Creepy 1-1 Shrimps

Broadfield Stadium, Leg 2, Saturday 16 Nov, 3pm. We resumed a 3-5-2 with OSullivan and Tutte missing out as Alex K and Sutton came in. The game was only a few minutes old when Wildig curled an effort just wide with the outside of his right boot. Stockton was released and as is now becoming […]

Shrimps 3-1 Carlisle Eh
- On November 17, 2019

Leasing Cup, Tuesday 12 Nov, Globe Arena. So we are out of the Leasing Cup, and so are Carlisle, so this dead rubber saw us field a strong side and the Cumbrians make changes. They started well, Branthwaite, a leggy centre back at 17 making an impression. Both sides tried to keep the ball down […]

Tangerines 4-1 Shrimps

FA Cup, Saturday Nov 9, Bloomfield Rd, 3pm. This was seen as a free hit for the Shrimps as we had nothing to lose, in the end it was a free hit for the Pool as they romped home with ease, similar to the Leasing cup 5-1 hammering to be fair. A healthy nearly 1000 […]

Shrimps 1-0 Orient

Saturday, 2 Nov, League 2, Globe Arena 3pm. Well, nobody saw that coming? Did they? Jim jumps ship for non league and we end up with Baz n Kev taking charge and masterminding an improbable win to finally see three points at home, hurrah. Our temporary management team dropped themselves from the team, though Baz […]

Uās 0-1 Shrimps
- On October 20, 2019
- In Commentary
The Shrimps travelled to deepest Essex to take on high flying Colchester with some decent performances but not many points. At last, they performed well and got what they deserved in a display many fans have said has been coming. In a first half, the away side took the game to the home team for […]

Shrimps 1-2 Bantams
- On October 17, 2019
- In Commentary
Saturday 12 October, Globe Arena, Lge 2, 3pm. The Bantams arrived with a wealth of experience, a hefty and vociferous following of over 1700 and some points to get. The Shrimps looked to halt a dismal run of defeats sprinkled with the odd draw here and there to claw back some points on the ever […]

Shrimps 2-2 Cobblers
- On October 5, 2019

Saturday 28 Sept, Globe Lg 2, 3pm. After being absent without leave for Oldham, (me, not the team, thought that could also be the case from what has been said!!), we return home to desperately improve on three abysmal, numb performances which have allowed teams around us to steal a march and either forge ahead […]

Shrimps 0-1 Walsall
- On October 4, 2019
- In Commentary
Tuesday 17 Sept, Globe, Leg 2, 7.45pm. Our first ever meeting in any competition with Walsall, the Saddlers in as a precarious position as ourselves, another side like Scunthorpe, who have-not yet grown accustomed to the unusual rigours of League 2. Whilst we were still licking our wounds after the mauling at Glanford Park, The […]

Scunthorpe U 3-0 Shrimps
- On October 4, 2019
- In Commentary
Saturday 14 Sept 2019, League 2 3pm Glanford Park. So we arrived just above The Irons with some patchy draws and a win but Scunthorpe hadn’t had a win in 16 games trailing all the way back to last season and their relegation. We started brightly, with some neat football, a powder puff effort from […]

Tangerines 5-1 Shrimps
- On September 4, 2019
- In Commentary
Tuesday 3 Sept 2019. 7.30pm, Leasing Cup, Bloomfield Rd. In a much changed Shrimps side, another heavy defeat ensued, though the open and attractive game score doesn’t tell the whole story. Blackpool made 9 changes to their side, Jim changed 6, despite this the flowing game of attack and defence which we witnessed was, apart […]
