Goody two shoes
22 May 2024
May 22nd can only mean one thing. Yes, it's the first birthday of Daubney's replacement right hip. One year on and the limp with the pickled poise of Town's 2008-09 back four has been replaced with an acceptably-gaited stride. All that remains to remind you of Town is the pace and orientation, that being the ponderous uncertainty and confused face of a ball moving around our 2023-24 back four.
On to meaningful Mariners news and we still await the summer's first announcement of replacement parts arriving at Blundell Park (boo, that's the worst lead-in ever, Daubney Out, sack the board, etc - ed). As appetisers we've had some decent #TractorWatch to maintain what is now one of the best pitches in the league, and the most excellent news that Umbro will be supplying our kits. GTFC Heritage continues to impress, as does the club's role in the Our Future GY project, and this foster-carer initiative:
As the first fostering-friendly business in North East Lincolnshire, we are proud to support Foster Carer Fortnight.

The main excitement of some extreme engineering in the Main Stand will surely be here any day now. That and of course several footballing demigods, oiled and prepped to carry us to the 2025 Division Four title.
How such success would impact season ticket sales would be something to see. Town chalked off the two thousand ticket milestone yesterday. That would be deemed remarkable if using eighty-ninth out of ninety-two as your sole parameter. That position is not the reality, and neither is the wafer-thin surface anger which often greeted the bad results to put us there.
The club failed over the last twenty years because hundreds of little things were done badly or not done at all. One by one, these wrongs are being righted. Town fans know it. Something could be happening and no one wants to miss out when it does. Go get shopping, those tickets could be nigh on impossible to get this time next year Rodney. UTM.
