3 FISH on the SHIRT - Grimsby Town Podcast

Dave and Steve are on the road to Bradford City on the first weekend fixture of the New Year.  Can Town get started in 2025 after a disappointing capitulation to Accrington on New Year's Day?  We look back at both New Year away games. Up the Mariners #gtfc #mariners #football #efl #league2

Dave guests on BBC RH Sport to follow up on the Accrington game and look ahead to Town's needs in the Transfer Window

A bumper Christmas fixture review with the Mariners taking maximum points at home 2-1 on Boxing Day against Harrogate and 3-0 on Sunday 29th Dec against high-flying Port Vale. Vale though were not the only high-flyers as Town's aerial power was provided by [ACTUAL] Seagull 'Cam McGannet' fielding a ball in midfield flicking on cousin McJannet's transitional ball on to Jordan Davies. Watch the Epis...

The one game anyone connected with the Mariners didn't want to lose. A short but painful episode this week where we dissect the Holloway BS pre-match and look at how the game unfolded. As with the movie Die Hard it's kinda Christmas related but is it really a Christmas film, was this really a Christmas match? No, CHRISTMAS STARTS HERE!! #upthemariners #gtfc #grimsby #mariners #artell #eflleaguetwo...

We convene in the pod to pick the bones out of The Mariners 0 Crewe 2 and rue the current woes at home, with some important recognition of where we're at right now. As Mariners of 45+ years we come to the realisation that the early part of their league careers as Mariners may well have peaked too soon! As always we keep the faith - love the Town, love the club! #UTM #GTFC #MARINERS

What a great time to be recording a Grimsby Town Podcast! Great week 2x wins for the First Team, 8 goals and a thrilling FA Youth Cup win for the Mariners Youth Squad against West Ham United at Blundell Park. Never mind Storm Darragh, the Mariners put on a show for the amazing Town following who travelled 160 miles across the country regardless of the horrific weather. A celebration of all things...

The Mariners 5 Accrington 2, we sum up Town's home form-busting 7 goal thriller against our League 2 opponents Accrington. A much needed win and a great performance from our MOTM Jason Dadi Svandthorsson, who put in a superb display on a cold Tuesday evening at BP!

John Tondeur joins us in the 3 FISH Pod to talk about his life and times as the "Voice of the Mariners" for the past 40 years!  He talks about the club he loves, and the trials and tribulations of being a football reporter / commentator. A great listen for Mariners everywhere a frank warm and humorous at times, look at the world of GTFC from a unique perspective. Thanks to John for Joining Us.

In the week when everyone's favourite (sarcasm) ex-manager started blaming his new team's training ground as being haunted for poor form, the Mariners recorded their sixth successive away game without defeat at Newport. The ref tried to spoil Town's record, but to no avail, as the rejuvenated Jordan Wright, delivered the WRIGHT type of justice for Town (see what I did there!) Dave and Steve run th...

The Mariners record another stunning away win at the Cherry Red Records Stadium to defeat the previously unbeaten at home Dons 1-0. With availability and time in short supply this week, Dave pilots the show solo, and with the help of the fantastic  @donsvlogs2023  footage, reviews the game, savouring Greeny's outrageous assist to Danny Rose's great finish. Current away form is WWWWW 4 of those 5 i...

Town crash out of the FA Cup at first attempt and the poor home form continue, much to the frustration of the die hard 3,000 or so fans at BP. Dave and Steve ponder the imponderables of the second half performance against Wealdstone. We're hoping that there's only one way (UP), and reflect that there's still some perspective needed on Town's season so far. After all we can "concentrate on the leag...

We welcome TNT Sports (previously known as BT Sports) Commentator Adam Summerton on to the 3 FISH Podcast. Adam is a game caller of many years experience, having worked his way through the industry from local coverage of games, right through to the heights of European competition Finals. Along the way we Mariners have become fond of Adam's pronouncements of the Grimsby Play Off campaign that saw T...

Town contrive to be in a reasonable vein of form, but buck the tradition of winning more at home than away! This week saw the Mariners on the road midweek to Birkenhead away to Tranmere Rovers, followed up at home on Saturday with the visit to BP of the Football Franchise that is Milton Keynes FC. We also look at the feeling that we're doing the same things over and over at home in Groundhog Day f...

Steve talks about the season following Town's relegation, the arrival of Alan Buckley and the FA Cup run. He also fills us in on why his professional was relatively short, but how he continued to play the game he loves to a ripe age. Special thanks to Steve for taking time to spend with me for this 3 FISH on the SHIRT SPECIAL!! UP THE MARINERS!

Having recently dashed to the Doncaster early kick from Europe and made it, Dave has to leave the Walsall Home game due to a family emergency! Thankfully all is well, and thanks to all of those of you who enquired! Steve fills us in on the 1-4 reverse, we also update on the fans forum and Preview Tuesday nights forthcoming trip to Tranmere with #SWA fan Rachel from the Wirral! UP THE MARINERS!!

Part 1 Steve talks us through his early career, and how he ended up at Grimsby Town, and a tough first season under Bobby Roberts. A fascinating watch for Grimsby Town fans but also for any football fan interested in the life of a footballer from their point of view.

3 away wins on the spin , 4 wins from 5 overall with things looking up for the Mariners, Dave and Steve talk Salford (a), and the latest goings on at GTFC, injuries, the FA Cup draw, our brilliant away following, their songs and much more! UTM!

Dave dashes back from Vienna to get back in time for the home game against Doncaster, WILL HE MAKE IT!? or should he have stayed and watched Rapid Vienna this weekend, or Ajax on route rather than the disaster that was Donny at home. We pick the bones out of the 0-3 defeat and frame it against the backdrop of recent form. Join us as we meander through the ins and outs of this last week or so, whic...

We welcome Kieran Maguire from the Price of Football Podcast to the pod, to discuss football finance and in particular the ownership structure at the club and recent changes to the financial arrangements.

With Steve taking a well-earned holiday (mid-season!!??) we welcome Brighton's Albion Roar and Radio Reverb Broadcaster Alan Wares to the podcast as we look back at the fans perspective of following a lowly league club. We also look at our history-making run to the FA Cup Quarter Final which was ended by Brighton, but from a fans perspective. Alan knows all about Grimsby, after all he married a Me...

Undaunted by technical glitches, that are merely referred to and not blighting this episode, we look back on the 1-2 defeat to Barrow at Home, the dark arts, and talk about the smaller clubs that do well, and how good (or not) we are at estimating attendance - thanks for listening - UP THE MARINERS!!

This weekend saw a disappointing defeat away to the Spirites of Chesterfield.  But are we seeing green shoots of a way playing?  We discuss where we were on 8th September 2001, reminisce about the good times, share some unusual stats that came up over the weekend that feature The Mariners and look ahead to the upcoming Barrow and Bromley games at Blundell Park.  So what do you want to hear about f...

We gloss over the 1-5 Carabao Cup exit to old Yorkie foes Sheffield Wednesday, and unashamedly focus on the very enjoyable, positive win over Bradford City.  We discuss David Artell, the transfer window and look ahead to the Chesterfield (a) game.

We review the week's goings on at BP and discuss the 3-2 victory over Cheltenham Town, and as always put the world to rights!

Steve travels to Noots to experience Thursday night SkySports+ action live, and reports back from Nottingham immediately after the match.  We react to the 1-4 result
