28 April 2010

Mardy Diary writes: I don't know whether to feel excited or utterly sick about the game this weekend. A week or so ago I didn't expect to be in this position, so given that I'd resigned myself to relegation this match should be approached with excitement, right? A chance to survive that we didn't expect to have? It will be tense though - and the longer the match goes without us scoring, the more the momentum will shift to Barnet. I just hope the atmosphere is as good as the one last night when 100-odd Grimsby fans joined in with the Stanley Ultras to support Accrington. If the crowd are up for it - the players will be. Torquay was an odd match - as I entered the ground the whole atmosphere felt wrong. It was like turning up for a wake for someone who hadn't died yet. We don't want that on Saturday - if we're going down, we need to go down kicking and screaming. Well, making lots of noise anyway - I'm not suggesting violence here.

Tickets for both the Barnet game and the Burton game are, unsuprisingly, selling pretty quickly. If you're a season ticket holder you may want to think about sorting yourself out a ticket for Burton pretty quickly. If you lives outside of Grimsby, you can phone up and book your ticket - thankfully. Unless you happen to live in Doncaster or the surrounding area - then you'll, presumably, have to travel to Grimsby to get your ticket. Talk about a postcode lottery, eh, eh?

Our mail box has been bare of late, mostly due to the .com domain being absent for a short while. Toronto's third biggest Grimsby fan, James Booth, has finally found us again though. He writes: "I assume there were some technical difficulties in the last month or so with the site as after two weeks of looking for it and finding only search links to religious pages I had stopped checking to see if you we're still there. I finally thought you had abandoned the Codalmighty ship when my enquiring emails were sent back as undeliverable. So yesterday when I typed in the URL I was very pleased to see that the site is alive and well. It also appears your great service was continuing while I could not access it. Not sure what happened but am very pleased you are still going and that everything seems to be back to normal." Yes - sorry about the James. Unfortunately we didn't pay a bill on time for the .com domain which meant it was temporarily off air. Some readers were still able to access the site through the .net address - but most probably don't know it exists. So in the future, if you can't get through - dial the .net address.

Jesus - are they still banging on about that bloody Sweeney goal award? Give it a rest - it's not important right now. We don't care.
