Quick quiz question - is Blundell Park the closest football ground to the sea? If not, which one(s) is nearer? 
BTW I donāt know, just asking. I canāt think of any closer ones ā¦
Blundell park is the football ground closest to sea level
Hartlepool?
Wouldnāt class the Humber across the railway line as āthe seaā

The next three games are away from home, including Saturdayās FA Cup match at Southampton.
If we are really serious about getting out of this division, five years is long enough IMHO, we have to perform better on the road and start picking up points.
Going to places like Grimsby, Barrow and Accrington are part of the slog of this division. Windy, wet and poor playing surfaces are part of it and we need to adapt to those conditions.
Iām tired of MS constantly complaining about the pitch and/or the conditions, he needs to tell the lads to put their heads down and get on with it.
We need a result today. Iāll take anything as long as it has points attached to it.

We need to forget about the Wrexham result and get 3 points from Grimsby - that is how you get out of this division. I donāt want to be getting excuses in early about how tired etc we must be. They are professionals and should just get on with it. You get the same amount of points for a win whoever you beat. Grimsby played on Friday also and so will be as tired as we are. They won 3-0 at Salford and will have their own concerns about continuing after such a good result.
Beating Wrexham means nothing if you cant top it up with wins in the following games.
UP THE SADDLERS

It is. Just bought a pass.
Itās tricky because there are a few close to the mouths of rivers. Might need a geography person to let us know when a river becomes an estuary which in turn becomes the sea.
Evertonās new gaff is being built on an old dock which will have water on three of the four sides. Not sure whether that water is the river Mersey of the Irish Sea.

Evertonās ground is definitely within the straits of the River Mersey still. At that point the water is still a āchannelā between two patches of land so would count as that Iād say.
That may also help to define when an estuary becomes the sea, although my Geography degree days are many years ago!!

Well itās in Cleethorpes and thatās classed as a seaside town ā¦
will be surprised if we get a result today.
But Walsall have been doing alot of surprising me recently.
Iām happy with a scrappy point, if we can scrap out a win then dry January will have to wait another dayā¦
surely a point deserves a pint
