humour back when we won 2 0 though.

The following season it chucked up down. I'd thankfully blagged my way under cover. They got a last minute equaliser.
