As an alternative we could host North East Lincolnshire's first hobbyhorse showjumping championship during the game. That would make as much sense as supporting Harvey's B-team plan.

Someone's already suggested Bradley... it'll need floodlights, as it'll be a Tuesday night game.

I suppose we should ask whether anyone is interested in playing, if we can get this to go ahead.

This must be what it felt like to be in the Wellington Arms in 1878!

@JimGTFC " any inclusion of 'B teams' in the league, which has already been stated that it needs a huge vote in favour from the FL clubs which it clearly won't get"
Dont forget that money would make it happen if they really wanted to do it. Sadly , giving 100m+ to prem teams has got us to the place were at now...youngsters hoarded by the elite/rich then thay female dog because they cant play and finally end up at dover,guisley etc having never made a 1st team appearance

Wonder if we could get any other clubs set of fans to have a match with us, would be even bigger of a deal, call it the anti-league trophy

Nice idea. The CheckUsOut Trophy.

It's all academic now though isn't it? The decision has been made and we are stuck with this dreadful competition for another 2 seasons.

The vote has been cast and we have what we have, that's true.

But we shouldn't roll over.

We have an opportunity to use this dreadful competition to create something positive.

Never stop challenging those in authority. The moment we do, the likes of Harvey go for the kill and start passing more ridiculous rules through.

Spot on. These changes are most dangerous for clubs like ours, clubs that nobody but us give a toss about. For fans to be consistently ignored is unnacceptable. I just hope that Town have voted against B Teams and that we can show a bit of pride about our club.

Quoted from RichMariner
I'd never stop someone from going to the game if he/she wants to. That's totally up to them.

This idea has been floating around on Twitter and there's a real appetite for arranging a fans game on the same night - possibly at the same time - as our match against a B team, and we should see if we can attract more fans to this than the match at BP.

This isn't turning your back on GTFC. It's saying that football is only worth watching if it has fans at its heart.


I'm not sure if this is something the InternetMariners would like to get involved with, but imagine the coverage we'd get if our fans match attracted a bigger crowd than a 'professional' football match.

I think this sort of publicity stunt, whether successful or not, would attract media attention - and it might just encourage other clubs' trusts to do the same.

Strength in numbers. We create our own fixtures because the 'real' ones have been devalued and are just about money and baying to the PL.

Football is for the fans. Let's actually do something that's for the fans, by the fans.


Just a thought.

But if you could get the interest. Organise the protest game at Bradley. Play for the 'Shaun Harvey' memorial trophy.
Instead of a cup the winners could be presented with a mounted pound sign £.   I'll quite happily donate the £20 I would have spent at BP.
I did spend at the club shop this season out of guilt at boycotting the trophy. But not next year. Not a chance.



The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
