The podcast episode opens with technical difficulties, as power outages and missing LED sponsor boards spark jokes. A host reveals he'll return to Popmaster, a music quiz on Greatest Hits Radio, after a seven-year gap, vowing to win and avenge a previous loss; he plans to mention the podcast since it's no longer BBC. The group then discusses the recent League Cup defeat to Blackpool, agreeing it was a useful preseason tune-up despite the loss, with some relief that the team can now focus on the league, which they believe is the priority after last season's fixture congestion hurt promotion hopes. They also reflect on the closure of beloved local spots, particularly Ernie Beckett's fish and chip shop and Studio nightclub, treating them as significant community losses; a host shares a memory of celebrating promotion at Studio. Another host recounts meeting referee Trevor Kettle at an air show, criticizing his past decisions, including a bizarre offside call, but noting he was personally pleasant. The episode includes nostalgic chatter about old music technology, Easter eggs, and playful teasing, maintaining a casual, fan-focused tone throughout, with plans for a pub quiz event and ongoing support for Grimsby Town.
This podcast is proud to be part of the TalkSport fan network. TalkSport powered by fans. Is that good? Are we live? There we go. And it's live. I'm too grouchy. Yeah, hi everyone. DN35 has power quite literally in this case. It came on like two minutes ago. So hopefully we don't have any halogen lights going to the London park because they ain't working. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe we did buy some new, well we're putting in some new LED sponsor boards this year. Apparently is that what is it shorted the local area? We were only speaking about this on Saturday. We had a where are these LED? Yeah, we were looking forward to it. I was looking forward for steels flashing up on the screen. You know every every few minutes sport. No, not there. It's a point in that report. Yeah, I don't know what's happened. There's definitely were there X. I have seen them laid out ready to go. But not there anymore. So I don't know. Is this an exclusive? Is this the final we've got an exclusive on DN35 that three fish hasn't got? No idea. We had sponsors and someone stole them. Is it a bit like that old album? Who was it that had the album that was steal this album? Was it a system of a down? Yeah. I knew Hannah would that's that's Hannah's, you know. Was that like the opposite of the YouTube thing where YouTube put everybody's to put their album on everyone's iPhones and iPods? Wait a minute. Oh, awful. Fucking bono. No, this is YouTube. No, because over the days, I'm so low to things on Shriplug work. They say you were listening on Shriplug and then this song that I had not bought or downloaded or ripped onto it just appeared on my thing wonder. Can you remember the days you used to have to record the top 40 of the wireless? No, I can't remember those days, Mike. You used to have to take the top 20. Yeah. They were 20 years old. I'm more for the VGX. Well, while we're here and while we're talking about music, I have a personal music based announcement I'd like to make actually. Hannah already knows. I'd love to share it with the group. Good. I got no. How big is this? I think it's huge. Huge. So after seven years of hurt, I this week will be making my return to Popmaster on greatest hits radio. And I am determined this time. Gonna bring it on. Come on boys. What's Popmaster? Oh, fuck. It is. He's a musical quiz that has been ongoing for many, many years presented by Ken. Well, usually presented by Ken Bruce. He had his name there too. No, Ken Bruce is still alive. It was. Where's that breaking news again? A Ken Bruce is still alive. There's a bit like the cabier thing last week. Got it. You're still here. But yes. He's a long time institution. Then Ken Bruce moved to greatest hits radio. He talked the show with him. I was on the radio to show about seven years ago. And I I lost on you know, bitter. I'm still bitter. I got a good score. I got 24. But the guy next to me was brilliant and he hammered me in the end. But this time I've been studying hard for many, many years waiting for this moment again. I will avenge. I will avenge and I'm going to bring. Popmaster home back home to lacedby. I was. What do you win? You win a popmaster game. A board game and a year subscription to great hits on demand. And of course, the glory of being the popmaster world champion. Exactly. Exactly. All about the glory and finally my mother will speak to me again. I mean, I'm worried that your mother won't speak to you. So considering we don't know what it is, I'm just going to put it out there straight away either. Congratulations on commiserations, whichever is more appropriate. Mike, the fact you don't know what popmaster is is making me reconsider this poll pop quest thing. It's quite quite a big thing. I have a lot of knowledge that is probably quite niche that you don't have. And nobody has. Yes, we have. Nobody should have. How was celebrating Mike's presence at the weekend? Wasn't I young? I was. She was big in your up. She thinks that you're the secret weapon to this quiz team. Is that bad is it? Yeah, when somebody's bringing on a sub in the 85th minute and it's like, oh God, you're leaving off. And if you want to compete, by the way, against the DN 35 pub quiz team, come along to dox. Beers in a couple of weeks time. Get some viewer teams in. Come down seven o'clock star. Dan Randall is asked a very nice as paedie both a very nice compliment Alex. That's very nice. What are we what are we doing? So I apologize. I am editing a video for us that is important. So keep it going. I also watched none of the game on Saturday. So if anyone can tell me exactly how that went, that would be great. I heard it was all Christy Pym's fault. Yeah, absolutely. And we're going down. Yep, we don't have to talk about it really. You've just some dealt. Thank you and good night. Cheers. Oh, Daniel, very kind. Yes, I'm on the measure. I don't think I am. I can't afford them. I would. I would. I love. And man, Jarrow might going to keep talking over. However, if man, Jarrow want to sponsor us. I think there's a lot of. Does anyone want to start off about black? But I mean, first of all, what do people think about having the lead cup first given the season? I mean, it makes a bit of change from, you know, having. One and a half thousand people there, unless it's for a. It was really good. Games gives money. I got it. It was very hard. It felt like a preseason game. I'm not the build up to it. I'm not necessarily a bad thing to have it where we had it. I've seen a few people say that, you know, you got the bit of the rustiness out your system. Obviously, it would have been nice, wouldn't it? But I think we showed some real promising signs. We had a hell of a lot of chances, which was good. Blackpool, they just kind of let us run ourselves ragged and then capitalized when. When they when they chose to really, but yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't necessarily bad having the game before the season. I don't think we had a real good attendance. Yeah, I think from a draw point of view, it's a great idea to offer competitive game kind of before the season starts from a. And like I said, you know, usually you're lucky to get kind of two thousand two now thousand them games aren't you? We had just under five thousand and it was, you know, it was a good turn out. So it's a bit of a mini financial win for the club really. I think I'm guessing it was only put here because of the World Cup. I'm guessing I'm going to that's the only reason why it was kind of pitched on that week. Because the Premier League started for another yet another week after us, but. But now, yeah, not against it gives players a run out. So it's get puts minutes in the legs and if you win great, if you don't move on. Are we not all just slightly supported though that we didn't, you know, no, many night this season or is it concentrating on the league and which everybody thinks we're going to go up as champions? We will pay for that man to actually gain by losing in the first round this conference for the next 25 years now something like that. That's the way it's going to go. I think now. Yeah, 100% absolutely. Yeah, we've we've used our lead to card for the last 20 years now next 20 years. I mean, so used up top top them was the same one. When we beat top them, that was it. Nothing them for years and years after that. But of course, that was our second one in five years. That was the four years after I'm feel wasn't it? So, yeah, we have had a bit of a bit of a couple of sets over the last few years. So Southampton away and get to the core finals the FA Cup and then. Trying to concentrate on the league as I think it had a bit of a detrimental impact on us last season. You look back at you look back at the end of the season, you two or three games. We could have turned into wins. I think we'd have gone up and there was a definite fall off with that amount of football we were playing in those high games. So, the mother me. I'm not mentioning earlier in the season, the games either side of when we've had big top games, whether it was back in the before man, you were. Was it Barney after Wednesday? We got we drop point while so was after the walls game, wasn't it? It just does a lot of drop points in and around those games. So I was. for sort of almost 51% happy when I win.
