Saturday 11th January

[Scum.]

Anyway I have my doubts about this match even going ahead looking at the forecasted temperatures.

Hope not, or this will be our third away game postponed and our three longest away trips at that! You would join the tinpotteries Barrow and Fleetwood...

If it does go ahead, you have the two worst form teams in the league battling it out. 0-0.

Wow I hadn't realised your form had nose dived so much.

Our pitch is great in terms of drainage. Been a long long time since we had a waterlogged postponement, but we don't have undersoil heating so freezing temperatures will do it.

It's going to be -6 Thursday night, then -3 friday night, barely getting above 0 on saturday. I'd be amazed if it's not frozen solid.

I expect it will be called tomorrow afternoon.

new boy Jarvis all on the bench.

Weird circle of life stuff going on in that then new boy Harry Wood on loan from Hull and had previously done well at Shelbourne came off our bench for the final equaliser in the 5-5 last season.

Is our game even going to go ahead with all these below freezing temperatures?

I think you'll find Grimsby remains sub tropical year round, despite what happens in the rest of the country. Pack your bermudas

Current forecast for Cleethorpes isn't as bad as most of the country, seems to be above freezing for the majority of the time, crucially even more so throughout Friday and Saturday. It will be absolutely baltic for anyone at the match but early signs suggest it will be on.

It's true, the soft clear blue waters of the Humber Estuary help to keep the ambient temp well above the norm. We have dolphins, leatherback turtles and bird of paradise flying overhead. Love Island is filmed on one of the old defensive forts just off Cleethorpes pier.

Why do we only ever play you at Blundell Park in the middle of winter? It’s never bloody August or May. Every time I’ve ever been that walk along the seafront from Cleethorpes station is like something from a Lowry painting.

Haha yeah that's true actually. In contrast, I've worn shorts to your place a few times. We always seem to come to you in August, September or April.

I've never worn shorts to a Grimsby match, home or away, not even in the 60's when I was a school boy.

This is top of the list of things that Dave Moore will never ever say.
