Will it manage better than the monkey with the coin - low hopes to be honest.

Christie Park - Morecambe 1-1 Grimsby

If you've seen this ground on TV (like I had) the reality isn't as impressive. Still a nice lower league ground with stands on three sides and a chance to stand! Away visitors car park was under used as most probably joined us on the local roads. As seems usual in Lancashire we had entertainment from local kids dancing before the match in the form of the Shrimpettes.

Game was usual fare. Annoyingly my tea didn't come with any milk? The half time presentation was awful - who was that guy? Still we were bathed in sun - actually no we weren't because we have a roof over us for a change. Anyway another one on the list.

Get in there!

Now that's what I call a football match. About time on two counts, the result and a decent performance this season. Usual mind games from Sir F before hand. I wonder if he thinks it worked?

The Mancs are coming to town

Never much enjoyed this fixture.  It doesn't usually end well and too often includes some controversy against us.  I fear a dour nil-nil draw ruined by a later winner for them.