do you want to get one of that? And there's a lot more football played on that pitch as well. I mean, go back to the to the Wolves game like so that that effect to the season some bit as well. So the little amount of football that can be played on that pitch this season the better. And we all know that there is one trophy that hasn't come home for many, many years. And we haven't taken it seriously. And this is the air now. Leacock's done. It's out the way so we can finally bring home the links senior court. That's what matters. We need to become the Pridelink and sure again, bring it back home with us jobs are good and will have a parade down Horncastle High Street. I can get a photo with you, you're with the link to shopping one arm and the pop master and the pop master champion trophy on the other hand. Don't go beyond that's the dream I can never even dream of. That's beyond beyond the realm. That is the double to get the Premier League and Champions League. That is the double. I can imagine youngy there like Jack Relish on top of the the 9x. What all I'm saying is if I win pop master, it's not just a win for me. It's a win for Grimsby. Well, how are you announcing yourself? Do you get to announce yourself like, hi, this is Richard Young from. You know, Grimsby, what do you do, Youngy, are you going to just say, I am the professional voice of D N 35? D N 35 will get a mention because it's not the BBC anymore. So you can mention it now like the B when it was on the B used to get the kind of all you can't mention, you know, commercial entities and all that. Can do it now. So I'm great. This radio. So there will be a commercial entity. Well, I'm there. Just call something similar to that. We have a technical. Yeah, I was getting very angry with our left win thinking. The are we still under the talk sport network? We are. Yes. Yeah, we are. Yes, we are proud members of the talk sport network. And whoever is on it. An MP3 player. Oh, that's a that's a great. That is a very naughty prize in an MP3 player. Did you have a quick one? This digital disk mini. Don't just know mini. No mini. This might. No, no. I'm not that old. You really are. Scott. What? I'm sorry. I have a walk that. Is it a walk man? Yes, I do. Walk man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. We all had. Do you have. Do you have a disc man, Hannah? Did you have a CD? I was just going to chip in though. I want received an Easter egg. And it was blue like the band blue. It was an Easter egg with a little pocket radio with headphones coming out. And that was the first Easter egg I've ever had. What? Yeah, it was incredible. It was incredible. Thank you, mom and dad. What Grimsby Town related Easter eggs do we think we could make? Like, what was, I don't know. It just be Barry Conlon, wouldn't it? Notable eggs, Barry Conlon. It was a notably bald. I would form a town player. I think we've been quite. There's a lot of. There's a lot of. Yeah, can the Janet's there now? Eighteen four fleet, bold. That's lovely. That's a lovely reference to Adrian Forbes. It is Hannah. Hannah, you are a little bit hissing. So I'm going to mute you. So only when you're coding. It's a bit hissing. It's a bit hissing. Well, you know, I'm very sorry. There we go. I don't want to. True place. It is the noise of, well, we've got to play credits. But then afterwards, we've got to obviously remember those who we lost between now and the end of last season. [MUSIC PLAYING] Open wide for some sugar. And now the shipping forecast is issued by the Met Office on behalf of the Maritime and Coast Guard Agency at Double 130. Go! It's a Double 130. I've got like a rubber one. Did it really stand more than my late friend? The other one, crazy. This antiquated main stand I can feel it vibrating. Here, I've got down to here. There's a fish line over there. There's more to the wall. [INAUDIBLE] This is Stolen, Stolen, Stolen, Stolen, Stolen. [MUSIC PLAYING] Oh, Mr. Portes are in favor of this. Because Grinsby Town, of course, one of the biggest upsets in the history. Love it. Welcome, everyone, to the DM35 podcast. I am clearly padding now. But one thing we've never done on this show is remember the great institutions of Grinsby that we have all known and loved. Youngie, it was sad that Fish and Chick went with a whimper rather than with the golden parade it deserved. Same with St. James's Fish Restaurant. JD, Dancing, whatever it was called, the Winter Gardens. The pier. The pier. The pier has got, yes, Mike. The roundabout at my park on Las Vegas. Yeah, that's gone. Yeah, that's the first. The school-- oh, more importantly. The school on Las Vegas, where they went, now we don't need that school. The school I went to is now gone. No, Western. Didn't they lose Western? Yeah, it's gone. That's where I went. It's gone. It's gone. But now we have to add another pantheon to these great institutions which we've known and loved. And I'm really sorry for those exiles that don't necessarily know about this yet. But-- [MUSIC PLAYING] Ernie Beckett is gone. And it doesn't matter how many reform MPs stand outside of it shouting into our roadworks. It's gone from us. One of the greatest institutions. How do we all feel about losing a bastion and a pantheon of the local community? This is the main thing. I think when the Grimm's Be Area loses a poor borer, a shopper, whatever, it's sad, but you move on. But you feel it's a real kind of kicking the-- real kicking the teeth when it loses a chipied on it. It's like taking away a family member, isn't it? Whether you were at that chipie or not, it's part of the local family crew and God rest on your back. It's an all-who-sailed, you know? And I mean-- I would also like to add a treat as well to the studio, which has also sadly announced closure. And I have a very special memory for studio. The first time around, we got promoted. We're celebrating. The team were out, Bradley Wood have feared. And he was singing. He's one of our own about himself, all on his own, on the dance floor. And it's a memory that has lived with me for a long, long time, resting because of the studio. Was this your-- it is betting, man, as well? It must have been you. You get a card. You get a card. It's just so sad, you know? Anything else is going? I think the-- I think Cleathorps will write it if that random Italian restaurant on the corner that has a guy who appears to be cosplaying as Mario. That's-- He knows. Yeah, if Valentino's goes, I mean, I don't know how many of you here have taken young love to that restaurant. I certainly didn't thought I'd have thought it had been a nice thing to do. What did-- I don't know. Does everyone-- I mean, if that happens, then I think we all write it. I think that's all we all write. Ben is coming back. Ben Bristo, remember these people with kindness and with, you know, empathy. They'll just come in with your grim speech. Beckett says, I mean, God, since COVID, when they shut the restaurant. They all got the jab, didn't they? That's way too bad on the channel. But now all of them make you wonder. Makes you wonder. Yeah, makes you-- Come on, then. Wasn't Ernie Mr. Ernie Beckett himself on the board of the football club on the side? I'm only thinking of Ernie, I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure. He's just a giant man in a pitch costume. I'm going to Google if Ernie Beckett is a real person now. This is-- surely must be-- Oh, that's why I said Mr. Ernie Beckett, because like-- I don't know, don't know if we've called Ernie Beckett. Or Mrs. Ernie Beckett. I don't want to be here in sexist, sir. I'm at Mrs. Ernie Beckett. Exactly. I'm sure the Ernie Beckett, who was a man, was on the board of the football club. Sam, I'm pleased to tell you. I'm pleased to tell you. Not only was Ernie Beckett real, Ernest Beckett, but he was also one of your all up. [BLANK_AUDIO]
