At least 6 Fishy members and a junior member in waiting.

My mate who lives in York is coming over too with his 7 year old son. (He's a member on here but doesn't post very often)

There must be fishy members from all over that travel.... don't think York is an exception!

Don't think anyone is saying it is an exception are they? It's just an interesting quirk that Town (and the fishy) are well represented in York and North Yorkshire.

As I said, enough increasing numbers in the York area to build the new stadium there. ;)

Teesknees:  I do not understand your negative comment (and exclamation mark) about a matter of fact.  Why the hostility?  Is there something we should know?

I mentioned at the start of last season, an exiled mariner car badge. Maybe give one free with orders of town shirts posted outside the catchment area??

At what point to you count as an exile? If you're from Skeg, Louth, Horncastle, Brigg etc and support Town are you an exile? Because, as Gary Elton says, a good proportion of our home support every week must travel 10 miles plus just for a home game. There can't be too many clubs at our level like that. Lincolnshire in general must be an exception on that front because it must be the same for Lincoln, Scunny and Boston. As an Ingoldmells native, I fall into that category from Town and Boston.

Think Teesknees must have given up on York when he saw the queue at Betty's.

I reckon you count as an exile if there's another significant team closer to where you live than Grimsby Town. So, Louth and Skegness  wouldn't count as exiles, but if you live in Beverley (for example), you would count as an exile because you fall into the Mudrats catchment (even though it probably takes less time to get from Beverley to BP than Skegness to BP).
