Postbag: fuck yeah!
23 March 2007
Another week, another postbag. What? Oh shut up. Whinge, whinge, whinge. Have a word,
eh?
Send your letters about why Boston should be relegated out of existance, to postbag@codalmighty.com.
Putting canaries to bed
I went to that Norwich cup game mentioned in the last two postbags. I
stood in the Osmond as well with my sister whom I had forced at meccano gun point to bring me from
Caistor to the game. I'm pretty sure we took the lead and then they equalised before we lost the
replay. About three weeks later she asked me who we had drawn in the next round; not having
noticed, apparently the Norwich goal at all. This almost certainly means that Town scored at the
Osmond end and the Canaries scored at the Pontoon end. I'm afraid I can't be arsed to check the
actual facts.
Perhaps you should ban any further correspondence on this, frankly boring topic.

Hitch a lift
I'm just dropping an email to football fans (of any clubs) to see if they have
any information we can add to our website: http://www.WeWillFollow.co.uk.
I'm compiling a list of exiled fans and supporters clubs. If you're an exiled fan it would be appreciated
if you could put your details in, it'll take less than a minute. If you have any supporters club information
we
can add, contact me.
The site also allows you to offer and request lifts and tickets for games. It's 100% free, and all clubs
are listed.
Hope you can have a look, and apologies if this email is unwelcome, as a football fan I genuinely
thought you may be interested.

Ye olde GTFC webbe site
I was musing on the history of internet communications
relating to the mighty Mariners and was wondering how old you were and who your forbears were?
Has anyone written an article on the history of internet communications relating to the Mariners. You
know the kind of thing where did it all start and where did it all go (wrong)?
Personally I can remember being on an internet mailing list in the early to mid 90's which had a couple
of hundred members exchanging emails with like minded town fans. I can't remember for the life of me
who organised it but it was great, nearly every day I'd get some mail from a fan somewhere in the
world relating to the latest GTFC happenings. Now I have to go and look for the stuff myself and its
not the same. I often (well once this afternoon) wondered what happened to the people on that list.
Does anyone know. Does anyone still have a copy of the mailing list? Does anyone care?

Via email on 28/02/2007
Hi Brian. I remember the list well – it was started by Anthony Wood who also, I believe, designed
the first GTFC fan-site (remnants of which can still be found with the excellent Internet Archive). As for a brief history of CA – well, it was
thrown together by a number of people who were on that original mailing list, but mainly by Si Wilson
(who also had some input on the original official site, and the electronic fishcake). There is still a
mailing list of sorts which is still active and still has some of those people on from way back – but
nowhere near the number it used to have. If you're interested in signing up, drop me an email. [Letters

Tip top
Top Tip: Footballers – create an air of mystery over your sexuality by proclaiming
yourself STRAIGHT on a popular webspace community, whilst at the same time wearing poncey
powder blue coloured football boots at
Macclesfield.

More postbag praise
Are we due a postbag this week? I want to put a reoccurring
reminder in my outlook diary. Am I being a tad optimistic?

Positive pies
I'm pleased that Positive John is making a real effort to attract fans to home
games and to get behind the team but I can't help wondering if season ticket holders are getting stiffed
during the campaign. Apart from the obvious lack of legroom they now have due to their being more
people in the stands, the Johnny come-lately fans are getting in at reduced rates and basically being
rewarded for not being as much of a loyal fan as the season ticket holders. Are season tickets
holders compensated in any way? Free pies or tickets to away games? Cashback, perhaps?
Guaranteed savings, above and beyond the early purchase discounts, for next season?
Mat Hare
Via email on 07/03/2007
I think the club have started to do offers for season ticket holders (i.e. bring a sponging mate for
free, get a fiver off next season's ticket etc). Free pies would be appreciated though. [Letters

Gate receipt
I now have a gate at Blundell Park. It was a birthday present. Please take
lots of pictures of it because I don't have the technology at my disposal to do so.
It may even be a lucky gate – we've not lost since it was renamed.

I still think it should be named the 'gate of despair'. [Letters Ed]
Mathlete man
Question one in your latest quiz does not have
the correct answer as an option. We have 44 points with ten games remaining, if we won them all we
would have 74 points. 44 + 30 = 74

What do you mean *your* latest quiz? I had nothing to do with it. Gah. Stick to your poems. Coming
round here with your mathematical accusations... eh? You want some poem boy? Do ya? [Letters

Weekly (and appreciated) 'Boston are a bunch of dirty criminals' letter
What a brilliant article. But
B*st*n were only deducted 4 points, not 6, and started their life in the football league on -4.
If Accrington aren't treated too harshly with their own possible points deduction, maybe justice will be
done this year.

Strutting with balls
Love the site... found when looking for reviews of fish and chips! I
left Grimsby a long, long time ago, but still visit family though. I live in Victoria, BC Canada now.
We have an "English Sweetshop" here, run by someone from Grimsby – so my Mum says. Good for a
supply of aniseed balls. I can never figure out if it's the English or Grimsbyish people don't understand.
I never knew "struts" (the fish) were local to GY until I read your site!

Bulls News is the main independent Hereford United website
Just seen your article on News Now about Hereford OS
dropping links to other sites such as Bulls News. Had to smile. Many thanks.
BTW: Bulls News is the main independent Hereford United website. www.bullsnews.blogspot.com.

Rob Murray is great
I played against Rob Murray as a YT at Sheff Utd. He can't be as
bad as you make him out to be because our gaffer at the time, Frank Bottorsley, refered
him to Warnock who asked for him to join Sheff Utd YT's. He was a good lad.
I live in Grimsby but never went to school in the area. Rob Murray deserves a chance in the sticks like
all young gk's should – then I'd be happy for
your website to judge him. He also – if you looked it up – had a call up for England and Scotland
schoolboys.

Don't worry – lots of people in Grimsby never attended school in the area. [Letters Ed]
MKDONalds
Your club map has a very impressive
outline but only 23 teams. MK DONS absent. Please insert Milton Keynes somewhere north of
Wycombe as I need a complete map for my Ph.D thesis on
"The Geographical Factors influencing Changes in Form of Football Clubs in Coca Cola League 2 in
Season 2006-07"

Via email on 21/03/2007
There are only 23 legitimate clubs in League Two though, Geoff. Oh hang on – I forgot about Boston
– make that 22. [Letters Ed]
