Reckon we'll start sorting it out, a 3-1 win - goals from Rhodes, Ifil and Pook (!)

Just spoke to the ticket office and grimsby have returned their allocation so the rest can be sold on the day - they've sold a whopping 44 tickets up there!

5900 crowd.

Just 44 Tickets. Come on.

I think we'll win, but I'll be suprised if we score more than 2. We haven't managed it so far this season!

2.1 Peacock and Evans (If he plays).

0-0 written all over this one - sorry

The bloke in the office 9not the usual one...(they must have at least 2 working in there now, must be a volunteer) seemed disgusted.

I got straight through as well which would suggest they're hardly inundated right now

I just went down there and was the only person.

2-0.
Rhodes.
Evans.
 :D

This is the game to turn it all around. 4-1.

LP with 2, Williams and a Jack Smith pen 8)

1-1 :-))(

2-0 to us. 5500 crowd now all the extras have gone after we have started doing poorly

What odds on a Tony Thorpe hat trick???

big win required, to lift players' confidence and get fans back on the gate. Mind you, Grimsby isn't the biggest seller is it?! Even their fans can;t be arsed.

we.better.win.

1-1

Might aswell go for it!

I reckon whatever the score is, so long as we score, Rhodes will get one

2 people when I went down there an hour later.

or what?

I'm not convinced that we have the ability to finish a team like Grimsby off. Therefore it's another draw me thinks.

If we haven't got the ability to finish off Grimsby, who have lost 4 of their 6 away games this season (And drawn the other 2) We might as well get used to league 2........

We WILL WIN..........

Don't get me wrong I hope and pray that we'll win but after witnessing the dominance of the 2nd half at Accrington and still not generating enough chances (in my opinion).

I hope the arrival of Rhodes might spark a goal revival somehow.

 You could have quite happily said the same about Boston, who arrived at the CG with a very poor away record, had conceded more than any one else, with  next to no away support, had just been more or less condemned to relegation, by being done for financial irregularities, yet still showed more desire than our lot.  Subsequently Boston lost to Rovers, just to show they are bad.

   Clearly this lack of desire, can be directly traced to the machinations of the Board.....we saw it last season and we're seeing it now......nothing has changed if anything, things have got worse....I'd fully expect another 1000 to flake from attending today.

  The remnant will start to have a go at the players as things deteriorate, when they should be venting their frustration at the top of the club.

got a quid on  3-0,3-1,3-2,4-0,4-1,4-2 and 4-3 (every week) obviously not won anything on these yet this season - got the draw-draw at 14-1 last week so I bunged a quid on Swindon-draw  this week as a little extra

No Evans-not even on the bench.What?

Good luck and enjoy the game chaps. Gonna be in mid air during the game and after, and while you are pissing your hard earned readies against the wall, and when you get to bed tonight ! :(

NMH

Evans is slight injury - might be ok Tuesday

any one else here?

P Brezovan
J Smith, J Ifil, A Williams, J Vincent
R Brownlie, M Pook, C Weston, A Monkhouse
L Peacock, F Onibuje
Substitutes
08 A Brown, 12 R Shakes, 15 A Nicholas, 21 L Jutkiewicz, 29 A Rhodes

Unchanged then - another 1-1 then.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Anyway of getting BBC Radio Swindon on a regular radio (new fangled digital jobby or somethink) when you're nowhere near Swindon?

I know that Sky TV gives loads of regional stuff and some local radios stations, but I couldn't see Swindon or Wiltshite.

Shockingly accurate typo  :D

Any one know if their are many town fans in leeds or about

Used to be one.
And I found another one at the University who shouted "Up the Robins" during the play-off game while in a bar.

But that's about it.

Oh well i know one

WISE IN

Grimsby Commentator in response to Ricky Shakes coming on to the pitch.

"Ricky Shakes Coming on. Well there's a headline for the telegraph if he gets a goal"

End of comment.

Do the BBC employ 'special' typists?

Defending throw-in by Gary Croft (Grimsby).

We're now on about 60 minutes into the game, Shakes came on on 56 minutes.

need to keep them out here

Get the grimsby commentary on both links.

 :(

It really really makes you appreciate our commentary team!

really, i got the swindon one :P

I seem to have got lucky today - I've actually got the STFC commentary. How are we playing?

Sitting back?

Waiting for Grimsby to pull one back to set up a tense last 10?

Debut for Rhodes. On for Onion Bhaji.

pretty much :) always the town way

lets hope Rhodes has a good start

Wycombe 2 down at Walsall now.
Lincoln stuffing Boston.
Notts County losing to B Rovers which is good
Franchise only getting a point

Gaps are appearing in the table now...

sounds good, as long as its not between us and the top

At least Wise have done the subs early enough for an impact.
Shakes gets 34 minutes. Rhodes gets 21 minutes.