Tory politician. I did do that. My answer. I think that's Mr Macman. I did do it. You can't raise your hand. You've shot the bullet. What me bang. It wasn't me. Defence. Defence. I looked at it. Yeah, no, it wasn't me. Got a governor as you throw the baby over the bridge. My hands are clean. I thought the safety was on. I thought they said, yeah, all right. Look, important stuff. Important stuff. Oh, hi, hi, Mr Rodgers. If I see, I will get you that pain. Sorry, Mr Rodgers. He's an happy stud. I never told you. I'm going on. That's just. I'm terrible to me then. It was that just me. Yeah, it sounded terrible. Yeah, try again, Sam. Maybe you should put me in when we gave you. That's better. He's muted himself. Right. What was it? Yeah. That's how he rogges his dad because of the youngy, youngy did what youngy did. He said he was going to buy somebody pint. Pint has not been bought. I think this is a. Where's HR? I'm holiday. He's still holiday. I ain't seen him to be there. If he, if he, if he, if he, if he approached me, if he could approach from the front and not like, tap me, hold it behind. That would be less of a scare moment. But like, if he comes to the front of me and says that, you know, where's that pint, youngy? I'll go straight to the bar. Hannah knows full well in the fingers. We're in the spot. We can get down. I'm serious very, very quickly. There's going to be some people coming to you saying that happy Rodgers is dead for pint on saturday. I need ID. Do we need to do we need to? I don't think I've been on the pod since I met a member of League 2 Royalty. Let me see if I can, I'll try to find a picture because I did take a picture with the man. So my work, my, my work takes me here there and everywhere. And recently I've been at the Fembre Air Show because we run it and we work it. Let's see if I can find it. There was a picture I took with him. Here we go. I see if I can add or I get this onto my laptop. Right. You got to talk about the salary, isn't it? I thought I'm doing quite well here. How do I, should we go into the game while he's doing that? There we go. Now I've done it. I was doing it. There we go. There you go. It's not loaded, no? I mean, I've just realised what I've put up on more. But yeah, I met Trevor Kettle, the worst referee in League 2. You'll be all glad to know. In our works in my work, I've just realised he's completely on that, but that's fine. We don't need to dox him. And just don't point it out, mate. It'd be fine. Don't point it out. He was, he was very nice. He did call me Fat though, which was a bit rude. So, you know, there we go. We, I introduced myself because I'd been emailing him for a while. I didn't know he was. I said, "Look, pleasure to meet you. I was slightly worried you were this God awful ref we used to have called Trevor Kettle." And he goes, "Yeah, that's, that's, that's me." That's that. Ah, you were, you were fucking awful. I then, I then explained, I remember you once gave offside towards in our own half. He goes, "Yeah, well, it can happen." Well, I was, if he receives, he runs from inside, it runs off from an offside position and receives the ball on our side of pitch. Yeah, he didn't do that to me. And he then doubled down saying it doesn't matter anyway because our lad is now referring and he gave you a lot two soft-to-ship penalties last season. So, you're now equal with the Kettle family. So, there you go. That's what you have to say. He's a, you know, spicy man, lovely man, terrible ref. What's, what's the plowable for Kettles? What? Isn't it? It's a twat. It's a twat of Kettles, yeah. By the way, last season we gave a lot of stick to Mike for having friends in football. So, Alex, cast out the season as. Referee friend. Ah, that's what we friends are referees, do you? Ah, you're not, isn't he new mate? He's my new mate Trevor Kettle. Should we try, do you want me to try and get him on the podcast? Yes, yes, I do. That'd be brilliant. Just, just, just, if he ever had some would be fantastic. If we ever have like. My name! We have a controversy. Any controversial referee in decisions, we will ask Trevor Kettle for his opinion on it and I, 98% of them will be wrong. That is a fantastic description of. Was Nigel hair the referee? He beat him from Barbie. Well done, it's very good. So, yeah, we all, we all mix in now with the rich and famous, you know, Mike has had John Healey, chance of the ex-checker on his old house. Sam. No, as in his house, we used to be important, but now is a relevant thank god. Hannah, Hannah's doing. Who's the most famous person you've met? Hannah, you've met some famous people. I remember seeing stuff on your Facebook and meeting famous people. Oh, that's a lot. Yeah, probably once then. I went to. Danny North. Danny North. I remember that. That's a minor claim. I've met World Cup at Dinsle Bank, so that kind of can't go that out a little bit. You met the World Cup? I've met the World Cup, yeah. Was it nice? Yeah, it was lovely. Track the fans well. I haven't met him, but I was on the same aeroplane as Nore Gallagher. That's my best one. Oh, you're good. That's a good one. That's a good one. I went into the same school as Maxine Carr. Not sure that's the same. You met anybody, Sam? Yes, I'm who's the most famous person you've met. Is it Trevor Kettle or higher? It depends basically what you view as higher than Trevor Kettle, because I'm not sure most of our listeners are particularly interesting. Well, I tell you what, it's not bad. Now, it's just got a boost game all over it, higher than Trevor Kettle. Yeah. Don't we'll be the judge of Alex. Alex can be the judge. Let's play. I will. I will. I will. I will. Some celebrity meats. Play your ass off. Cards, right? Okay, because most of them are foreign politicians, it must be said. So I've got four former prime ministers I've met at least for the conversation with. It was fun, I met John Barnes, I've met Brian then. I've brought to a swim across the road. I tried to meet Jeremy Clarkson, but I couldn't quite get to him on the farmer's process today. It's controversial. We're finding out. Sam was there. Sam