Haddock was back on the menu on Saturday as Grimsby beat the Cod Army from Fleetwood 2-1 to record their fourth straight win in the league. Chris and Steve are this week joined by a guest panellist in the form of esteemed writer, poet and musician Pete Green who helps the guys discuss the battling performance and two moments of quality from George McEachran and Denver Hume that proved the difference.
Inspired by Pete’s writing from his teens, Chris then asks about the origin story of Cod Almighty, their time editing the fanzine for over seventeen years and stand out memories from following The Mariners home and away through the 90's and 00's. Pete then very kindly reads one of their poems, ‘The Glimpse’ and introduces tonight’s interlude music, ‘The Ballad of Phil Jevons’... "How can I object to you if you score four times in an afternoon..."
In Part Two, Gloucester Live journalist Jon Palmer returns to help the guys preview Grimsby’s tricky looking trip to Cheltenham next weekend, another of the leagues in form teams.
Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Young, Pete Green and Jon Palmer
