Your team is managed by a character from Tekken? No wonder they're not playing very well

*groan*

Right, seeing as it's now resembling a free-for-all gag fest, can anyone do worse than Chris' effort? I very much doubt it...

Best effort gets a slap with a wet haddock.... *

But not Lorraine Kelly though, Dan!!

Anyway, maybe you should rig up World Games and play it live, just think of the fun you could have:

Barrel Jumping:
"Three barrels, surely? Oooooh, I think he might have cleared it, and he has! Three barrels.."

Cliff Diving:
"Ouch, his bollocks have taken punishment there as he hit the rocks balls first.."
"He's bellyflopped in, who does he think he is, Bobby Davro?"

Sumo Wrestling:
"It's Paul Gascoigne versus Fat B'stard from Austin Powers, just look at those lumps of lard. Anyone would think they've just signed for Grimsby Town or something" ;)

Caber Toss
"Lovely knee high socks as well..
It's a massive one!"

Just, you know, for entertainment's sake..

Hehe. Reminds me of a school trip. A summer evening, the girls in their dorm, a tape recorder running, me providing a commentary... The most unforgettable phrase of the evening?

"And the ripped trousers are on the bed"

On that note, I draw a veil of secrecy over the whole event...

It would only have been a matter of time.

The only consolation for me is that Rushden, Notts County and Wycombe were even more crap than Grimsby. That's some seriously bad football being served up if Town's games were anything to go by.

I have a feeling we will do exactly what Doncaster did and drop into the Conference then back into the league.....only I don't see it happening in 5 years - more like 10

Back-to-back promotions doesn't look likely either so this could be the kick up the arse that Town need to turn things around before it gets to the stage of Conference footy coming to Blundell Park. The average crowd size (about 3,000) is similar to the Conference anyway so we're halfway there already.

eeak! don't start talking conference mate. Thats one place you do not want to go. Hopefully you'll be alright in Div 3. Getting out of the conference is a right bastard as carlise and york will find out.

strange really, who would have thought Doncaster would be above Grimsby several years ago?

oh and don't be suprised too much if we make it 3 on the bounce. The john ryan express has only just left the station

heh i look forward to seeing u sitting unhappily just one shy of relegation 2 seasons from now in div1 neil

just so i can keep taking the piss..
being a chelsea fan i get to do that sorta thing hehe.

but i digress.. shame ol grimsby went bye bye.. but they'll be back next year all teams have bad seasons... except manchester utd..arsenal... madrid... um.. think ill shut up now.

Post by **tas** » 20/05/2004 - 19:20

hehe, Inf if we are just one shy of relegation from div 1 in two seasons time mate, i'll be over the moon pal

Certainly not unhappy.

anyway you glory supporter, you don't know what success is pal... When you've been nearly the bottom of the conference, 4 players on the books, no kit (borrowed from sheff united), no goal posts, A chairman who burns down your stadium then to reach the hights of division 2 after 2 successive promotions, a new stadium in 2 years time, going from 800 supporters to 11,000 all in the space of 5 years then you know what success is and what football is all about

so sorry there's nothing Chelsea can do to beat that

so ner ner

Infamous · Post by **Infamous** » 21/05/2004 - 1:59

Yeah, I know I shouldn't be thinking about Conference football for Town. The disaster that this season was for Town has made my confidence in them to stay in Div 3 very weak indeed.

I certainly never thought that Doncaster would be in Div 2 so quickly from when the problems were there with the chairman burning down the stadium and the lack of players.

My Dad (Rovers supporter man & boy)was obviously not a happy bunny through all this and that Channel 5 documentary on Doncaster when the problems were happening just made it worse for him. Now, of course, I can't shut him up about Donny...that sound familiar to anyone here?

And yes, I do see Doncaster challenging to get into Div 1 next season. They're that good.....

I dunno inf, if rovers came 2nd in the premiership i don't think it'd ever reach the same feel good factor as the year we got promoted from the conference. Mind you the golden goal winner which clinched it for us was a bit dramatic. Playoffs are scarey, it was the first time i've ever whitnessed them first hand and boy if we never go through that again i'll be happy. When the goal went in i fought hard not to shed a tear with all that had happened years earlier, and i looked around me and saw nearly 11 thousand Donny fans all in tears. I doubt any experience in the future will beat that feeling at stoke. Although the penalty shoot out against chester in the semi's came close

Paul: Do you see Grimsby rebuilding from this relegation, or do you reckon next year will be another season of struggle?
