View From The Findus | A Grimsby Town Podcast

Grimsby made a return to the play-off places for the first time since November this week after another vital four points were gained against fellow promotion hopefuls Salford and Bromley. The panel start by dissecting the back to back home games, the clinical nature of our goals against The Amies and our endeavour against the league leaders.

In Part Two the guys are joined by Oldham disability liaison officer and freelance journalist Aaron Diskin who provides an depth insight on how the Latics have faired on their first season back in the football league after a 3 year hiatus and why next weekend’s visit to Boundary Park will be far from easy for The Mariners.+++Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Dave Laister, Charles Lumley and Aaron DiskinSubscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++
