RP.....yeah mine before I lost a bit of weight :-)

Ah, yes, a DD Cup game :)

DD - isn't that a bra size?

Rangers fan on twitter saying Forrester is having a medical at the Franchise tomorrow. Turned us down as he wants to be closer to home and Franchise manager has Scottish links. Hope not true.

DD was that a cup game? I heard a story that back in about 1980 Grimsby played away at Anfield in the FA Cup and they took over 20000 fans. No idea if it is true.

In fairness some of the underwriting in bras could easily be mistaken for a garrotting wire. If the average male football fan with moobs can go braless, perhaps the female away fans at Stevenage should do the same.

Grimsby are a rag tag bunch to say the least . Had a minor run with them myself on the train during the conference promotion season

Yorks - I'm going to suggest something completely radical. Dan doesn't know you so any barbs are meaningless. Why not just ignore him? Everything else has failed.

Shergy-Grimsby brought 4500 to Donny last season, they were all over the place, I've never seen so many punch ups at one game.

Dandon - jealously can ruin you. Seems that's the only logical answer to your stupid jibes towards me.

Stevenage are saying that they had intelligence about Grimsby fans that led to the searches. Back in our CCL/Ryman days I once went to a Franchise v Grimsby game at the hockey stadium when scum were fighting relegation. Yes I know that meant giving franchise money.......get over it. Anyway I obviously went in the away end and some of the Grimsby fans were as rough as anything so it comes as no surprise to me that Stevenage had Intel on them. They made our fans look like saints!!!

Talking to a coach i know at rangers he reckons he will come

HHW - textbook 😂

Franchise claiming Forrester is going to them too now

I was already thinking about that and then factoring in the people from Grimsby tend to smell of fish

Kyle imagine the stewards asking our lot to lift their tops up...... sweet jesus....

Wd... you know I love it haha

It's the stewards I feel sorry for

That Stevenage steward story is funny. I'm just wondering how many naughty words I would use.

Careful HHW.

Collette - I used Yorkshire Womble. He scouted out the boiler opposition for me in advance.

Thanks Meadow, SDR and Biggles. London & Surrey were on my list, as accredited Worcester installers, but I'll give Ash a call as well. Trying to work out if I know him!

When Darius is fit I can easily see us switching to 5:3:2. Something like: Darius, Robinson and Nightingale as a back three. Deji and Francum wingbacks. Abdou and Trotter in DM with a new AM in front of them. Taylor and Apiah up front.

Sorry if this is long, but I wanted to make a few points about recent performances. I agree with Mike T that we shouldn't be panicking, but there are a few big concerns. I feel like the system we are playing relies heavily on Apiah. He's the only player who drops back into the center circle and picks up the ball. He tries things (little turns and flick ons) that will bring other forwards into play. The problem is that he's playing really badly, and he constantly loses the ball. The other three front players all look happy enough on the ball, but they all come out wide to receive it and they play miles apart from each other. Apart from crosses there has barely been a meaningful pass between any of them. Given the lack of width in the squad, we are kind of stuck with this system, so I think we need one of two things. 1. a centre forward who plays with his back to goal. not necessarily a lump, but someone who can make the ball stick and play in tight spaces (maybe Smith) 2. A tricky number 10 who can run at defenses and make things happen (maybe harry forrester fits this bill).

Surely the RyGas man is your man??
