It wasn't just the Grimbsy fans, after a dreadful 12 months, just missing out in the play offs, then the past owner deciding he didn't want to play anymore. He sold off the best players at give away prices, without taking any advice from Ian Dowie, the club slid into adminstration and had to let Dowie go. He is doing a great job at Crystal Palace.
The 3 new American based, Uk born owners of the Latics decided that the first match of the official take over would be called "Celebration Sunday" when entry would be free for everyone at their expense. I thank Grimsby Town for their equally generous contribution.
The gate was 13,007 fantastic.
