Away v Grimsby Town

Great..... already booked train tickets. Due to arrive at 12.51pm. Plenty of time for normal kick off .Will now miss the start of the game. They do not think about the common supporter at all.

 

Last time we there I arrived at a pub after a 2-1/2 hr trip from darn Sarf. Walked in the pub and immediately shepherded out

 

By mr and missus plod. Nice touch.

 

This may be the first but suspect not the last given the fantastic numbers who travel and the smaller grounds which the Police may see as a problem.

 

A few years ago after a Tuesday night game (we won 3-0) my dad was walking back to the car and was hit on the back of the head by an egg thrown by a bunch of lads in a passing car. Obviously taken by surprised that he’d been hit by something he proceeded to put his hand on the yolk which he assumed was blood though he felt no pain. Imagine the relief when he realised it was an egg.

Strange bunch of feckers in Cleethorpes

 

I'd earmarked this as an away day when I realised the ground is in walking distance of Cleethorpes station. Reading the comments I'm thinking my little fantasy of strolling down the prom and a few pre match beers may be a bit wide of the mark.

Got to admit I've never been to Cleethorpes, is it a shit hole?

 

Its like the land that time forgot.

 

Now that is just damn right disrespectful to a shit hole comparing it to Cleethorpes.

Let’s put it this way, I’ve been several times and during one occasion before a 2-1 win (Jorgensen scored well into injury time) me and my dad had a walk along the front as we were early. I have never seen so much dog shit in my life. Awful place and Grimsby fans seem to have a right chip on their shoulder for such a Micky mouse club

 

A close second to Goole IMO

 

That's Barrow in furness even @Bronco would still be in fashion up there..........

 

It used to be called something else but all the direness made the queen change her mind and rename it Grimsby

 

It’s that time again. Where fans that live and work in a ‘shithole’, take the piss out of opposing fans because they live and work in a ‘shithole’. Us Northerners are a strange lot.

Divide and fecking rule.

 

It might be a shithole but it's OUR shithole. Have a bit of pride ffs.

 

Been about 4 times.
Including being there on the twice on the all day piss up with mates and driven down on my own .
Place is a dump but never had any trouble in or around the ground.
In fact their fans I'm the pubs I visited were a friendly bunch .

 

I am proud to be from Bradford. I don’t know what I said to suggest otherwise.

 

I went when Beni Carbone scored from a free kick. He'd been out on loan and had just come back. Possibly the last time he played or scored for us. It was a class goal.

 

I went when Mark Stuart scored, god knows how long ago that was.

 

I remember when they played Halifax a few years ago, police were out in full force in Halifax. The made shops lock their doors as they were herded through town centre to the ground. Trashed the pub opposite Boots
