QPR Preview
By: Richard Hubbert
Date: 06/11/2003
WELL, it soon comes round, another Saturday creeps upon us as the Mariners look to pot some much needed cash through a decent FA Cup run - something they haven’t had for a few years.

Their opponents, however, come in the shape of QPR who visited Blundell Park at the start of last month in the league and they literally stole all three points in the last kick of the game. Town should have had at least a point out of that game, when they dominated much of the second half, only for Rangers to snatch a last-ditch win. Town fans and players alike were gutted after that game and will be gunning for revenge, which should make a decent ingredient for a well-contested cup tie.

The one for the Town back four (or more specifically, Mr Barnard) to keep an eye on is ex Lincoln winger Gareth Ainsworth. One of the clubs leading scorers this season, Ainsworth has the potential to provide telling crosses and can let fly from any range. Amongst their ranks is striker Tony Thorpe (left), a regular scorer in this league with Luton and Bristol City - spent most of the league game with Town whinging to the referee! Praise must surely go out to Rangers centre back, Clarke Carlisle, whom a few months ago went on leave admitting he had an alcohol addiction. Now over his problem, he is now back in the first team, and even went live on BBC Radio Five Live last week to talk about his problem. Respect! Hopefully though, he can have an off day on Saturday.

| Now, on a more light hearted note, we sift and explore the world of football memorabilia. Every week we will be looking at every team Town meet and seeing what weird and wonderful things you can purchase on the web for your own pleasure... This week, we have a Unique Kevin Gallen Babygrow, available on Ebay at a starting price of £7.95! I mean, why should parents bother with Mothercare or BHS when they can fork out more money for a babygrow with the name of a player who failed to make the grade at Barnsley and Huddersfield on the back of it? Apparently, Town are bringing out an "Iffy Babygrow" for Xmas, and when the child puts it on, they grow into the size of Iffy Onoura. Scary!
