FT...  Salford  2-0 Stevenage

Now edited....I forgot to add    :-/

How do you log on to commentary?

Would of liked to have seen Pollock in the starting 11.

How do i get commentary please?

Lets Have a great start, Town, come on, UTM!

Notts County losing at Eastleigh.....welcome to the National League   8)

All sounds a bit scrappy...not settling into kind of rhythm by the sounds of it...

The difference Hanson makes!! I mean we all said we needed a target man last season and it shows.

Hows that not gone in!

HT  0-0

Not there myself......was it a penalty for the push on Rose ?

The commentators seem to think so.

So how did the first half go folks🤔

Pretty even, would say we are edging it, a lot of fouls to stop the rhythm of the game, Hanson is winning a lot, we have defo missed this type of player and to be honest he should of scored but a weak shot,

We need to settle down it seems rushed and like we are nervous, defiantly can pick up 3 points here.

We've been the better side but it certainly reads of a game with two teams that aren't completely settled just yet, stray passes crosses behind the man etc, but its certainly fast entertaining football

Best half time stat. Macca has had to make no saves .

We weathered those 5 minutes well. We've not started this half as well as the last.

Just announced the attendance, basically 1100 Town in a 2800 crowd, I bet Morecombe really hate having us there  and them having all our gate receipts, Mr Dale please take note.

Scunthorpe losing at home to Swindon   :)

😂😂😂😂

Bullshit yellow for Green, he was clearly trying to pull out when he caught the keeper. Kenyon at least getting a yellow for shoving a squaring up to Green.

Cliftons been dreadful

Scunthorpe 0-2 Swindon   8)

WHITEHOUSE!!!!! So calm and cool from Öhman for the assist. That was beautiful.

That'll do nicely.

Get iiiiiiiiiiiiin

Supertown

What a story!

Buzzing for not only town but for Whitehouse after that awful injury he had last year. Good on the lad... Up the mariners!!!

Fantastic composure from Ludvig

Yesssssss go on Town (100)

Oh no Ellison is coming on. Cliffton with a great block

Hess down. Looks bad

Ignore me. He’s up

That doesn't look good. Hess just drops to the floor makig a tackle ref blows the game dead straight away.  

Wright on for Rose

What was their defence playing at ?

6  mins of injury time?!?!?!

Pollock on for Green.

Listening to the commentary, it sounds like we need to work on our passing.

If our defence did that I would of been furious. Not seen that for years and there is probably a good reason why - we will take it!!

Town fans eminence again today 👍🏻

MAX WRIGHT!!! OPEN NET TO SLOT IT IN!

Max wright !!!

YESSS!

Supertown

Get in. Mariners..

Yippee! Well done Clifton and Wright. (100)

Not a great performance but a brilliant result. Well done everybody.

Max Write my new hero 🤪🤪

Great result. Great start for Whitehouse and Wright.

Thats the sort of game last season we would of thrown away in the final minutes. Great win town!

Second in the league. Hahaha boooom!!! What a start to the season, we will only get stronger and hopefully Waterfall joining will help with that  

Dont matter about the performance , its the 3 points that count :)

Whos out in morecambe tonight

Id like to thank Morecambe's keeper for increasing my bank balance by £37  :)

Think they need to work on their offside trap! :)

But what great composure, control and pace, by Wright. Such confidence. A class finish. This lad is going to be a star for us this season.

Notts County losing at Eastleigh.....welcome to the National League   8)

You know the feeling when the dreadful realisation hits that you're out of The League. But losing 1-0 and having two men sent-off is a horror show.
What a good start for The Mariners. I'm glad you can all enjoy a drink tonight, very different to a year ago.

Absolutely!!!! UTM!!!!!!

Did we lose us shape?

Scunthorpe was probably scared pre match as Hurst bigger up Swindon as world beaters

It's the first game of the season for christ sake!

Cool as you like from Wright 👌🏻

Also like to say well done Town for winning away and also for playing in our famous black and white stripes instead of playing in the blue away kit that seems to be the fashion these days.

When was the last time we won away on the opening day?

Morecambe  03/08/2019      Where've you been

Great to get off to a winning start especially away from home. A clean sheet and also scoring more than one goal too..

Confidence boosting goals for Whitehouse and  Wright..

Couldn't have wished for a much better opener to the season..

Really happy for Max and his family, they are town through and through! UTM

What a great result! Not the best performance and we struggled to string more than 2 passes together but we ground out the win and took our chances.

I really like the look of our front 3, Hanson wins everything in the air and Rose has pace and a bit of trickery whilst Green seems to have a mixture of pace and power. All three were unlucky not to score.

Our midfield struggled to get into the game as they were bypassed by the long ball a lot and it was a rare off day for Clifton. some of our best chances came when we actually got the ball on the floor in midfield though.

Morecambe looked like a team of unfit old guys, I think they will struggle this year on that showing. Their number 2 was way overweight for a professional footballer, Roche isn’t getting any younger and was a liability for the second goal whilst old man Ellison is a nasty piece of work, he came on and just wanted a fight, he elbowed Öhman in the face whilst he was laid on the floor in the goalmouth and squared up to a 17 year old Pollock for no real reason

A great showing from our fans and it was great to see all those behind the goal celebrating wildly after each goal, it really shows how much football means to our town!

And he still managed to get an assist.  I think it was Clifton on the edge of our box who managed to flick it to Max.

Wasn't it Clifton who won the free-kick from which we scored the first?
