I want more nights like that, I do.
Not the score line but the mood, yes please.
Arriving the earliest ever at a game, streets busy.
Forest fans enjoying a chippy tea at the seaside, have to.
Pre-match optimism that they might be disjointed, we hoped.
A full away end singing, fine voices.
A full Blundell Park, love it.
No selfie with John McGovern, I’m Town.
We didn't settle first half, too nervous?
We hurried a bit and panicked a bit, stay calm.
A bat in the upper having his tea or his breakfast, who knows?
He’ll be the size of a seagull when he’s finished, or Parkin.
Reincarnation is not my thing but we should name him, Jackie? Sidney?
A night of moments to treasure, file away.
John McGovern chatting with Alan Buckley, two legends.
Must have crossed paths on the pitch, early 70s?
Two old war horses with stories to tell, shared history.
We pushed and harried and didn’t give them time, second half.
They didn't like it and we pushed on, keep going.
3-0 flattered them. We’re back.
They’ve already shared so much, this team.
They will do well this season, I'm sure.
Staying to the end to support the lads, we’re proud.
Still humming it this morning, can't stop.
We love you Grimsby, we do!
