    When people hear about Radio Humberside or Humberside Police it just perpetuates the idea that Humberside still exists.

    Ffs, not this crap again.

    Humberside existed as a ceremonial county and continues to exist as a geographical region for administrative purposes.

    Sleep well- don't have nightmares.

    Quite. Always thought he smacks of total loser – so I suppose he’s proved me wrong to some degree.

    I enjoyed his double act with the former joint manager – the one who seemed unsuitably aggressive in every interview juxtaposed with his dour, unsuitably tepid equal.

    For rubber neckin’ reasons I occasionally look on The Fishy.

    Last week they had a poll on our promotion and shockingly circa 25% of them wanted us to go up with the bulk vote going to not bothered either way.

    Contradicts my experiences of their views on us.

    Perhaps, the new generation (who have firmly been under our yoke and have known no different) of their fans respect the new order.

    A good manager- bad manager double act,

    Didn't the nasty one get sacked for roughing up John Tondeur in an interview, and their chairman stepped in and sided with the journo?

    I don’t see Grimbarians as being northerners.

    Something like that.

    I've always imagined the nasally Tondeur as being under 5ft or wheelchair bound, so all in all it was a bit OTT.

    I wonder how many teams have got promoted, then immediately lost their manager?

    Notts County are after Paul Hurst.

    Probably to head up their 'man with a boring voice' department.

    My first away match was at Grimsby. We lost 3-0. Next Grimsby away match I went with a friend and his dad and they wanted to go on the half way line. Simpkin got booked at the Grimsby kick-off for flattening one of their forwards straight away. It was the 60s so you can imagine how bad it must have been to get booked within a couple of seconds of the start of the match.

    I think the Humber is where the North/South divide probably starts.

    I was hoping they would lose yesterday.

    I used to work in Barrow on Humber and tbh most of them hated Hullgully people.

    What a dreary noise their manager has.
    He makes Nigel Pearson sound exciting<cheers>

    They seem stuck in a 90s timewarp there. They still think inflatables are cutting edge fanwear. Wait until the jester hat arrives in GY!

    They still chant "Fish!" like it's pre Cod Wars. Breaking News: the fishing is finished, the Icelanders have most of it and the EU have only given us a few crumbs.
    Having said that, it's difficult to get a chant going about "Renewables!" or "We made your energy" to the 'We pay your benefits' tune.
