S2 EP39 FOOTBALL v RUGBY [ 83 ]

**3 Fish on the Shirt – Episode Description** This week’s **3 Fish on the Shirt Podcast** is packed tighter than a Bromley long throw.
We break down a huge week for **Grimsby Town**, starting with the impressive **3–1 win away at Salford City**, followed by a bruising home draw against **Bromley**, an unapologetically long‑ball outfit whose style flirted more with rugby than football.
We celebrate the brilliant news of **Charles Vernam signing a new contract**, look at what it means for the squad, and why his commitment matters for the club’s long‑term identity.
There’s plenty to shout about off the pitch too. We proudly discuss our **sponsorship of the Grimsby Town Grassroots Initiative**, our feature in the **official matchday programme**, and our unforgettable **pre‑match dugout visit** for a photo that made us feel like part of the matchday machinery.
Across the EFL, we round up the week’s biggest stories, including **Karl Robinson’s fiery post‑Salford rant on YouTube**, which has quickly become essential viewing for anyone who loves a managerial meltdown. Expect folklore, fan culture, honest analysis, and the usual blend of humour and heart that makes 3 Fish on the Shirt the go‑to podcast for **Grimsby Town fans**, **League Two followers**, and anyone who loves the beautiful game—even when it’s played in the air.

Special Edition Podcast: Padraig “Podge” Amond
The Mariners Season That Became Legend In this unmissable special edition podcast, we sit down with Padraig “Podge” Amond for an extended, candid, and passionate conversation about the journey that shaped his remarkable career. Part One, an hour long deep dive takes us from his early days in Ireland all the way to the 2015–2016 National League Playoff Final, where he cemented his place in Grimsby Town folklore.
It’s still hard to believe Podge only spent one season with the Mariners—because what a season it was. His football intelligence, honesty, and love for the game shine through as he reflects on the moments, mentors, and matches that defined him. If you’re a Grimsby Town fan, this is essential listening.
What’s Inside This Episode
• The real story behind his iconic 2015–16 season and why it meant so much to him
• Playing under a pseudonym for Carlow so he could finish his hurling career in style
• The truth behind that crucial penalty at Braintree—what really happened in the buildup
• A behind the scenes look at promotion and what it meant to him, the squad, and the town
• Candid reflections on his career, his development, and why Grimsby remains such a defining chapter Podge speaks with the same passion he played with, open, thoughtful, and he uses his head (I'm sure he'll let Hursty know) it's full of brilliant stories that make this episode a must watch or must listen for anyone who loves football storytelling, or the Mariners.
If you’re not tuning into this… are you even a Mariners fan?

S2 EP35 GAS LIT [ 79 ]

Three Fish on the Shirt Podcast - GAS LIT
This week we dive into a dramatic double‑header as Grimsby Town face two very different challenges in League Two.
First up, we break down the Mariners’ gritty 2–2 draw at Blundell Park against a struggling Walsall side. On a heavy, rain‑soaked pitch that the ground staff somehow made playable, Town battled back from behind, took the lead after the Saddlers’ keeper saw red, and still somehow let the points slip with a late equaliser.
We get into the key moments, the turning points, and what this performance really tells us.
We then head to the Memorial Stadium to pick the "skull‑and‑cross" bones out of a tough defeat to Bristol Rovers.
The Pirates punished the Mariners, and we analyse exactly where the game got away, what went wrong, and what needs to change moving forward.
Alongside the Mariners’ match analysis, we take a full sweep across the midweek and weekend League Two results to see who’s flying, who’s fading, and which clubs are starting to shape their early‑season narrative into a dash for the finish line.
From surprise risers to teams in freefall, we break down the form table and highlight the stories every EFL fan should be watching. We also check in on Jordan Wright’s ongoing calamity‑ridden spell at Newport County — a run of form that reminds us just how fortunate Town were that he moved on to South Wales when he did. It’s a mix of gallows humour, honest appraisal, and a look at how his struggles are impacting the Exiles’ season.
Rossi takes some clog too, on his potential as a replacement for Jordan (LOL) ! To round things off, we cast an eye ahead to next week’s "3 FISH on the ROAD" special, as all three of us make the trip to Meadow Lane for a tricky clash with Notts County. We preview the challenge, the atmosphere, and what the Mariners need to do to get something from one of the toughest away days in the division.
If you’re looking for honest fan insight, proper GTFC chat, and a folklore‑infused breakdown of the week’s action, this episode has you covered.

S2 EP31 JANUARY? COMPLETED IT MATE! [ 75 ]

MARINERS UNBEATEN IN JANUARY
Town finish January unbeaten after a gritty, character‑packed pair of performances against Colchester United and MK Dons (Fake Wimbledon, Franchise FC, MK Plastics).
A hard‑earned 1–0 away win at Colchester set the tone, a heroic battling display full of discipline, organisation, and sheer determination. The Mariners dug in, defended their box superbly, and took their chance when it mattered to bring home all three points.
Back at Blundell Park, Grimsby 2–2 MK Dons delivered drama, frustration, and ultimately relief. After going 0–2 down to a physical MK side, and a referee who was far too easily conned. The Mariners showed huge spirit. Jaze Kabia stepped up with a brilliant second‑half brace, dragging Town level and keeping the unbeaten run alive.
This episode rounds up all the key moments, turning points, standout performers, and what this resilient January means for the rest of the season.
