Last minute equaliser.

Danny Rose has had a bit of stick from some quarters recently but I don’t see anyone else in the squad scoring the last goals he’s had.

I spotted this on the way out of Blundell Park on Saturday, feels appropriate to have this near a football ground

Grimsby Town 1-1 Chesterfield

I don’t like criticising refs but it was difficult to stick to that today.

Mighty doesn’t look too happy with the last couple of results. Trust process. Trust the process.

Grimsby Town 3-0 Port Vale

Great atmosphere at BP today from the start. I took a day trip to the Main Stand today, you could hear it from all 4 sides of the ground. Still trying to keep a lid on my expectations for this season though!

Back to winning ways at Blundell Park, fully deserved too.

Beaten by a better side but the progress is clear to see.

Warmly dressed and deep in conversation at Blundell Park.

I’m a big believer it’s the photographer not the gear that makes the photo but it’s interesting how a different camera or lens can change your approach & give you something quite different.

Grimsby Town 5 (FIVE) Accrington Stanley 2

My camera is still broken so I took my old DSLR tonight. I wasn’t expecting much but it turned out rather well. Much like the game.

Matchday for most teams today. We decided to sack the FA Cup early this year to give ourselves a break.

#floodlightfriday at Blundell Park on a miserable November afternoon. The weather wasn’t great either.

No idea what this is called, a squeeze-the-water-out-of-the-pitch-inator maybe. Anyway, I liked how it looked.

This could be an expensive side project but when it works I love it…. two weeks until the next home game.

My usual camera is broken so I tried something new… I knew what I was trying to do but it didn’t quite work. Pretty much like the team on the pitch.

“We want to be able to come out of this season and say, ‘We really turned it around.’“
Sorry Southampton, it wasn’t to be.

And so, Southampton, 1st March 2023. Here’s a couple of images of us going through the wringer, waiting for the VAR decisions. The club owners had to pay £10k towards its use in this fixture, daft situation but money well spent! #gtfc

A cold February night on the east coast, perfect weather for a bit of FA Cup magic. A 3-0 win against high flying Luton in the 4th round replay brought new levels of disbelief, even the old moaner behind us managed to crack a smile! #gtfc

Thanks Danny for adding me to this fantastic list of photographers, if you’re one of the handful of my followers that didn’t find me from it, give it a shot. Loads of old favourites on there & great new talent to discover.

All part of the character at Kenilworth Road. Seats bolted onto the old terrace in the Oak Road End, walking through a row of terrace houses to get into the ground & drunk blokes nearly falling down the steps.

The 4th round brought a trip to Luton, a bit of a bucket list ground for me since I’d missed out in the National League. Full of character, an absolute dive, I loved it. Result 2-2 and we all know what happened next…