was on the farm. I was unemployed at the time. I had nothing better to do. You decide to hang out with lots of other people with plenty of free time in the middle of the day. Okay, we're not going to go down that. I'm not going to go down that like that. I'm not going to engage. It's a point 30 minutes in. You were you in that Brexit blow, won't it? You were in the megaphone. Sam, when you're an unemployed, are you going to start doing what everyone else? Everyone else who's unemployed in Grimsby does and just cycle around trying to film police doing random stops with people? No, I did. I did. He's in a single. I don't intend to be unemployed again. I'm not going to end some never going back into party politics. Are you an unemployed? Have you thought of if you're an unemployed, why not just cycle around the town? No, I'm not. Film random things. Surely some other people can think of a triad enough. I've thought of one that Trump's in a cell. I'll only vote. I'll met him. I've bumped into him in a coffee bar in Clarkson. Apparently. That's not enough. Is not enough. Can I tell you mine? Because it trumps all of those poor gas going and you're now power met him. In the mid 90s at some point, he went missing for the weekend and he was on the news that he was missing and he was on my Granddad's fishing farm that he'd hide out for the weekend and I was watching the news with him saying he was missing. And I've got to go back in a minute. I work with gas level. That's that's that's from that Trump. So, Pist off Pallone and teeny trying to get a selfie in a pub. Nice. I Pist off Hashem Amla by having the similarities to walk out into the oval and distracting when he was batting. I had a wee next to Pete Doe and the Liverpool teams. What are we talking about? We're talking in Pete, we're talking in Pete fame of Liverpool teams as well. All I can kind of look then it's when he was going out with Kate Moss. So I was just kind of looking across going, okay. Okay. Are we going to talk, I mean, I suppose we should talk about football for Thursday. It's a really, really fun talk. I'm really enjoying this.
Well, we do talk about it a little bit. Yeah, so if you met anyone famous, we want to know. And what other buildings and institutions would you like to remember on our in memoriam for great institutions of Grounds being Cleathooks, we want to hear from you? Do you have a fondness from Scathabats? Do you miss the walkabout or Yates's? Do you miss Gullies as it was? I miss Gullies. I want to miss the main stand, but it still stands. The half of that simply has a combination because you go out to Gullies the night before. Then the next day, sort your hand over out with a bit of a swim and a sauna. Let's go have a bath. That was absolutely perfection weekend. Great job. And these tips from the 90s from Hannah on how to survive a how to survive a hangover. I was getting a shoulder hangover. Surely Hannah was getting it from over the night. That's our best. That is Abbie's wine bar closed recently. And the rest of the night. I think it's a good thing to have a good time. guys is this the longest intro to it's 31 minutes we've long got long got long shot why do we need to talk about let's try to crickmaster now okay Christie Pem is shit discuss but the mic on the mic versus Sam on this one no hang on we need to go to Sam Sam is the goalkeeping expert Sam what's in the maker Christie Pem is it all his fault obviously everything is his fault and he is the reason that everything's going wrong at the moment and it's the red to fault for the weather in all seriousness and so that I've quite sort of balanced view on this one even these days was Christie Pem the reason we lost on Saturday no is he at fault as to goals is he maybe at fault the third one probably but is it would lost the game anyway by that stage but is he is he is that as people some people say he is no chance but I will get promotion with him in the side the answer that is also now so I think the sort of the hate campaign and even the I'm sitting there thinking bloody hell this is a bit extreme and it's as Mike said on Mike Mike said the other Mike said it's in the same thing it's basically there's a narrative is built within and he needs to leave the football club for his own good and we need a better goalkeeper we need a better goalkeeper but I think he's good to do so I'm just saying we need a better goalkeeper we need a better goalkeeper we're not going anywhere you aren't going anywhere look at our starts our season transformed when we got Jaco in next versus 10 last season just massive went way better it's I don't know why the sort of it's somewhat dismissed because like I think a top goalkeeper well relatively any level is probably the most important decision Mike care to respond to Sam's outlandish statement that Christy Pym is at fault for everything right at some point on Saturday I thought he was I mean everything's quiet that we need to sort of something this week because we can't go into saturday with Christy Pym in goal because for but his for his well firm all the than anything else and this is just getting a bit ridiculous now I mean there was two goals that was scored by blackpool I don't think either were his fault the first goal is three defensive areas and it's a good low shot low down as a question about Mark about whether he's whether he's been cited and the second goal that's a ball we play every single game for you and Sweeney's decided to look around with it and not play a simple ball to make Janet and then that's instantly Pym's fault so I think I tell quite right there is with some there's a narrative around him that's never going to change you could play like Gordon Banks he's never going to win some round need to cut a losses and I think at this point it's actually quite quite cruel to put him in that environment now because everything he does on the pitch will be overanalyzed who is an hours around the place and I think we just need to put a losses as quickly as we can doesn't help the car rights got injured but I think he needs to play awesome if you don't do anything this way you need to play awesome get him out of that one thing I think Hannah all but Hannah all agree with me yeah there was well there were a few kind of moans I certainly don't think in the ground there was a kind of lot of issues with Pym being in goal I don't I think there was maybe if you kind of groans and moans here and then but he certainly wasn't getting kind of a pelters from the home support I don't think you know there's difference between kind of a minority online and actual kind of supporters that were at the game so I'll defend I'll defend the support in that case and I don't think kind of you know and I get you can certainly kind of feel a bit of attention when the ball was coming near him perhaps but certainly wasn't it wasn't nasty always you know that it wasn't hateful I know I'm wrong in that or no I think it felt more like people felt