Better than Lucas or Fola getting 5 minutes to change the game.

It might encourage us to keep going for more goals rather than sitting back.

fook

8 points between us and the last place outside the play offs as the scores stand. It's just a shame that we appear to be playing like wankers and now Brezovan is injured and we don't have a sub keeper :?

WISE OUT

How can you not put a sub keeper on the bench - prick.

It had to happen sooner or later.

Ade Williams in goal  :?

Oh fuck.....

Big Willy in goal

I remember the game at QPR a few years back when Fraser got sent off in the first half. McDonald went in goal and we held on to win 2-1. Let's hope for a repeat performance.

The Brez Stretchered off

Need Wise to pull out some good loan contacts now. We need a loanee keeper and fast.

Ade Williams in goal - 15 minutes to hang on?

FOR FUCK SAKE LET'S GET THE BALL  AND START PLAYING IN THEIR HALF!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever happens someone needs to shout at Wise and say why in the name of God don't we have a sub keeper on the bench?

Who needs 3 strikers on the bench?!?!

Who actually came on then?
We still had a sub. Who was it on for the Brez?

I agree with that OST

We wont be able to have a keeper on the bench next week

andy nicholas came on

Nicholas

Nicho on
into Williams position alongside Ifil.

OFF OFF OFF

Damn he should have gone off

Come on - do something with it you pricks!

Phil Smith in goal next match then....

Why hasn't he been playing in the reserve match midweek?

Anyone know what Smithy will be like for us?

Take your time boys.....
Stick it in the corner.

not long left

86 minutes done - There'll be a fair few minutes added on - 5 minutes?

THE COCK

3-0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK FUCK FOR THAT!

:beers:  :beers:  :beers:  :beers:  :beers:  :beers:

fucking get in.

damn i missed it! oh well atleast it went in!!!

6 minutes added time.

WE WANT 4
WE WANT 4

 :mrgreen:

Break dancing goal celebration  8)

Grimsby Commentator votes Ifil as MOM

Nice goal difference boost

Start of the day:
Wycombe +9
Swindon +7

End of the day:
Wycombe +7
Swindon +10

what happneed for the goal?

Peacock close to offside, raced clear of defence, chipped keeper one-on-one.

BBC:
Goal by Lee Peacock (Swindon) lobbed right-footed (top-right of goal) from left channel (18 yards).Swindon 3-0 Grimsby. Assist (pass) by Andy Monkhouse (Swindon) from left channel.

nice, sounds like a class goal

Yeah - I look forward to seeing that!

Ade Williams

"England's No.1, England, England's Number One"

 8)

:fu: Grimsby

Ohh get you!

Only cos you're losing you stroppy commentator.  :face:

well done boys

YEAH!

IT WASN'T A 1-1 DRAW  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

3-0, but how costly will Brezovan's injury be?  :cry:

That is the first time 3 players with the letter "K" in their name have scored in the same game!

Just got back from the game. Loved the Peacock celebration he done the Booker T Spinerooni. Touch wood the Brezovan injury is not as seriously as thought. Good win Impressed with the new boy Rhodes. I thought his goal should of counted.

Compound fracture of his arm. That means broken bone sticking out through skin. Serious. Long lay off.

Just got back from listening to it at a friends house. Ed Hadwin and Phil King made it sound like Brezovan was dead. They said something about a suspected broken arm? pussy I've played through worse. Think I might go to the pub. I'm bored.

Ady was pretty steady in goal. Fair play to grimsby fans for applauding with the swindon fans as Brezovan was carried off.

If he wasnt clearly a yard offside then yes i agree.

u twat like half of the town  end  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Isn't Williams Welsh.

I had to laugh when the Town End were singing that and then changed to "Wales' Number 1!"

funny none the less.thought he did fine in goal,less ropey than his outfield performance if truth be told

And Williams can kick better than the Brez.

i'm confused by this statement

It means he looks better in goal than in defence  :roll:

Best thing ever, fact.

thats not the first time adie williams has played in goal....and he has been capped by Wales about 13 times...

However, I did fear for the worst when he went in

no it doesn't.
on a couple of occasions he was nowhere when headers were to be won.he did no wrong when in goal.
i still rate him as a defender

twat

i think that's maybe a little harsh but probably true. meh i think we're improved and that's all we can ask for

agree completely but he does look to ifil to win some headers that are his to win.
a minor fault and he has done well for us.dont think i'm slating him as i aint

i thought are performance today was average ,we didnt really pass the ball well but we did get the result.

