1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 THE GRIMSBY GAME
Us Brits we like a bargain or better still for free,
Wev`e finally filled the Reebok on a five pound ticket spree,
Its nice to see the stadium with a bum on every seat,
But most of them are children being given a family treat.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 New supporters are our future lets hope they like the game,
It wont be Fifa soccer and to some it aint the same,
Its nice to give them all a chance to see it all for real,
And most of them will like it but to some it wont appeal.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 It boosts the sales in programmes and also pies and beer,
But to some who`s never been before these products may be dear,
They`ll double sales in coffee,bovrill crisps and tea,
But you`ll have to queue up twice as long for your regular half time pee.

Notes

This was wrote before the Bolton V Grimsby game 20th February 01
as all tickets for this game were priced at five pounds hence a gate of 24,200 the largest attendance at the reebok since the premier days.