sorry for him which isn't great in itself and but I will caveat that with I was sat in the upper with the only not by regular scene from tunes so who knows what they thought but only there was there was one mile man right at the end and that's all I heard early and yeah I agree with he's not the best keeper and it's best for everyone that he moves on I don't agree with some discussing the narrative that's been built without saying that he was part of building that narrative and so I'm going to push back against that I started off by saying he was an improvement and then I said I said he became embarrassing swans at the end of the end of the time he was there he can even get the tape to be like to say it's to treat us I was in favor in the one stage yeah I think he's he's got a he's not been good enough I think I think it's overblown how bad he was I think I went back in the summer and watched the goals he conceded and I think there was four that you could put a question mark three of them a big question mark one of them was a bit 50 50 but if you go by the by what said about it you think he was letting goals left right and centre and as we discuss before that power game there's no conversation about Christie Bim in fact and I didn't do it to point somehow I did it to really just demonstrate that that our minds do change we were praising him me and young he was saying it praise him about how good he was and his distribution and stuff and then he had four bad games and got injured so as bad as he's been in those I think the fact he got injured and somebody came and replaced him was really good has made it worse and I don't think he's from his perspective yeah no I think in everybody's minds because the last thing we remember is four really bad games and that was nearly a year ago and that's all you remember yeah we don't know whether or not Pim would have recovered from that do we because he got he got he got replaced and and they might they might have been a good chance that Pim Pim recovered from that and it would forgotten about towards the end of the season I think it's an easy narrative to go oh well drop him Pim and bring in Jackson Smith in once the answer did it help probably a lot but we until you until you know the situation at hand you can't fully answer that question I think Maldini and Cook also had a saying that and I also think Tauri coming of age had a saying that and a slight different change of how he played and Jackson Smith I think they all did it wasn't as simple as we've got in a Pim we're now a really good team we're a good team before it before that our problem was not sticking the back of the net that's what we were talking about then is taking chances that's what the problem was that's that that was half of it half it was all that there's half of it was not taking any chances and the other half of it was we we we we we we can see something like nine goals from 11 shots on target or something dapft that that that it was it wasn't just a set it was even making no anyway said to believe the face I was about 10 I'm not going to go on over so my big thing was how he responded really I think that was my problem and we I personally I think he's come back overweight which is you know you know ironic and hypocritical of me to say but I'm not a professional sportsman but I think he's come back overweight I don't think he was very good youngy I mean you were there as well Cleathop's town is the only other game I've seen about this season and against a semi-professional team I thought it was pretty flappy and also the only real time that I said you come back after four games in injury get your head down and get on with it all I saw him doing was flogging insurance and that's that's the bigger thing for me footballers are allowed to make money elsewhere but that's all I really saw of him when you know I was expecting him to get back on it that being said I don't think it I think it'd be responsible to put seppleton in on the first game of the season in the league I think he's our number one goalkeeper if he's here on if he's here and the fact that we haven't taken him off the transfer list suggests that the club aren't particularly happy with him and I think you know the club the club clearly put all their eggs in one basket when they want to sign Jackson Smith there's obviously rumors of this guy from Arsenal there's a rumor of another guy but it is the Cubs Cubs Fault and Cubs
problem that we're in this particular position and it's up to them to sort it and sort it quickly because I do agree it's not the best for us. We're looking at a keeper here that's probably a half decent mid-table keeper. We're looking to win the league, not make up the numbers and you need some, you know, he's a professional sportsman, if he's confident, shot then get over it and get on with it and if you think the fans are against you then you know you have four games when you're putting in James B. Cue and I performances in terms of 9 out of 10s and people quickly forget but I think you know I think everybody you know not too high, not too low let's see how he goes but unless we don't I don't see us bringing anyone in with four now and the start they get to start the season that's my thoughts on it anyway. There is a rumor that there is somebody coming in Max Thompson. Yeah Max Thompson that seems to be the tour doesn't it? Well it was quite interesting to see us on with James Hogan and he said quite blackly on the radio that they've been told there's nothing in it which I don't understand because there's a lot of noise isn't there. Whether he was here and he's been training or gone out I don't know but there was definitely there was definitely something in it for that amount of noise. Well he was at Cheapside wasn't that was a tour wasn't it? He was at Cheapside last week but I mean is it another issue I mean me and Mike were talking on Saturday and and I get Mike's points if they're all serious injuries but there's a bit a bit of a concern that like now Catwrights have free quite serious injuries for a keeper that's so young. The goalkeepers don't tend to get big injuries and yeah it's a steep crowd than he's pushing forward. Yeah yeah yeah it's true. I think you know what is it? I did check that youngy I think how's wrong the information I can get online they're all thigh injuries. Yeah that's that's a big one. I thought there was a cup of impacts in there but no it seems from online they're all thigh injuries so that has to be probably. Sadly I thought we played really really well we're going into the season on Saturday you're looking around the squad and think all we need to do if you've fed it you know we're good once we level in but where's that depth that we had at the end of the season. So that that's a worrying thing we've got some bits to do still. Yeah the Saturday's a strange game in sick because I think first half take away take away their goal we bust that bust that first half really and the Vernon