Dear County fans, Stopfordians, Grimsby supporters, and anyone else from The Football Family joining us today, a very warm welcome to your Sunday edition of The Scarf My Father Wore.
We’ll take a closer look at yesterday’s 3-1 victory in tomorrow’s edition of The Scarf My Father Wore, but for today, sit back and enjoy 42 photos from my trip to the seaside. I visited a big chippy, had my photo taken with Thomas the Tank Engine, and saw County win at Blundell Park for the first time since August 2012. A fun afternoon, indeed.
