🎙️ HIGHS AND LOWS This week we are joined by Jon Campbell & RossiGTFC in Steve's (unapproved) holiday absence.

The episode delivers the full spectrum of football emotion: the high of the Carabao Cup win at Sheffield Wednesday to the sting of defeat to Barnet, and a powerful conversation about mental health in the game, and how we as fans can help each other.

Dean Gallagher from Brighton & Hove Samaritans joins us to share a new video produced by Brighton & Hove Albion FC and the local Samaritans — showing how football can help people speak up, seek support, and find hope during life’s toughest moments. It’s a moving look at how the beautiful game can break silence, build connection, and change lives. It's a must see, if just one person sees this and seeks help then it will have been worthwhile.

We are delighted to with the cheer brought to us this week by the launch of our partnership with Winner Winner Chicken Dinner as sponsor to the podcast, and welcome them into the 3 FISH story arc. More to come on them in the coming weeks. We thank them for their support and the work they do in the community.

🎙️ **HAIL THE LORD, CROWN THE KING!** What should’ve been the first “3 Fish on the Road” of the season got scuppered by a bout of shingles in the podcast camp—but thanks to the international break, Dave & Steve were still able to catch the action live, Sky+ style. In this episode, we dive into Town’s fairytale first half at MK Dons and celebrate a majestic away win led by none other than *King Charles Vernam*, who delivered two assists and a goal worthy of a coronation.

We also raise a glass to *Lord Jason Stockwood*, whose upcoming appointment adds a touch of nobility to the club’s rise. Expect honest chat about online fan abuse, the lingering media moans over the Carabao Cup registration saga, and a look ahead to Sheffield Wednesday away. It’s a feel-good, fan-fuelled episode packed with pride, passion, and a bit of royal razzmatazz.

🎙️ S2 Episode 8: “BAD HAIR DAY!" We’re still riding high from Wednesday night’s seismic win over Manchester United—and this week, we’ve got a special guest to help us savour it. Sky Sports Germany’s Uli Hebel joins the pod fresh off covering Town’s historic upset for a German audience. After tapping into our fan knowledge pre-match, Uli returns the favour with behind-the-scenes insight and a continental take on the Mariners’ magic.

But football’s a cruel mistress… and just two days later, David Artell’s valiant squad were brought back down to earth with a 0–1 defeat to Bristol Rovers. The Pirates snatched a goal and guarded it like buried treasure—ugly, effective, and very on-brand. Not much swashbuckling, unless you count the referee’s performance… Dave and Steve break down the highs, the lows, and the curious case of Neil Hair—who seemed determined to make himself the main character.

With over 7,000 fans packing out Blundell Park once again, there’s plenty to unpack, forgive, and celebrate. Hit play for chants, cheek, and a proper post-match debrief. You won’t want to miss this one.

🎙️ S2 Episode 7: “CARABAO CHAOS - MANCHESTER UTD REACTION!" In this seismic episode, Dave and Steve dive headfirst into the night Blundell Park became the centre of the football universe. Grimsby Town, 61 places below Manchester United in the pyramid, stunned the world with a 2-2 draw and a **12-11 penalty shootout win** that will echo through generations. From Charles Vernam’s laser-guided opener to Tyrell Warren’s poetic tap-in against his former club, the lads dissect every moment of magic, madness, and magnet-board mayhem. They unpack United’s unraveling—from Onana’s double blunder to Amorim’s touchline ghosting—and celebrate the Mariners’ fearless intensity, tactical grit, and community roar.

Expect:

- 🔥 Tactical breakdowns with a fan’s heart

- 🎭 Dramatic retellings of the penalty chaos -

🧃 Local lore, chants, and cheeky digs at United’s “manager’s dressing room” request

- 🧤 Christy Pym’s heroics

This isn’t just a cup upset—it’s a cultural reset. Legacy Episode 51 captures the spirit, the storm, and the sheer disbelief of a town that dared to dream. And Dave? He’s already designing the mural. “Grimsby 2, Manchester United 2. Penalties? 12-11. History? Written.” **UP THE MARINERS!! ⚓

David Artell took the reins in a season that flirted with disaster.
