Grimsby Town 0 Barnet 1

Up in the Carlsberg Stand (previously the John Smiths Stand and prior to that the elegantly named Findus Family Stand) you get unspoilt views of all the boats and tankers entering and leaving the Humber Estuary, unfortunately those same seats also face the pitch.

My 23rd game this season ... 'strewth I'm getting to be a real lightweight these days ... I'd give Barnet 3 out of ten for the all the effort they put into rolling around on the floor and feigning injury in attempt to waste as much time as possible, but that total includes two bonus points for their very small, but very vocal away support. That is to say they were low in number not diminutive in stature.

Grimsby I wouldn't give any mark out of ten at all. Watching the Mariners yesterday was like having teeth pulled.
