Here's his message after getting home from hospital. Puts all my problems into perspective quite frankly.

http://www.thefishy.co.uk/story.php?id=8501382

Get well soon mate and I'm sure you'll walk again. In fact you'll run again.

Don't know how to put it but thats a nice article to read. I am glad he is ok and wish him all the best. Couldn't omagine going through that. Get him in as Town manager i say, a real fighter. Well done to his dad absolutely awesome stuff just shows how much we all need our family.

Wrawbey's black and white army
G T F C !

Yeah, get well soon Wrawby.

That is horrific in its detail. Had no clue as to it being that bad. I wish him all the very best in his recovery, he certainly has the spirit to get himself through. That shambolic team of ours should be alerted to this story and shame them into earning their wages.

Indeed, no one deserves to be stuck in Scunny or HRI.  8)

Seriously, best of luck to the lad.

good luck.

Stick with it fella!

All the best.

Good luck Wrawbs

Good on him, best of luck Wrawbs.

Chin Up matey, best of luck fella ;) 8)
UTMM

thank you all i do appreciate it

hope you have a speedy recovery Wrawbs mate......UTM

Remember that beer and curry as soon as your fit Wrawby,  you'll be running then buddy!!
Seriously, get well soon, you are showing tremendous courage
I have some more jokes for you, I will text them over

Stick with it Wrawbs - you have guts unlike our flipping team! I agree Wrawbs for manager!! ;)

Wish you all the best for a full and speedy recovery mate.

Don't think I need to wish you good luck, Marc. Having read your article, it's obvious that you, with your dad's support, are now making your own luck! Keep your chin up! You'll get there!

It's a shame the team hasn't got your determination!

You did all that by slipping on the ice? Talk about bad luck! But all the best of it for your recovery lad.

"BASICALLY, to cut a massively long story short for the first time in my life I am not afraid to admit that I suffer from depression, "


Your a Town fan, of course you f@cking do !!  ;)

Sounds like the scene from Terminator dragging yourself relentlessly along, bet you will never slag the trains for being late again.

In all seriousness wish you well with your recovery, just focus on the day you will be walking back through the gates of Blundell Park for inspiration........mind you on second thoughts that may not actually help.....walking back through the doors of Playgirls for inspiration.. :)

Jeez...I knew you'd had an "accident" but reading your account brought a lump to my throat!

Good on you and your dad....don't stop believing and you're on the road to making it

Depressed or not, if only our players had your guts and positive outlook they'd be giving you one less cause to feel down

Hope you get well soon!

I would apply for the managers job but I don't think my wheelchair would get in the dressing room door. I'm hoping to be at the next home game, with a quick stop off at the imp

Mate, you've admitted you suffer from depression.  Does your Doc know you are going to watch Town  ;)

Lets hope the players show half the guts that you have.

Quoted from Civvy at last

No injury would prevent me from seeing town, depression or no depression enduring 90 minutes of we everyone has been seeing would a testament to how far I have come

Goes without saying mate my best wishes are with you for a speedy recovery - Keep in touch - UTM !

Agree completely.
Hurry up back Wrawbs.

SO  will you be entering dancing on ice next year

By the time I got to paragraph 4 tears were begining to well in my eyes, I think it was the dad involvement, I can relate to your dad's thoughts as I have kids your age. The battle you two are experiencing at the moment is far more important than any other battle we may be worrying about at the moment. Good luck Wrawbs keep us informed.

Drove over the tunnel twice yesterday and found myself thinking of you both times Wrawbs, it's a hell of a hole to drop into. Be good,keep your hands off the nurses when you have to go back for check ups and don't be long before you try for BP.

Next home game has to be my aim. Also last game of the season, anything more is just a bonus

Good to see you back Wrawbs. I hope you had a bloody good scrub when you got back to get rid of all traces of anything Hully Gully.  ;D

I almost started talking Hully Gully when I was incarserated there too mate.

All best wishes for a speedy and total recovery Wrawbs. Your injuries sound horrific but with the spirit you've obviously got you'll be totally recovered quicker than you think. Let us know how you're getting on.

It was just in the morning when they were saying turrrrrrst. . .thats toast for us deucated people

The trick is to already expect the worst, then anything else is just a bonus - that was I won't have to deal with disappointment. thats another one of my dads pearls of wisdom

Quoted from Wrawby_Mariner

First morning I was in there I had to ask her to repeat it 3 times before I understood what she meant.  ;D

Good luck Wrawbs!

The first game you are fit enough to attend - the seats on me !

Quoted from ponnyfan

The first game you are fit enough to attend - the seats on me !

Blimey... Are you gonna pass up on the offer of sitting on Ponnyfan Wrawbs?!

I will be in a chair i believe, a wheel chair

how the hell would I get in through the turnstiles?

