Book Description
One fan's story of following a football team - in this case Millwall - come what way. A poor man's Fever Pitch? Maybe, but whereas Nick Hornby is content to watch a Championship decider on TV, Barrie Stradling would have walked to Liverpool and back to see Millwall play.
From the Publisher
Terrace Banter was launched in October, 1998, as a football imprint of S.T. Publishing. Over the past decade football as a spectator sport has changed beyond all recognition, particularly for the ordinary fan. A great deal of working class culture and tradition is being cast to one side so that football can appeal to a new market, that of the "soccer fan". Through Terrace Banter we hope to put down in print the experiences of the ordinary fan before they are lost forever in a sea of plastic seats and replica strips. Unless we document our own history, it is left to outsiders and the mass media to be judge and jury.
Tuesday Night In Grimsby - A Diary Of A Masochist is a book that perfectly captures the highs of lows of a true football supporter. While Nick Hornby captured the imaginations of the new breed of armchair fan, here's a book for those who know what it's like to stand in the rain, on a Tuesday night, watching your team draw 0-0 at some far flung outpost of this green and pleasant land.