Casdett sit in front of the pontoon and all he's got to do is go to end on it it makes it one one I think it's a completely different game then but the second half we didn't really get out of straight off the bat and allowed them away it was a stupid goal to concede it was too nil and it's a bit of a mountain to climb from there but I don't yeah saddest range gates one end games that could have gone either way if you know we say just to take a couple of them chances a bit like our season we were talking about and we'd probably go and win that game maybe three one three two something like that so it's a bit it was a bit of a not odd game it wasn't necessarily a bad performance but it was affected by poor individual decision making. Is that the problem though we're playing out from the black it back is it always going to those goals are always going to look a bit poorer than you know yeah they always look bad don't they but they say now I watch the watch back some of the glee cup highlights it happened in about four or five games it's it it still happens across the lead because especially early on in the season when teams haven't mastered it yet. It's a really it's a it's going to be really you know I quite like our start in 11 I think it's quite good I do think I think me and Mike had this conversation when I was driving back you know you've got what we probably need two wingers we need two left wingers apparently a person in the middle of the park I'd quite like the rumor about Harry Clifton coming back but I don't know whether there's any rumour to it any truth to it and then you know probably another I still think we're a pretty light upfront. Yeah I mean the the thing about Shastay is they're playing out from the back thing I know people getting their bonnet about it but that's a big part of what we do so you can't take a big part of what we do and say don't do that and then still have the same product at the end it's just it's just one of these things if we'd played an easy pass with it being that Al and quite nice bit of build up play but but Shastay I thought we're really good attacking wise the problem I I had is it's such a green and walker thing again especially against a good team in league one they absolutely tours apart in transition there was massive times I mean Hannah was probably saw it more from her view but there's massive times with so much space in the middle of the park and they were just running at us and that concerned me I don't think we can do that too often which I think shows you why we need something in the middle because it doesn't want to play you it's y'all say it's oil I do want to play him because it's his first first sort of men's teams he can't rely on him being a star just yet and that's the only other options we've got in there yeah I thought and I said this youngy I think either black did a real good job or green was just off it but he he didn't seem his noticeable self on Saturday and walkers much his other than door him he can't masterful game I mean he had two incredible chances and that were saved or I think both were saved but yeah he just he can't see a game out sadly yeah we do need there I say someone like very quick then oh no not sure I've heard of that one there you see I might have I'm missing something here are we in the know about something and I don't know no no you know obviously did last time you've just listened to me do you chat and did he yummy no clearly don't listen back to his own podcast that's fine can we can we can we get excited about you Morgan though my words like me and me and Hannah were swooning what way that's what he made every time you got on the ball off my word Hannah you go and you let go of it I really snow Jamie Walker but oh my god on the ball off the ball wherever he was all eyes were on him he was excellent his movement the way he got around the pitch the positions I mean we've only watched him for a few minutes but it was a very promising few minutes do you think they'll start him on Saturday they better do they better do it didn't have the way where where else can you play is it just up front or can you play us where he played in the position which was so slow which kind of like you know he's got it in him to go faster so when Morgan came on and suddenly spiked it up a bit it was very exciting Perustin Pyöräilyvattteita Valmistavan Ornottin vuonna 2013 Mielestäni parasta Shopify saan se että voime harjoittaa liiketoimintaa ilman teknista osaamista voime hallinoida yrityksen taustajaristeel mien ja frontendia sekä myyden verkossa vaivatta jo Shopify olisi pyöräilyvaruste sollisi mielestäni itse polku pyörä sillä asiat hoidetaan ja meida liiketoiminta me hoituu Shopify saaloita ilmainen kokeilu Shopify piste kom sivustolla nothing but I'm young you what did you think of him he just looked yeah what hanners had really he just looks an instant get you get your butt off your seats kind of player he he he he he was constantly on the front foot one in the ball taking people on look strong on the ball as well he was just exciting as soon as I think everyone around us I think as soon as he had his first touch even he took out two defenders and you're like oh okay this this lad's got something here he reminded me of mackathey actually like a bit of swagger about him and clearly got a lot of self-confidence yeah he's very exciting and like did he play it on the right wing he looks apparently can play all across the forward line so on the wings and through the middle but now I think definitely a player gets excited about just about a sort of slight note of course we've seen for 15 20 minutes in a it's the importance not to love too much expectation on a young and a little young like with not more I have seen football behind me I have been told all the way through my adult life Sam that 15 minutes is a long time do you do realize this is the whole thing about being a football fan Sam you can get carried away off of whatever when Sam do you not feel vilified right now you know people get you if you can go over the top either way and when you go over the top the way you want to people criticize you for throwing goalkeepers on an ever-largaining pile of fire but people are getting excited about a strike it do you do you feel vilified for that? vilifies the wrong word vilifies the wrong word but I just think it's more just I sort of take often to take the what's they called the contrary view so you have to kind of accept you might get nailed occasionally he is right I just don't like the fact is right I don't he's right but I don't like the fact is right but I think it's a great idea you know he's come with a bit of a thing Shrewsbury fan seemed devastated that they didn't get him they looked like they tried to put in a lot of time an effort over the sums to try and get him on loan they were really surprised that we got him permanently so yeah I you know it looks great and it's exactly the model we've got I'm I'm disappointed, Gabriel.
went after a season quite frankly, you know, as long as we've avoided, and I don't think we have avoided the $1 million, you know, Dr. Reveal quote, you know, that's all we ever asked for. I would, I would like to think we got a little bit more, but you know, we will never find out really. But it looks like we've invested it in the right way. We just need to invest it in a few more. And it is time for us to be a little bit patient, I think. Obviously, we can't keep reiterating it enough. The club have gone through some devastating stuff. If anyone hasn't taken a minute to listen to that, David, I'll tell into you with James Hogarth, please do take a minute to listen to it, because it's worth listening to how he's struggled with the death of Alex Hughes. And that is a massive part of his, you know, his team, especially that, you know, and when else do you need your senior member of recruitment, then at the beginning, you know, in the middle of the, in the middle of the office season. So we might have missed or we might be missing a step because of it. So I think fans just need to be a little bit patient. And that might be the same with Pim, you know, we might all be a little bit nervous, but we're supporters for a reason until he gives us a reason this season to mistrust him. I think we've just got to give everyone our fall back in because that's the only way we're going to get out of division four. And maybe that's too happy, happy for me. Q watching this in some Michael replay this to me in three months time when I'm going, he's shit, he's fucking throwing this league away because of it absolutely fat, insurance salesmen from the Midlands, that's all he is, etc. Three months, it could be Sunday evening, man, when we'd lost our access. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you know, you don't live that little about town sat in Alex. Um, sat for me. I was, I was programmed to say Sam, wasn't it? Um, I would say that the interesting, well, the good thing is, you've brought in a lab that's 20 years old, so six years younger than Kabil, you've paid some money. He's obviously wanted by a lot of teams and you've given him a three year deal. Now, just we always have to remind ourselves, just contrast that with where we used to be. So, I just, this recruitment process implicitly now, I brought in Dall from Ireland, he was also wanted by other teams. So I think just let those, those couple bed in, the nice thing is we do have a strong 11. We just need a little bit of experience added to that. So we're not relying on these lads to come in and hit the ground running because I said to you earlier Alex, we did that with Kabil, when there was absolutely nobody else that could do the job and he suffered from that run of games around where we were, weren't winning the fact we was plugging him to death. So, um, a bit of patience to have a little bit of support around them so they can, they can grow themselves and you're not asking Doyle to play 50 games a season in his first season in there in, in, in, um, adult football. At full time. Football. Yeah. And we, I think we're all there on Saturday, aren't we? I think we've got a full, full pod. Yeah. Oh, Hannah's shaking already. You're not there Saturday. She's in the Pete district. No, I'm counting. Yeah, I've got to sit before the six just came out. He put on camping. They just turned the toe. Yo, no, no, my friends. Unbelievable. And I, it was pretty good to go in on two. We were born in the wrong one. There we go. But X still offer a challenge where they people aren't expecting them to do very well this season from what I've seen. Which means their bases. Well, the, the, the, it's got very similar vibes to Crawley last season. Team that have come down. Um, they only won one in their last 20, 20 league games last season. So they've got relegated, you know, on a bad run of momentum. I don't know how to get the playing tonight. It gets plenty of that. And I was quick look at how we're getting. How are we getting on? There's some off field. I was, I'm now an extra fan in the small field. There's not feel issues there as well in terms like budgetary cuts or something like that. So, tuba, let me know. I don't know. I did explain it to me, but I didn't quite understand it. It was about 10 outside the pub. So, um, forgive me, the details were really little. Hey, is it? But, um, yeah, they're, um, they're not a very happy bunch apparently. Um, and it's been going, going, going for, for a while, but as I said, that's, that doesn't mean that that makes me more than this after 20 years of supporting Greenfield Town. Um, so who has the, who has the, the predictions around because we should really collate them. So, Gab Sutton, who has a, has a hard on for Artel. Um, he was five places. And you before, um, has us finishing first, which I'm happy to take. I'm more than welcomed, more than willing to take first. Um, where else is everybody else put us? Not, you know, not 20.24, 24.24, two and when Saturday come and stuff like that, putting us. I saw another one. I saw one. I can't know what better second or third. A lot of people have tipped us to go up like, and even you see like fans on Twitter doing it and so on. 92.5 has us finishing fourth. So, that looks like depression. Yeah, not the top 20 as might with saying they've got as a third. Fourth. And we lose a chest to feel the playoff or something. George McEckeren, score and, I scored against, he scored against, he scored against, he scored against, he scored the other day. So, that's all right. Would you forgive him now? We'd leave to Port Vale and Jackson Smith to save the penalty to get right to two, um, to vote them. I, I think it's always important the last couple of weeks of a transfer window, but I think it's doubly important this time. It is so crucial that it's an end. Because I think our season hinges on if we get the right players into back this 11 or in other seasons, you've got most of your work done and maybe one or two you're adding, but I think I think we're, it's really important now. If we want to take that next step, it has to be that this window has to improve us in the next three weeks. Can't wait till January. We saw last year with the best team in the, in the league from, from January, still got playoffs. We have to hit the, we have to have a team ready to be, we got to away with it last year, you know what I mean by that. But in terms of because we made three fantastic January signings and it sort of fails and you can't rely on that again. Um, so the Northampton Chronicle here are the predictions. Northampton Chronicle has us finishing third. Bet Fairhazers finishing seventh. Um, who else has four four four four two have us as fifth. Four four four two have us as fifth. Sam's favourite paper, the telegraph. It'll be wrong. Has us finishing, um, well, it says here that the league won't finish. They'll be overrun by immigrants, but um, it'll also be done. It'll have us finishing quite high off because it's a reform voting area in the telegraph like that sporting life, whatever the hell that is has us finishing. I don't know. It doesn't give me a list. It just gives a water. What else have we got? The York Post. Oh go on. Oh yeah, that's a fact. Do the facts there. Is it? Oh, I've got the dude at backwards. Uh, fuck say. Oh, and it's different pages. Hang on, Lance. This is going to take a while. It's not backwards. It's, it's the right way around. They have, they have York City finishing 20th by the way. Well, they are a bit of a shambles aren't like despite coming off a record. That's a street in your, that is, that is incredible by the way. That's, Scott Lindsay. Look, Scott Lindsay, you know, how's the promotion vibes going? You're well, currently, I'll manage just go and look when my wife died and I nursed her to death. I didn't feel pressure then and I don't feel pressure now. And this is the start of the season where we're all meant to be optimistic and that's what you're managing coming out with. What's to Yorkshire Post done then? Yeah, I'm just getting there, mate. It's on all different pages. It's on the fifth. May I have us finishing fifth with 77 points. So basically no one has us finishing below seven through the of all the predictions, which is, which is worrying. That concerns me greatly as a townspear. What it means is we should be competitive, but the predictions being nothing. That's a really, and especially lower down the league. The lower down the leagues, it comes, it becomes a bit more of a guessing game, don't it? But it's, yeah, I am more interested in what Gavin and people like not top 20 say because they do watching off a lot and know the players we bring in. I think I've sort of had us finishing quite low down in that first season. I tell was here and we were all saying, oh, we've brought, look, we've brought, he's some in, we've brought these people in and he's like, no, I'm not too sure. And then he said we'd be competing last year and lots of people laughed at him. So yeah, these sorts of people, they're not the top 20 guys, they do watching off a lot. So I'm more interested in what they say than the telegraph. I'm pretty sure Gavin's sort of finishing six or seven in that first season after we signed, he has the resigned chasen, Harvey Rogers, then so on. 47, the table. I thought he was like very, very, very, very wrong. I'm looking up afterwards. I might be wrong. There's a better name than chance that I'll be wrong. But anyway, then if I mean, I'm not here to recommend all the podcasts by will, but not I think if you're a lowly and we will never know, never know, not until 20, he's a good podcast. I will recommend it. Three fish, three fish. Now you've got to go. Maybe the top level. No drinking games. New drinking game for town fans. You have to take a shot every time Dave Dixon's tweets out a the Kabbie highlight reel. That lad has got that going, hasn't he? How many times have I seen that on social media recently? Every time
time you see you have to do a shot. There's us we bought sweet out of 15 minutes before the show go yeah we're doing a podcast tonight if anyone's interested. Maybe Alex doesn't have power. Everybody left when we started talking about the game. They were all interested in the kind in the sort of in the my my favorite though in the highlight of preseason is Hannah getting so annoyed at me when we're doing the we're doing the the kit launch and David Dixon is there interviewing everyone who's got a town top on and and then Hannah goes and grabs Cameron McJanet and we just talked to him about his wife working at the school and it's so much so that at one point Cameron McJanet goes do you want to do an interview then? It's like nah I saw a right. Honestly a half an hour conversation about Kate's death. It was horrendous and I feel ashamed as someone who worked in marketing. We said the two professional networkers and no network was good. I had it online. Even I just fuck myself. Food were good by the way we'd like to point out this is not a dig at David Dixon. This is a dig at the state of all. I'll buy it. The M35 towers was like a scene from Star Trek when Scotties get in the engine room blown up before we came on. It's like we don't have the power. We can't get on. No it was more like Spaceballs. Spaceball like Dave had his little corner set up and he's got everyone with a little clippy mic and I've got a clippy mic as well that we bought like four years ago. I'm not sure if it works like Hannah put this on does it sound alright? Well the good news is I also spoke to Kbia and he's said whether he say go he'll happily come on so that door is still open if you want Kbia on he's up for it. Ask anyone he's not going to be the time player now so what late night? Yeah that's it. I have a word. Exactly. I have come up with a little game if you want to play it. Oh hang on there let me do the I haven't done this for ages we need some music. It's really cool. Can anybody explain why I've got bin pepper written on a piece of paper? I have no idea. He signed to somebody. I've just checked this up and it just says bin pepper. I can tell you now bin pepper is not an answer in this game. I can confidently tell you that because do you want to reason why that bin pepper is not an answer in this game because this is about goal scorers and eating score. F*** all are you worried? So we're my fantasy Premier League team though we're John McAtee and Sereka Denbele. Yes. Conor Townsend get him in. The most town players for get Dean Anderson in goal. The four fuller town players on it. I'm going to have to write a list. You can if you want. No get on with it Mike stop cheating. So since the 08 09 season there have been 20 players at my count that have scored on debut for Grimsby. Why I would like to know is who are them 20 players will go from top to bottom starting with Mike. I am absolutely. Gavin Hollahan was a Chesterfield. So I was David. Gavin Hollahan. I'm going to check that. I believe that was his second game. Maybe. Hold the mic. But I believe that was his second game.

But we do a news of kind of the core, a general kind of news for music round. Things have happened in the last few months. Picture round. The name, the year round, which I do like four clues or four questions related to a year. And then the fifth question is, what is that year? And then we do a wipe out round as well on the end where you can get extra points if you get more right where you could lose all your points from the round if you get to get one wrong. So. And then I do a little game of play accounts right at the end as well. - Oh, is that what we have in this two? - Is that what we have in this two? - But Bruce is dealing with Bruce's lawyers.

FAQs
Popmaster is a long-running musical quiz on Greatest Hits Radio, hosted by Ken Bruce. It's significant because one of the podcast hosts is returning to compete after losing seven years ago, aiming to win and bring glory to Grimsby.
They generally saw it as a positive, noting it helped shake off rust and brought in a good attendance of just under 5,000, providing a financial boost. Some felt it was a change from typical preseason games, though losing wasn't ideal.
The hosts guessed it was due to the World Cup, as the Premier League started a week later, making it a suitable competitive warm-up game.
Ernie Beckett, a local chip shop, was a beloved institution in Grimsby. Its closure is seen as a deep loss to the community, akin to losing a family member, and it's being remembered alongside other lost local landmarks.
A host recalled a celebration where a player, Bradley Wood, sang 'He's One of Our Own' about himself alone on the dance floor after a promotion, a memory that stands out as the club also announced its closure.
Trevor Kettle is a referee the hosts consider the worst in League 2. A host met him at an air show, where Kettle admitted his identity, joked about a past offside call, and mentioned his son, who also referees, had given Grimsby penalties last season.
