Being an ex fisherman and knowing how hard the mission has worked over the years for the Fisherman of GY and there families absolutely fantastic by MJ
UTM
|
| 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.

Echo all of the above. Spread the word and pack the park - he deserves it and so do the team. He is putting the pride and belief back in. |

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Why would you want two threads ?😉 |
| 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?

Didn’t a load of fans club together to buy Maccas 700th appearance shirt he was selling in aid of a charity a while back? I’d be up for chipping in to do that for this. |

Aye me too. No doubt about it M.J. has his finger on the pulse of Grimsby he uses his brain, best P.R. man since big Lawrie Mac. I know he needs to concentrate all his efforts in getting us back up to a decent side and I know it's not his job to, but you can't help thinking if he got involved in moving us to a new stadium it would happen at greater speed. Probably tread on a few board MEMBERS toes/ego's mind lol Community club, need a comunity stadium. https://www.facebook.com/MarinersTrust/videos/253068772260617/ |

Maybe start a new thread so more people see and someone could maybe take donations via PayPal? If we don’t get enough it’s easy to refund everyone, or donate it to fisherman’s mission in any case even if we don’t get enough? |

I'd be willing to accept payments via Paypal if we decided to go for this. I'm sure that I can be trusted to look after the money having ran The Fishy Buster for a number of years. Edit... Having said that I've just had a quick look on Ebay and bidding is currently at £700 so not sure if we'd be able to raise enough to top that! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mic.....SwYXVcYXIP:rk:1:pf:0 |

That quote made me doubt you for a second there, Les!  Another idea I’ve thought of is if everyone stated how much their pledge would be by PM or something and then approach the club with a silent bid of a total. It may be gazzumped by the actual auction I suppose but theres been a number of people declare interest and with a bit of help with twitter and facebook we could better the current bid. |

I think best idea is to put bid via EBay, as don’t think the club will remove from eBay as it may affect them with people wondering if they’ll do the same and take other items down in the future. Might be wise to say all money raised will go to Fisherman’s mission in any case win or lose, seen as that’s the reason he’s donated his award in the first place. Happy to help spread the word via Facebook twitter etc |

Cheers Rob. We'll see how much we can raise but I will be surprised if we manage to top the £700 it currently stands at. |

Problem is pledges and actual donations maybe two completely different numbers. Also if we did this we’d probably get more by putting on Facebook twitter etc and not everyone’s on the fishy unfortunately. Maybe we can say we are collecting for fisherman’s mission and winning the auction is a bonus? |

A suggestion.
Why don't we start contributing to Les via paypal as he suggests. Then we will add whatever we raise to the auction proceeds and the entire amount is then given to the Mission?
That way the Mission will get both amounts instead of just one if we won the auction?

I imagine actual donations will exceed pledges. What happens is if it gets close to the asking amount is we can make a bid for it and then recoup the money afterwards. I am happy to make up some of the shorttfall if we're confident we can reach the target sum through a wider appeal. |

The above makes sense. Don't forget you have to win the bid so no point bidding on it without having sufficient funds in the first instance. Why not set up a crowd funding page on Facebook? We've done it at Auchinleck Talbot to help with finding the necessary finance for floodlights, and we've raised just under £4 k in a month. We'd actually got £2k in the first two days - they tend to slow down after the initial burst. But make it dual edged so if sufficient funds aren't raised to win the plaque the money goes to the FM regardless. https://www.justgiving.com/cro.....wFZFWpPP97onRF6HeZQc |

I am actually with Ipswin on this Would you really want that on display in your house? Maybe MJ wants rid of it. Giving him the awful thing back might upset the poor bloke. By all means put in a good bid but then maybe donate it elsewhere!  UTMM |

If someone is happy to make up the shortfall, then this could be recouped by a percentage of the next few Buster's or a one off "Mega Buster". The other option is to tell the club what we are doing and ask them what price to withdraw the item from auction early, if that can be done after bids have been placed. There is no guarantee that we would win the auction as late bids can go in at anytime, we have to get the final bid. I hope one of "us" isn't bidding against "us". I could also imagine JF hovering over his keyboard with minutes left on the auction, pushing up the bids, with £2M signs for eyeballs. |

Why compete with the auction?
Why not let whoever wins hand over the £700 plus, and we can just collect as much as we can to add to that total. Then one of us could no doubt go with Jolley to hand over all of the combined funds?
That way we show MJ that we appreciate and support his gesture and the Mission gets more cash. Win Win.

That makes complete sense. The Mission gets even more cash (courtesy of us but inspired by Jolley's lead) and he doesn't get lumbered with an horrific plastic thing he's trying to get rid of anyway. |

I think this trophy should take pride of place in a room with a snooker table and a picture of a half naked lady. Perhaps belonging to someone who should be really thankful and to show some appreciation that the GTFC Manager and his staff has done a great job of turning the fortunes of the football club around ,and as a reminder what almost happened last season, from on the verge of returning to non-league to a squad to be reckoned with in League 2.. Thank you Michael Jolley and your Backroom staff,you are a breath of fresh air to Our club. |

I totally agree but it would be more like you know who to make the donation by buying Jolley's trophy for his mantelpiece, I wonder if whoever buys it would just give 4 grand to the cause without the trophy |

It’s the sort of piece that would appeal to a general football memorabilia collector. Unique in that it is signed, rare as there are only 12 available per season (same design last year I think, not that we won any). I doubt it is a Town fan looking to buy it.

I personally would love to be in a financial position to give 4 grand for the trophy and then anonymously return it to it's deserved owner. |

I wonder how much it costs to make one of these trophies? I assume the base is made out of something like aluminium and not plastic or solid silver |

I personally would love to be in a financial position to give 4 grand for the trophy and then anonymously return it to it's deserved owner.
He doesn't want the bloody thing! Please don't lets go there again |

Not you is it 'Swin.
Afraid not Les, not yet anyway but who knows, my book is published next month I don't want the damn thing any more than Jolley, if I were to put up £4000+ it would be for the Mission but I'd do it on the understanding that I didn't get the bloody trophy |

It’s the sort of piece that would appeal to a general football memorabilia collector. Unique in that it is signed, rare as there are only 12 available per season (same design last year I think, not that we won any). I doubt it is a Town fan looking to buy it.
It will be a Town fan or a business with links to the club. They're not that collectable in terms of memorabilia, especially when you can get league 1 and 2 championship medals for less at specialist football auctions. |

So we know it’s not you either then Jock. Whoever is the leading/winning bidder, there must be at least one other idiot/generous soul. |

Sold for £1650. Nice sum of money for The Fishermans Mission. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mic.....SwYXVcYXIP:rk:1:pf:0
Providing the high bidder coughs up Les. It wouldn't be the first lot on Ebay to be bid up to a ridiculously high amount by some sodomist pissing about who has no intention of paying. Let's hope it's a genuine buyer |
