He was decent for us, except if you needed him around Christmas

Ah yes the annual red card just before!

Providing I don't get food poisoning for the second saturday in a row I'll be at the County Ground this weekend at home to Port Vale.

We have a decent home record against Vale and our recent home form is improving. Vale seem to be struggling a bit but we have a few injuries and have had some tough matches in the recent Sat-Tue-Sat-Tue shoot out. Also late goals conceded at Lincoln and Wycombe mean we are 3 points down on where we could/should be.

Hopefully we aren't too tired and can put pressure on Vale from the start. Get an early goal and press home the advantage.

For any Vale fans travelling, the Merlin on Drove Road is probably the closest bar and has a good mix of home and away fans. For real ale aficionados, glue pot is your pub of choice. Safe journeys to all that travel.

Be about 6 nil and probably only be 100 vale fans there. The official coach won't get there till 2ish so won't be worth walking to them pubs anyway. I'm not going after witnessing that joke display at Cheltenham last week.

Canvey Island... memories (not good) of 2000... 4-2 up in injury time they pegged us to 4-4 and did us over in extra time in the reply 2-1!

Didn't Jeff Minton miss a penalty for us in the first game aswell?

 

[ASFC Tom]

We will trying to do something tomorrow that we have failed to achieve so far this season - and win 5 in a run at Barnet. TBH these are the game I fear most as we approach the end of the season - a team desperate to win to keep in the league. Tuesday was far from convincing against what I thought was a half decent Crewe team - hopefully back on it tomorrow with McConville back in the starting line up

Our fans forum wasn't merely as exciting as yours. No dodgy PowerPoints, no blaming of the fans for driving away of investment, no endless drivel spouted by an accountant who seemed to hate the fans and no said accountant telling fans to shut up. Shame really oh and no abusing of the panel host by the non chairman. And most importantly not a brown leather jacket in sight. We're doing it wrong

Hahaha this couldn't have happened at a PROFESSIONAL club surely #sinkingship

No surprise there, the highlight of most grimsby fans' week is kicking off with a Morecambe or Accrington fan. Backwards place.

The sun is out dahn souf. The stadium is waiting for the hordes of fans (cough) to come rattling through the turnstiles to watch two teams play a scintillating brand of football not seen since the last home game ( err.. last week).
Crawley welcome Lincoln in which is our first meeting since the last one. The new moon and the Redz bar welcome opposition fans so pop into one for a pre-match numbing of the brain cells...you are going to be watching Crawley...enjoy the day and remember. Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but photographs....never the points!

Harry, play with a striker for gawds sake!

We finally get a midweek off next week!

No Vickers or Wilson, Rowe came off on Tuesday night as a precaution but might not be risked, Freck hasn't been in the last couple of squads but he's not injured per se.

Allsop

Eardley
Waterfall
Wharton
Habergham

Rowe (Pett)
Woodyard
Bostwick
Anderson

Cheltenham away for us i'd take yet another 3-2 win with a late winner again but i've a feeling it will be a high scoring draw like at adams park which finished 3-3.

 

[Si Robin]

Saw a tweet today, Cheltenham and Wycombe draw 3-3 today it’ll be the 3rd time in Football League history that two teams have had that result 3 times in a row #crapfactoftheday

Win National League at a canter,
In play offs places in League 2,
FA Cup Quarter Finalist last year,
First ever visit to Wembley coming up,


But STILL you can't stop obsessing about Grimsby Town FC, you really need to get out more mucker.

Excellent isn't it glad you noticed.

Don't glorify hooliganism then bet you were one of the arrestees, you and PaulHadcock.

 

[kieran_vale]

It’ll likely make no difference as Swindon will win easily regardless but just seen Vales team selection today and truly baffled by it. Whitfield not even on the bench??? Very strange.

And also Montano seems to keep getting picked despite the fact he is complete garbage.

 

[GTFCfish]

Were fucking massive.

Scored but offside the usual let’s start well to tease them before imploding. Whitfield v Purkiss would have been decent for us with his pace yet gone for Monty

 

[valefan16]

Tonge! Teasing us even more now!

 

[kieran_vale]

Meh, just a bump in the road before Swindon go on the rampage. Seen the film before too many times.

 

[Buxton Vale]

Great start but I don't expect it to last. We've moved above Grimsby for now.

 

[kieran_vale]

It would have to be Rico with the equaliser wouldn’t it.

 

[Buxton Vale]

How predictable was that?

 

[valefan16]

Yeh had Swindon on the ropes and defence goes walkies and gifts them a way back in... 3 or 4 this will be

 

[valefan16]

How predictable was that?

So predictable I didn’t particularly celebrate us scoring!

 

[valefan16]

Harness injured so the baffling decision to not have Whitfield involved means we have big Tyrone on!

 

[Buxton Vale]

Harness off injured. Barnett on

 

[devilofajob]

Green lucky not to have had 2nd yellow.

 

[GodsGift]

Sounds like we should be 2 or 3-0 down at Crawley.

 

[valefan16]

And there it is... the collapse begins... right off to do something else now that’s over.

 

[valefan16]

Yet another calamitous goalkeeper error after dropping Lainton for his of late!
