This whole Harry haddock thing makes us just look so tinpot it’s embarrassing
Sorry i disagree, Yes a gimmick, but over the years has been funny, but has got people talking media etc.= publicity / put us on the map Come the match we are on telly As i said at work we are the underdog team all the "Harry" hype people who will watch the match for curiosity sake. For me win or loose i want to enjoy it being there. One bloke did say the inflatables at some matches got on your nerves bouncing around stopping a good view of game ...you cant win . Ok shake my hand share a beer and see you there. UTM |

FWIT I’ve got no problem with Harry haddock or anyone taking inflatables to games , the Barnet day was quality , it’s just us making such a big thing about it and whining on talkSPORT etc just makes the club look tinpot. We’re serious about this game , it’s our chance to go the furthest in the cup for decades . This bo.llocks about a haddock makes us look like we’re treating it like a jolly outing instead of an important game .
Sorry if that makes me a boring tw.at.
Btw keep those ❌ coming 🤣

It's all about publicity and having a laugh at the same time. |

Happy now just bought my ticket!! With you on the publicity and a laugh. Where i work the blokes are taking an interest and some are "Happy for you ,all the best !" (Those who support clubs are out of the competition) Some look at the "Harry" scenario as "Louth" says not taking the game serious or taking football serious. Bear in mind some of them are still in the Cup! IF and A big IF (We beat Southampton after being at the Gillingham game ) Town will hopefully get to play one of them, which will shake our place up on the loading bay "Banter o meter!" and split the place in half blokes throwing their 5pence worth in left ,right and centre... "Grimsby Town on Telly ! ..Naah I am washing me hair that night !" =Bald bloke Then says "You are going though? You Northern C##t!" Would not miss it for the world. UTM |

Correct. Makes us look like a load of Sunday-league daytripping yokels happy to go & get smashed by the mighty Southampton as long as we can wave a plastic fish about. All this forced-fun, themed day garbage that’s popped up in the last few years after Barnet is really contrived. |

The old adage that “ any publicity is good publicity” works for me, who knows some Arab sheikh may whatch the game and think what a great bunch of supporters and club and invest his £100 million.

Southampton used 17 players today ( Chelsea were also allowed 6 subs).. I hope none of them play against us as they did very well today.
Just like Town to go and beat the team that won away at the Bank of England club,
