Diary - Monday 16 April 2007

16 April 2007

"The result in Accrington put a dampener on a lovely sunny day for Town fans. Their mood wouldn't have been helped with the news rivals Scunthorpe had won promotion." The Diary cannot speak for other fans, of course, but I couldn't disagree more with this assertion from today's Grimsby Telegraph. As the outcomes of football are decided more than ever on bank balance sheets before balls are even kicked, the Diary's spirits are increasingly lifted by any news of a poorer club outperforming richer ones, and the fact that Scunthorpe happens to lie 30 miles down the road from where I grew up does not diminish how ace it is that their little football club has done what our little football club used to do not long ago, and soundly beaten off a number of better-funded rivals in securing promotion to the second division. So, well done, the Irons. Could you just start slipping some LSD into Nigel Adkins' post-match cup of tea before he goes on the radio or something?

You're not that arsed about the result on Saturday, either, are you? Bit of a pig if you've travelled there and everything, sure, but it signifies nothing about how Town will do next season. Let's just get that one thing completely Peter Bore.

I do feel sorry for Gary Cross though.
