The following is an interview of Fat Lad undertaken by The Fishy.

Fishy:
Who are you?

Fat Lad:
My name is George, my mates call me Fat Lad. I am a British Bulldog. I like to eat drink and sleep, bit like the players really,

Fishy:
When did you first start supporting the Mariners, and what was your first game?

Fat Lad:
A couple of seasons ago my owner, Evo, walked me past the ground for a reserves game. I thought I could sh*t good but they where playing like I had the runs.

Fishy:
Who is the best player you ever saw wearing a Grimsby Town shirt?

Fat Lad:
Has to be me, I chase every ball I see,and usually get it,hehehe.

Fishy:
If there is one game you were allowed to go back in time and watch what would it be and why?

Fat Lad:
It would be that reserves game I told you about, I would run on the pitch, squat in the middle and show em what real sh*t looked like.

Fishy:
What are your favourite and least favourite away grounds?

Fat Lad:
I don't go to away games you fool, how far do you think I can walk, like my owner I am too fat and lazy to walk too far.

Fishy:
What, in your opinion, are GTFC's best and worst seasons since you have been supporting them?

Fat Lad:
Best was Wembley season, Evo and Karen went to London with Nicko for the weekend, I had the run of the house and shat all over the place, I even p*ssed on Evo's pillow but don't tell him, he doesn't know,hehehe.
Worst was relegation season, never got any time to my self, Evo and Karen hardly ever went out, they was always crying and kicking me when the results came on the telly.

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

Fat Lad:
That has to be when Crighton crashed into Evo's car, I wasn't around then but it was dead funny when they talk about it, crotch whacked his car from behind, Ivano was in the back seat playing up merry hell, I couldn't understand a word he said, but because of his compo claim against Laws he was trying to get into the front seat so he could say he was thrown through the windscreen, dead funny that was, for the good of the club I would have sniffed his crotch in the usual place and then bit em,might have made him a bit more livelier,hehehe.

Fishy:
Who is the greatest ever GTFC manager?

Fat Lad:
Alan Buckley,he is the only one I know,and he is like a god to me and Evo and Karen.

Fishy:
How many games a season do you get to now, and what do you do while Town are playing games that you can't get to?

Fat Lad:
I don't get to many at all, but I sit at the bottom of the stairs when Karen and Evo are in the chat room on the fishy, I whimper a lot and they chuck me out, then I run up and down the garden waiting for the ball to come over, Oh if only it would, I never miss a ball you know.

Fishy:
Name your all-time starting eleven since you have been watching Town?

Fat Lad:
Rovermars, Scooby Doo, Collie-more, Peter Beaglery, Pedigree Chapman, Dan Pet-Rescue, Karol Pobarskey, Sneakers, Harry Kennel, Sergie Rebrover.
Oh and the cat in goal.

Fishy:
Do your children support the Mariners?

Fat Lad:
I don't have any, you see,when I said I never miss a ball I do really, I miss my two, I haven't got any (bit like Evo) they didn't drop in time so I had to have them took away, on the plus side, I can perform all night and I'm safe so if any you girlie dogs read this give me call.
