Just a thought?

I was in Tenerife back in the day and wanted to know how town got on in the cup. I went into a bar and asked if they could get the results up on ceefax . The people in the bar asked who I supported. When I told them Grimsby I got the usual remarks about how crap we were and what a joke I was for supporting such an unfashionable team as the ceefax pages scrolled through. It got to towns page and it said Grimsby Town  7  Luton 1.
You should have seen their faces in the bar as I calmly said  I suppose it’ll do, and walked out.
UTM always.

I always get from people
“”Oh Grimsby ok, but what big team do u support””?
As if it’s mandatory to support a prem team
Couldn’t give a damn about prem unless we do a Bournemouth or a Burnley and get there ourselves
I Do look out for Pilgrims results as have been involved with them through work
Come on Town 3 massive point today

I had a very similar experience in Menorca sadly it was the night Town lost 8-1 at Hartlepool

Must be hard for the children though in school who support Grimsby and get the mickey taken out of them.

Quoted from Brazilnut

I work in Donny and often get you support Grimsby what do you know about football from the Donny scunny Sheff Wed Sheff utd Leeds and of course the man u fans there oh and the west ham gizza ......to which I always recall a fact from a match against said fans team in which town came out on top ...... even if it is only own your own record attendances to man u fan ......... but also I appreciate proper fans and have this morning text a Newport fan on how good and exciting today will be for him

The irony of it! That is from a follower of a team who were non-league not too long ago.

Always supported the one team. I went through a phase where I had a Premier League team that I looked out for each season but that was always one of the newly promoted teams.

At school, many of my friends were season ticket holders so it was never a problem. Whenever anyone made a derogatory comments about Town being poor, I used to remind them of the Liverpool score or ask them if they enjoyed watching 5 minutes of their team on BBC One every Saturday night.

That night we were in a hotel in Bournemouth and I was having a great bit of banter in the entertainment room, with a load of Bristol Ravers as I called them,  fans.

The next morning I read the score in the paper and went down to breakfast with trepidation; and as luck had it, none of them had obviously seen it.  

I live in Lincoln as I’m at university and I still make sure to wear my town top proud when I play football each week. Get a few stares but wouldn’t change my team for anything

I often work away and the conversation on "who's your team?" always crops up,

On one occasion when I said Town, I will always remember a guy say that he would always think of me when he sees Town's results, he said he never remembers the people who support the fashionable premiership teams but always the smaller local teams.

He was right, when I see Portsmouth's and Spennymoor Town's  results, I always remember the people who support them, none of the others though.

A couple of years ago in Stockholm, I was educating a Swede on the merits of Omar Bogle and the following week he told me that his 12 year old son had just added Bogle to his FIFA team.
