12 January 2009

Idle Diary writes: With the weather putting paid to Town's last two matches, the pent-up sense of anticipation within Town fans up and down the country for this coming weekend's trip to table-topping Wycombe couldn't be any higher. So exciting, you'll want to crush an grape! Frustrating waiting, sure, but imagine the roar released on Saturday as the black-and-whites come on to the pitch at the usually soulless Adams Park... It'll have been a long time awaiting the team that Mike built, rather than the one he's had to make do with, but at the moment you sense Town fans know it will be worth the wait - as opposed to hoping or even praying, for those who believe in a being higher than Mike Newell.

Among all the new faces coming in and rumours of the majority of the squad being made available by fax, one reasonably familiar face has committed to prolonging his Town time, Nathan 'Jarmo' Jarman signing a two-and-a-half year deal late on Friday. While Jarman may not have quite nestled into his optimum position on the pitch, the lad knows that Grimsby is the right place to find it. Onwards with the Newell revolution!