In a wheelchair you would be at the Osmond end of the Mainstand and you would enter the ground through the players and officials gate (which has no turnstile). Wheelchair users have a spot at the front. Not sure how much you can see from there.

I was really hoping they would bend the rules for me ;)

Quoted from Wrawby_Mariner

They wont, Mr.Rudrum has a certificate to say so.  They sit where it is convenient to evacuate them easily without being in a general crush should the ground ever need evacuating(God forbid). They wouldn't allow you in the Ponny or the lower Findus for that very reason.

what about that space between the ponny and mainstand?

You can't see from there the fence is covered in advertising boards and the fence is higher than where the wheelchairs are. Besides as I say Mr.Rudrum has a certificate to protect so even if you go there they won't let you stay to watch the game.

feck

lol!!!11

wheelchair users get put in the stand that is most likely to burn down!!!!!11

go and sort out rudrum Wrawbz....you can do an inside job for us all!!!1111 he'll never dare eject someone in a wheelchair!!111 lol

oh, and remember....dont let the accident stop you chasing the young girls...the rubber feet on your crutches are a good sybian replacement lol!!!1111

Quoted from Wrawby_Mariner

It's not a bad view at all down at the front of the main stand. You feel very close to the action (what action???) and despite what others say there's a good atmosphere in there. The only trouble is that the pitch seems to curve very slightly downhill going towards the Lower Findus. I've always sat towards the front; I tried the Upper Findus once as an experiment and hated it. You'll be fine there matey

Good luck to you wrawbs. Can I ask have the club sent you a good luck message?

Quoted from Green27

got sent a signed shirt

Quoted from Wrawby_Mariner

got sent a signed shirt

They sent me one too when I was in Hull plus a Get Well Soon card from Alan Buckley (just before he was sacked).

oh i never got one of those,my brothers friends stepdad and mum know him and they sorted it

Quoted from Wrawby_Mariner

oh i never got one of those,my brothers friends stepdad and mum know him and they sorted it

It was quite funny really cos when I was in there for the 6 week spell I had my own cubicle off the main ward and had the shirt pinned up on my board and practically everyone who saw it just assumed I was a Newcastle fan until I put them right.

Great stuff was really hoping they did something for you, would be very disappointed with them if they didn't. Good on the club.

Can i just say after reading that i really do feel for you! Being told some of that stuff must be awful to hear. You will be ok. Typical Grimsby fan, Always fighting and never gives up. I hope your ok wrawby.

Well actually got mail on facebook yesterday from Danny Norths mum, what a lovely lady,also Dale Ladson emailed me today on behalf of the club, very thoughtful of him.

Jeez,

I thought you'd just got something simple like a broken leg...

Its not so bad in the main stand, Just dont be too noisy and wake us old gits  :).

Seriously, before the game  and at half time get in the family lounge for a Bovril or something stronger...at half time you get to see the goals we've conceded on the tele....

Heres hoping you will back in your favourite stand before too long.

Hang in there and all the best..

I dont really have a faveourite stand, i just go in the stand with the regular i am attending with that week

Really terrible reading what you've been through. All the best for your recovery.

All the best Wrawbs, your situation may even help with your depression, Now you have a new battle ahead it will take a back seat

Glad to hear you are on the mend fella and ignore those scunt illegitimates down the road, especially pansy64.

Oh Im not worried about them, they're nothing compared to what i will overcome

Good on yer.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

get well soon mate

Wrawbs, never met you mate - but you sound like an inspiration to all.  

How you fixed for doing a team talk at 2.50 pm on Saturday?  

Keep your chin up and get well soon.

I would quite happily do it if the wheelchair fits through the dressing room door ;)

This week is hospital week

3 hospitals in 4 days.

Physiotherapy
Dietry
Skin Graft
and the metal cage on my leg all have to be checked


Also I have to have a medical to see if I am fit to go to the game on saturday. . . . .I will be passed fit so hopefully on crutches

Sounds promising, without wishing to place a dampner on your plans have you contacted the club to see what, if any, restrictions they may have on crutches in the ground? Wouldnt want you turning up just to be turned away.

yeah, the usual wheelchair lot had their own little congregation, felt a little left out in all honesty.

Forgot to look for you. Did you enjoy the game?

I expect you would have been long gone by the time I managed to get Icenian senior down from the stand.

I left at half time if truth be told, my back and legs were in agony and my body just couldnt hack it. But what I did see I enjoyed.

Great effort for turning up though Wrawbs, glad the team showed up as well. Keep popping those magic tabs fella  ;)

Wrawbs the newbie, bit of a clique going on was there? Just pimp your ride Wrawbs and they will soon roll over for a chat, spinners and a neon light on the under carriage should do the trick. You going to the northampton game?

Just thought I would keep you all updated. I stood up for the first time in 3 months today
