1 April 2006

The Target 6000 campaign hits that target for the first time - despite rather than because of the club's cack-handed April Fool antics - as 6,058 spectators watch the Mariners pick up what football types are keen on describing as "a massive result" at home to Wrexham. After last week's drubbing at Lincoln, today's match looked increasingly likely to prove decisive in Town's campaign for automatic promotion, and Sladey's scufflers turned in their best performance for months to record a 2-0 win with goals from Gary Jones and Luton's Michael Reddy, moving four points clear of fourth place with six games to play. Assuming defeat and certain doom at Carlisle Five next Saturday - which Russ's tone of voice certainly seemed to be doing on Radio Humberside this evening - the side's next could-prove-decisive clash will be at Leyton Orient on Easter Monday. Me? Scared? No, I'm just shivering. Freezing, isn't it?
