4017

Quoted from Jaws

If Wycombe had brought 2,000 and the gate was 6k then no-one would be questioning it. August bank holiday always takes some off the gate as does a loss the game before which explains around 1000 off the home gate for Coventry.

That will now make 4 defeats in a row then. How many will be there next Saturday?

Quoted from promotion plaice

Yeah, the Main Stand will have had new guttering.

To Promotion Plaice and Bigdog - it does seem like 'groundhog day'  - / 'deja vous'

In the short term (with the current squad), it does seem that the previous 6 or 7 years fighting to get back in to the main Football League appears to be in jeopardy.

However, there are 42 more league games left.

So the onus is clearly on the individuals that run the club to ensure that GTFC, at the bare minimum, does not exit the main Football League this season.

Complacency from them (for surviving the first season back in the main Football League)) is now the biggest threat.

But exit from the main Football League can happen - it has before - and can be reality again next year.

All down to the individuals that run the club to decide, where they want the club to be in the Football League pecking order.

Fans expectation may be higher than this though.

As to which Football Ground the Town use to play on is irrelevant really.

Its all about JF's legacy does he want to go down in history as the man who took Grimsby Town Football Club out of the league twice? better loosen the purse strings John.

It's been a disastrous start
To upset to post till now
I can take losing games as been following for decades
But at the moment don't look like winning one
Undermotivated
Underwhelming
Under disciplined
Seemingly poor squad
Obviously we have to give slade and Wilko a bit more time as I don't want yet more change and yes I can be smart after the horse has bolted but was wondering if it had been cheaper to match shrews offer for hurst and keep him than spend all this money on loads of players and two managers (three if we don't turn things round in say the next six games)
We need a result to boost confidence for all more than I can remember in recent times
Come on JF and RS sort this out please
Concerned Long term fan

And the stadium??....Yep, thought as much!! JF big money making scheme!!

Don't worry about the new stadium - it will never happen. All bollox like everything else at BP

See that there is at least one Fenty acolyte left.

To be fair, the Bovril was hotter than normal on Saturday.

As much as I agree that GTFC is John Fenty's self constructed "North Korea" and that he has build it on dodgy leverage with this benign loan bit and lacks imagination and professionalism on a regular basis I am not sure anyone one here can prove that the start to the season is down to him.

- We don't know what the budget is/was even when "reliable source" tells many of us in a pub apparently

- We don't know who RS tried to bring in and why they may have turned us down

- We know the length of the current players deals but not their salaries

- We don't know how much Russ has to play with for the rest of the season.

What I do know is that for whatever reason the side have not gelled which could be down to the manager as well as the suspensions, injuries and playing teams that have done better than us on the day.

Maybe just maybe the players need to take some of the blame for where we are?

Don't want to sound like an apologist for Marcus Bignot (because I'm not!), but it must be quite a hard sell to bring players into a club that sacked a mid-table manager just after (2 months) he's re-shaped the playing squad. If you put yourself in a player's boots, it must be a negative rather than a positive. Add that to some of the other negative press we've had in the recent past and you can see why some players go elsewhere.
