Unbelievable

Quoted from MuddyWaters

That's as maybe, but as I have stated far too many times on here, I don't give a to$$ what happens to any other club than ours.

Neither do I but it was worth making the point that we still have a great chance of playing in the FL next year.

We've been told we have to be positive and seeing as i have nothing positive to say about PH, then i have chosen to keep my own council lately.

My thoughts are that play offs should come with a buzz of excitement, nervous anticipation and cautious optimism. The only thing i feel is dread.

I will be there Thursday backing the team all the way.

£30 on Dover each game, I'll be happy to lose my money.

Don't make me do it too...... 😒

Spot on. That nasty little dread devil is bashing away at the back of my mind as well Ginny. Just back the team and pray eh?

It's vital for the supporters to be behind the team from as soon as the game starts on Thursday or even as soon as the ground starts filling up. The strange thing is that this doubting the teams ability is nothing new at Grimsby. There was an article in the GET about when Tim Ward left Grimsby to join Derby in June 1962 just after we had gained promotion to Div 2. GTFC hadn't tied Ward down to a contract and he wanted more security but he was also quoted as saying " They are a good side ( GTFC ), despite unwarranted pessimism locally ". So obviously he had noticed disquiet in the fans even though we were a promotion winning team.

I feel him too, doesn't feel right but that doesn't mean definately won't end right so keep blind faith, cross every finger and toe possible and shout myself hoarse in hope collectively we can inspire.

This team can beat anyone on its day, but can't beat anyone on current form. Here's hoping for a few 'on' days!

Yep, that's my thoughts on the games.

Best time to be a Town fan in what, 10 years?
We cant lose. We win and were back in the league which imo could well be our easiest chance of getting there, ever. We lose and the management goes elsewhere.
Add in 2 potential trips to Wembley and I for one am really looking forward to the next 4 games

The unwarranted pessimism was really down to the club not signing players in the close season and the sale of Jimmy Fell the previous year. The pessimism was justified because the unstrengthened side struggled in Div 2 for 2 seasons before being relegated again. Another good manager Jimmy McGuigan stemmed the rot for a time and his team, including Matt Tees, Charlie Wright, Brian Hill & Rod Green that held West Ham to a draw we should have won, could have been promoted with more investment. He too left and we were on the slide to the bottom of Div 4 until McMenemy's arrival. Just 10 years after Ward's team was promoted to Div 2.

The point is that fans are not stupid. They could see what would happen and they voiced it. Fortunately for FA Would there was no Fishy in 1962 or he would have got the full blast.

Or we fail in the play off's and win the trophy and JF think that's success and keep everything the same.
