How's Connell doing.

[Benzel]

Love Connell. Always scores important goals.

[Batch]

He's played less games than he has deserved to IMHO, and gets subbed a fair bit.

Yet his attitude is spot on, at least in public. He just seems to want to work hard and score goals. And he can.

So what's not to like about AC?

And hopefully singing back in the league next year. To be honest it hasn't been as bad as I expected down here. The main difference is the friendliness of other clubs at away games and it's also given me the chance to add about 20 new grounds to my list. 2 seasons is long enough though, so hopefully we can continue our good form right to the end of the season. It's just a shame we only won about 3 of our first 15 games or else we would be challenging right at the top.

I can remember when Grimsby were up in the heady heights of the Championship. And of course Clive Mendonca, who I imagine is a club hero?

I remember Mendonca. Swindon v Grimsby used to be quite a fixture as we were often promotion rivals.

I really like the fella as a man and a footballer. Doesn't get enough time on the pitch imo and never lets the team down when he plays.

And not so long ago either. It was only in 2001 that we knocked Liverpool out of the League Cup at Anfield with a last minute extra-time 35 yard screamer from Liverpool fan Phil Jevons. Since then, the last 10 years or so have been all downhill, apart from a win over Spurs in The League Cup.

Yes, Clive Mendonca is a club hero and IIRC he was the only player to be voted "cult hero" for 2 teams in a BBC poll a few years back as Charlton fans voted him their "cult hero" too.

Is the magic roundabout still there btw?

Connell would be my first name on the team sheet

My cousin is a Season Ticket holder at Grimsby.

His Daughter was going out with a kid that used to take the drum to the game. We don't do drums at Swindon thank god.
He was close to one of your young lads that died this year. Very sad (I think he used to take a trumpet to games).
So so glad we don't have to put up with that at Swindon.........just a vocal crowd for me.

Alec Gilliatt (Gilly) is the lad with the drum. Yeah it was very sad re the trumpeter (Richard Broadley). He was diagnosed with acute leukaemia on the Sunday and passed away on the Tuesday. So quickly and such a waste of life for a talented 20 year old. It came only a couple of months after the death of another of our fans, also 20 year old who died from a rare form of cancer.

The game after Richard died was rather emotional as his name was chanted for the entire match and over 100 fans stayed behind for over half an hour after the game in which Liam Hearn presented the signed matchball he recieved for scoring 4 goals to Richard's family.
