Fairhurst Gone

Ah right, missed that, thanks.

Looking a bit thin on the ground isn't it?

Fairhurst Gone

It's all gone a bit mental hasn't it? I can see the sense in letting a couple of players go to free up funds for new signings but with outgoings vs incomings currently a net decrease in playing staff and a couple more looking to go (apparently) where's it all going to end? Is Hurst coming back from ...

Torquay United v FGR (Boxing day/Jan 1ST) double header match day thread

There was no point playing long balls in the second half as the wind just took them out of play. Anything the strikers couldn't control was long gone before they had a chance to run onto it. The conditions made it quite a strange match and once we went ahead we did a very good job of turning it int...

Torquay United v FGR (Boxing day/Jan 1ST) double header match day thread

cracking game yesterday. I went along as a neutral (well kind of - I support Grimsby but I live down here so get to Plainmoor when I can) and this was the best game I've seen this season by a mile. Courtney Richards played the game that he should be playing every match and if he can keep fit and kee...

Periscope

After hearing about a few lads being warned not to video/periscope at Grimsby's FA cup replay with Shrewsbury and that someone got ejected, I tried to find out what the deal was with it. Have a read - http://wp.me/p6WiRp-ak I reckon it's great and doesn't really adversely affect the club or competit...

Kids for Free. The Economic Argument

The gate for the Lincoln City match was from memory 1,762. Kids got in free with a paying adult. On Saturday the gate was 1,512 a drop of 250 (14%). So my question for the Board is very simple. Does it make economic sense for Kids to get in Free at every home game if we attract a higher gate by mar...

Hargreaves....Hindsight

I think he would have come good. We can all see his hands were not just tied, but were also behind his back or possibly severed altogether. Metaphorically speaking. I think he would have come good as a manager. It wouldn't have been pretty for a season or two but then, we're hardly pretty now eithe...

will there be a next season?

Grimsby have been in the wilderness for far too long, but I don't think they have been lower than the Conference/National Premier, have they? Like 6667Gull, I have supported this club through thick and (mostly) thin for over 50 seasons. If we are relegated to National South, I shall say "Sorry...

will there be a next season?

a few weeks back in the thread for the orquay v. Lincoln game I posted this: "I wrote a thing for my teams fanzine a couple of weeks ago about knowing when to let go of your club in it's current form when it's being run into the ground and in financial strife. Was referring to Northampton and o...

would have been a good manager given time. He still will be but it's all about circumstance isn't it?

He'll be back in management soon, maybe at Yeovil and he'll do okay

Torquay United v Wrexham- (NOW Dec 5th)

Cox was a w----- and his name is just not worth mentioning as he knew the score when he took over and bluffed his way into the job somewhere along the line he thought things were going to change and they did not so he got out. He helped put us in this mess along with previous managers and the previ...
