Ian Brown, Nick Lee and Jonathan Baker are with us today, and we’re also joined by Ed Chadwick for the first time, who’s taking the Co-op baton from Paul Thompson. A friendly hello to Ed, and a big thank you once again to Paul. thescarfmyfatherwore.substack.com/p/county-v-harrogate

I couldn’t find a Harrogate fan to speak to I’m afraid, but we have got one of our paid subscribers, Kelvin Briggs, joining us today to share his thoughts from the weekend. One point gained or two points dropped? Time will tell. The league table is still a fantastic sight, though. thescarfmyfatherwore.substack.com/p/county-1-harrogate-1

John Pearman, editor of the fanzine Red All Over The Land, joins us for a chat. thescarfmyfatherwore.substack.com/p/20-questions-liverpool

My missus works with Tony and always describes him as quite the wordsmith and I can see what she means now.

I hate to be that guy (I don't, I actually love it) but that's Kaiser Chiefs, not Arctic Monkeys.

In November 1900, County lost 5-1 on their first visit to Grimsby, during our debut season in the Football League. In fact, our first six trips to Blundell Park all ended in defeat. I turn 40 this year, and we’ve only won four times in Cleethorpes during my lifetime. More often than not, we’ve endured a miserable time over in that part of Lincolnshire. We’ve lost on Christmas Day, Good Friday, and twice on New Year’s Day. We got beat 3-2 in the FA Cup despite being 2-1 up with a minute to go. Carlton Palmer and Antoni Sarcevic have both been sent off there. And I don’t think any of the 68 County fans in the away end will ever truly get over that 7-0 defeat on a Tuesday night in our first season in the Conference. However, all of the above is pointless in terms of today’s build-up, because just like Doncaster a fortnight ago, I’m saying County are definitely bringing all three points home this afternoon. Ian Brown, Ed Chadwick and Jonathan Baker all agree with me, too! thescarfmyfatherwore.substack.com/p/grimsby-v-county

We’ll take a closer look at yesterday’s 3-1 victory in tomorrow’s edition of The Scarf My Father Wore, but for today, sit back and enjoy 42 photos from my trip to the seaside. I visited a big chippy, had my photo taken with Thomas the Tank Engine, and saw County win at Blundell Park for the first time since August 2012. A fun afternoon, indeed. thescarfmyfatherwore.substack.com/p/a-saturday-afternoon-in-cleethorpes

I’m actually envisaging a tight 0-0 or 1-1 tonight, but if you’re wanting more positivity, Jon Keighren, Ian Brown, Ed Chadwick and Andrew Barlow are all backing the Hatters to do the double over Crewe. Fingers crossed I’m completely wrong, and they’re completely right! thescarfmyfatherwore.substack.com/p/county-v-crewe
