26 April 2004

Nicky Law says we need six points to stay up, and that's about it. No Town players have made the Division Two PFA team of the season thing, and not even the club's official website can feign surprise; not content with mixing up Town and Scunny on the front page of its sport section last week, BBC Humber is now struggling to distinguish football from rugby league ("SCUNTHORPE 1-0 MACCLESFIELD: The Black and Whites got their first win in 10 years at the Odsal Stadium"); the Grimsby Telegraph's 'local sport' section includes a story about somebody buying some shares in Manchester United; and various media sources are bidding up the range of the consolation goal by Graham Hockless at Stockport on Saturday. County's official site opens with a 25-yard screamer, only for its GTFC counterpart to up the stakes to "a wonder goal from 35 yards" and the BBC, in turn, to lead the bidding with "Graham Hockless' 40-yard drive". Now that is one big-ass front garden.