Great win today. am chuffed with that result. we needed it big time. Sad to see Brez go off and i thought Ady Williams did a great job in goal towards the end. new lad looks pretty good too

Ha-Ha, We didn't hear them change to Wales Number One on the radio

 :D

Fuck me!! What do you want? We won 3.0, with no goalkeeper for the last 20 minutes! We're in Division 4, what do you expect, Brazil?

I thought the performance today was very, very encouraging.

I liked it when Poyet was having it out with the Grimsby bench  :D

It's 'our' not 'are'. Just thought I'd let you know...............

today was one of the most convincing performances so far this season. They didn't really threat going forward, and didnt shoot when williams was in goal, which didn't help their cause.

I thought that new bloke did ok when he came on. looked lively an all that.

Paul evans must of been playing in a michale pook outfit. that guys class at the moment.

liked it when tht TE were sing "referees a wanker", and then his name appeared on the scoreboard. nice one

Good to hear we won, and no matter how well or badly we played, I think any team would have taken a 3-0 win over Grimsby today.

And Thorpe didnt score  :wink:

I thought the overall intensity of our play was much better. First time since Wycombe that weve really played at our best for a whole game. Thats what Wise has to instill, focus and effort for 90 minutes without exception.

I had a good feeling before the game, just a shame the performances had to dip before it brought the best out of the players. Got to get those 1500 odd casual fans back now.

And as R4E says, it was a relief to see that Thorpe is still moping about, getting no end product.

 I was pleased we only flaked off around 500, rather than the anticipated 1000......but to be getting a smaller crowd than the scum, who aren't even a league club....just shows the depths to which the current off field management have taken us.

  The Lincoln fixture is looming, and will produce a decent crowd, as Lincoln have the biggest away following for this season, haven't been here for years, have just about the best away record in the land, and have some right nutters. I'd expect them to fill the Arkell's bit. Maybe even get the Bamk open.

And Hereford, which should be an attractive fixture. So hopefully 2 good gates comming up. As for the current off field management, lets hope that the team play well. Because they have absolutely zero ideas about how to boost attendances otherwise. Which is great, its exactly what you'd expect from a company that calls itself 'sports management' (!).

Best not to talk about the scum attendances. Although I did notice that Dagenham are only 2 points off them now.

Looked very impressive yesterday, we bossed every area of the pitch for 96 minutes and looked so solid I actually believed one goal as enough, which made finally putting 3 away extra pleasing. 3 good goals too.

 Why not......some of our part time fans need to take a good look at themselves....there's always an excuse, whether it be living on the other side of the world, or mincing round in Brighton taking arty photos.

I had a valid reason for being down there yesterday although I can't deny that I was properly mincing down the seafront.

Saw the goals on T'Championship earlier, it's nice to see that we're able to finish properly at last. All three goals were well taken, although Pooky's was a little fortunate as Monky fluffed his shot slightly.

anyone know where i can get the stats on yesterdays match?

 Looking a bit longer term we also have Rovers and Wycombe before the the turn of the year.

  I'm particularly looking forward to Rovers....missed the game back in about 01....and the previous game was 95/96.

  The worst trouble I've ever seen at the CG was v Rovers, and the recentish attack on the Tap....suggests the family club, has still got more than its fair share of knuckledraggers.

I missed that game in 01 too. Although there was serious trouble down the train station after that game as well. Chance would have it that I was at Didcot station when the Rovers lads were comming back from Scumford earlier this year.

Id never call Rovers a fammily club. In fact I think their fans are some of the most backward and old school Ive ever seen. Proper unfashionable club. Bristol City seem to pick up the chav football factory effect, whereas Rovers' lads are older, but much less in numbers. Their fans are alcoholics. Trouble at Rovers games is unpredictable but violent. And they seem not to have discovered the internet yet  :shock: . All in all Im intrigued by Rovers, I think they are pretty unique for a southern club. So its a shame im going to miss the home game again, im in Oz.

fucking cousin is getting married and my mother has threatened me with death if i dont go, its getting ridiculous i have followed town for 30 years and have yet to see a town rovers match.

 Its a bit of sarcasm from the Shitheads.

 
 

  Back in the early 80's at Eastville, the Rovers mob organised themselves with CB handsets which at the time were cutting edge technology, this enabled them to send out spotters for Town fans and call up other bits of their mob for a ruck.

  We were still using carrier pigeons.

Chances are I'll be coming from Bath for the Rovers game (on the train). I think I may forsake wearing my Town shirt, from what I've heard of the Rovers support!
