Pre-Match Thread Grimsby Town v Southend United, Friday 19th November, 1945KO, NL (Live on BT Sport)

[Weston's left foot]

wonder if we will be wearing our yellow kit tonight?

 

[HertfordshireBlue]

I reckon when we are inevitably 3-0 down we just have a party in Grimsby instead

Good luck with that!

Grimsby: the name says it all, GRIM-sby

Left with few University options, Grimsby was one. My god, what a mistake that was.

If this has been mentioned before, then apologies. If you are not going to Grimsby, not going to a pub that has BT Sport and still want to watch the game live then it is possible to do if you are a NOW TV member. I've just bought a day pass from NOW for £9.99 to watch BT Sport which will give me access to the game.

If there are people with money wanting to invest in that god awful place then there's hope for us yet.

Interesting this:

“When you get older football changes.

“It’s not like it is when you’re younger when you just go out and play with a smile on your face'.

Apart from the missing comma, I wonder whether Mr H is referring to the likes of White and Demi, maybe even Dunne?

Two of the three carry a lot of baggage from the previous three seasons.
They got torn a new one against Woking, and it must be hard to take.

Dunne had an even worse 2020-21 season than Demi and White. We might have got relegated but we were at least competitive from November onwards.

According to soccerbase in the last 12 months Dunne has played 40 matches and lost 33 of them.

To put that in context in our Kevin Bond/Sol Campbell nightmare season we lost 28 out of 41. So that’s 5 more defeats than the most horrific season in our club history in one less game.

And that’s the guy Brown earmarked to help turn around a losing culture.

Not even a city.....

I won’t be too disappointed if we only lose by a single goal. If so it will be a step in the right direction, not expecting a massive improvement yet. But just a gutsy display will do for me. COYB

Having been there for three games and one postponement would have to agree with the article. Surely one of the bleakest towns in the uk? I struggle to think of any redeeming features. The hotel we stayed in last time I ventured up (when we failed to gain automatic promotion) was awful, as were the natives. Hope never to go back. And we never win there either!

 

[RHB]

I'm going for a cheeky 1-0 win for Southend snatching the winning goal in the last 5 minutes with a brave header from John White following a defensive masterclass from Southend.

You’re managing to access BT Sport on NOW TV? I pay monthly for Sky, but wasn’t aware they had the option for BT?

I did a Google search on how to watch BT Sport on Now TV and I could have bought a monthly or day pass. Presumably the option must be somewhere withing your Sky package? Anyone else on here have any knowledge.

I got 6-1 on a Southend win.

It looks like it might only be on offer if you're in Ireland, but not in the UK.

VPN might help with that one

 

[rararblue]

I expect to pick up a stream, here in Spain. Worked last BT game

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Lopaki lol is that even remotely close to his name

Thank you for the insight.

4 pages of "we are going to get spanked" and a few TV questions yet not a single team selection?
I hope KM and co have more ideas.

And I hope the players don't also have a " defeat is inevitable " mentality or we are sunk.

Ahhh right, I see what you mean but the Ireland problem comes up for me too.
Had to decide between paying for Sky or BT, extortionate to pay for both.
feeling I may swap over at some point
