1 January 2010

OK, that's the worst decade in Grimsby Town's long and occasionally distinguished history over then. From a sort of high point in 2001 when Town spent a few hours perched (slightly ridiculously I have to admit) at the top of the old second division to yet another horrible home performance to leave them 91st in the league with an alarming gap to the 'safety' of 90th. But tomorrow is another Saturday and your Guest Diarist is looking forward to some football after what has seemed a very long Christmas and New Year break with hardly any of it.

Mr Casper volunteered to have Dale ask him questions yesterday on the subscription-only superb new official Town web site. The interview was curiously unrevealing with Casper anxious to avoid a single negative about anything. The players are working very hard; the players are motivated, the players are disciplined; Town can win any football match against anyone (even Rochdale). The fact that Rochdale (god bless 'em) are seen as the absolute pinnacle of whom we dream about beating made that interview perhaps revealing after all.

Well happy new year gentle reader(s) and may you, yours and Town have a better time of it. But whatever happens, remember that support is unconditional - renew that resolution will you? See yer.
