I agree it’s a horrible ground in one of Englands most overrated towns.
…..but they do have an away bar, I think it was new last year. Avoid it at all costs, it is cold and soulless and only sells Guiness (yuk) or ice cold C@rl#ng. Which reminds me of a famous quote from one of the Directors of the long defunct Tolly Cobbold. Back in the 70´s they brought out a lager called ‘Husky’ and after they went bust, the old school director said something along the lines of ‘we called it husky because it tasted like dogs piss’.
Just take the piss out of away supporters, Harrogate are/were sponsored by Black Sheep Brewery.
Apart from our little flurry approaching half time, by far the most entertaining part of the day so far has been watching all the seagulls circling the ground during all the injury breaks. Good job I’m in the standing end, because I would probably be asleep by now if I was sitting down.
In fairness you would need to be born here to want to live or work in this shithole. I’m sure the whole fleetwood crowd have got in on a single family ticket.
I’m pretty sure that most on the home end were nodding in agreement when the faithfully were singing ‘Fleetwood’s a shithole’
Shockingly poor crowd and if it wasn’t for the Col U youngsters they’d be no atmosphere. Poxy 12:30 kick offs. the EFL are killing the game and they don’t give a shit.
3rd game of the season for me, and I’ve not seen us lose yet!!!!!!
I believe I’ve just seen Neil Kelly getting some grub under the stand. Sadly I didn’t have a chance to tell him to up his game ‘cause Marky thinks he’s shite.
Has anyone ever seen any of his Starlink Satellites traversing the sky? I’m guessing the response is something like, “yes of course we have, where have you been for the last 10 years!”
One balmy evening last year, I was sitting outside having a glass or three and about 30 minutes after it had gotten dark, this very strange line of about 50 bright lights moved across the sky. Very spooky! I had to check the bottle to see just how much I had drunk.
If you Google Starlink and look at images, you will see what I mean. The lights were quite low, so I guess they’d been launched only a few days earlier and hadn’t gained much height. Quite interesting when I read about them, but it had the hairs standing up on the back of my neck at the time.
Maybe someone can tag Mr M onto the end of the next launch.
Can’t be there today, but Grimsby is one of my favorite grounds.
The ground is shite, the view is shite, Cleethorpes is a horror show, it’s always cold, their mascot does really look like he should be subject to a court order and it’s on the edge of nowhere, but ……….
……. the away supporters bar under the stand is a thing of beauty, with all the scarves etc. It’s also shite, but in a lovely way. They didn’t have to put it there, but they did, because they care.
For me, he’s spot on with the belonging. I always feel like I’m with family, especially at away games. Sometimes seems like the Adam’s Family, but it’s my family none the less.
It’s not like we got to choose the U’s, it chose us and the glory hunters crying when ‘their’ team lose will never understand the feeling at Huish Park.
There are lots of things happening in the world that are depressing, but football isn’t one of them.
Accepting that Lyle probably hurdled the defender and hence no contact, but because matey didn’t get the ball, David Gregory was adamant that it should have been a pen because he impeded Lyle by making him jump out of the way lto avoid a broken ankle, thereby impeding him from being able to continue with play.
