Fishy:
What is the most eventful day you have ever had in the course of following the Mariners?

Most eventful day as a fan must have been the playoff final hugging total strangers at full time and my best mate's Harry the Haddock is seen on all the celebration photos cos we gave it to Aidan Davison as the players celebrated.

Best manager: Lawrie McMenemy or George Kerr according to my father.
