I'm only going if they let me sit in the old historic members stand with a glass of pimms and cucumber sandwiches, with crusts cut off. Moved on from the Grimsby days...

There is another reason I am not going , I enjoy watching soccer not just the wanderers and you cant watch soccer at the SCG

So how is their new shiny stadium coming on?, see they boasting hosting next season's NRL final there, must be coming apace for that statement.

I can't find much information

Saw a story on the news the other day and it looks like it's come a long way, though Parra was the same and then it took ages to do all the detail work for all the non-seating infrastructure (change rooms, media areas, offices, corporate areas etc).

WFT has Sydney got to do with the Balkans?

Nothing. Being from the Balkans means I have a deeper understanding of passionate hatred.

Bur surely you'd want to attend the away game with the team you hate the most even just to "show your presence"

Is Grimsby worse than Stoke? 

I don’t think I’ve been so conflicted in following my team into a game before.

Win: we beat the Smurf’s and all is great in the world but it also means Carl survives another day and the shitshow goes another step closer to rolling on

Lose: The shitshow comes to a head and something is done about it once and for all (hopefully) but it means we lose to the Smurf’s and all is not great in the world

Strange times to be a WSW fan...

Grimsby's ground is actually in Cleethorpes and has and extraordinarily high rate of mobility scooter usage. Fact.

Ill always hope they win, especially against that shower of shite, and I hope I’m wrong about Carlo and it turns out he does know what he’s doing 

if he doesn’t we can deal with the shitfight in the off-season

Ha Ha, the confidence here is overwhelming. 

I am starting to believe the conspiracy that the higher ups want Robbo to play more yoof and so the back 3 maximises their chances. Without the back 3 I don't think we ever see Natta but we don't have the players at CB (#Mcgowan #Ziegler) and the players in general just don't do their jobs appropriately leaving us more open than an open home on Auction day.

Robbo and Kenny have gone back 4 when they are desperate (see last derby) so its not like they don't know we are open in defence, I have to wander if the higher ups are forcing the back 3 to happen to allow more opportunities for the better academy players.

When you win 5-0 one week and lose 5-1 the following week then is it no wonder we are all scratching out heads over CR lol

Our back 3 problem is 

- it relies heavily on the wing backs both in attack and defence, with our wingbacks being kids it’s too much to ask 

- it means the likes of Ibini, and yeboah, mueller end up playing out of position if at all

- our wingbacks get caught to high up the field and nobody covers them 

- we don’t change from it when it’s clearly not working eg Perth

So will there be an RBB or are we protesting?

Trying to predict the result is pretty much impossible. This could anything from -

A 5, 6 or even 7-0 drubbing

We could win something stupid like 5-4

Could be a high scoring draw.

Most unlikely to be 0-0 lol

Who knows what that crazy ****er CR has in store for us this time!
