Were a complete disgrace this evening.  Barring a bit of noise at the beginning, it was flat as a pancake at the end, with people heading for the exits, getting on the team's back and making no-effort to support them.

I know there wasn't much to cheer about (there'll be other threads for critiquing the performance, so don't give me your excuses), but we're halfway through a tie, and had a spell of pressure that could have brought something.  To see the players carrying the ball towards the Pontoon in near silence while individuals shouted "Hurst Out" was shameful.

The only upside is that we've got no choice but to go all out attack in the second leg, and will have a much more supportive away following there.

I agree with your point, however I feel like the manager has alienated the crowd for a few seasons now, the style of football doesn't always get the crowd going, and the optimism often gets sapped by a soggy limp into the playoffs each season.

I think grimsby town fans as a whole offered the club a very optimistic fanbase the club could be proud of at the beginning of this season and the club, the management and the team havn't taken full advantage of that.

Can't disagree with any of that.  The atmosphere sounded sad and depressed more than anything.  I think the fans have just been ground down over the years and the season.

Bores me when people whinge about the crowd. We bring 5x the amount of fans home/away as other teams, that's enough support!

What a load of balderdash.
The team and the manager got the crowd reaction they deserved.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

jonnyboy, it wasn't blame, just an observation.  The crowd were useless.  Doesn't mean I don't think the players were even more useless.

Unless we get out of this one, it's going to need to be a change just to generate some excitement among the fans.

Bullshit! Fans deserve a medal for not repeating the Halifax atmosphere.
