Back to the Race course on Saturday to lift my voodoo on Grimsby. The stadium is a nice little ground with modern stands on all sides. The pitch seemed more like a dessert with the plumes of sand being kicked up with almost every kick.
The crowd only just broke the four thousand mark but with the home side at the very bottom of the league and Grimsby some distance away perhaps understandable. Last time I was here, late eighties, I think the stands were wood and I was watching an international match. The fare that day was better with the Welsh taking on Holland I seem to recall. This time not a goal in sight. Classic case of ground is bigger than the team (for the time being).
