If you care about the future of this club and removing the cancer from it, then there’s only one option left. Starve it.

No , Although this has been an absolute pile of crap I will stick with it for the rest of the season. Only relegation will see me stop going. Relegation and no chance of a season ticket and me along with many others will be out I fear. Searching for positives in this disaster, at least that little weasel Holloway is gone and we will not need to listen to his post match interview crying about footballers and Covid. So many people have really suffered so much and listening to the pathetic turd of a man was sickening
I never really understood people sucking up to the little jerk. Is the only positive I can draw from this mess Utm

Not a penny more. Today is the first £10 towards the fighting fund.

You can support a team but not the regime...if you support the club I’d suggest the boycott is an extension of that support...

We need 3 points. As someone has said elsewhere, if we stay up then the consortium will probably be back. Staying up is our number one priority

going down inevitably lessens the value of the club. Having said that, it's obvious that they're Town fans and wouldn't want that to happen ps one thing that Day/Fenty should have in mind is that we are bloody good at boycotts; as good as we are at getting behind the club financially. Remember the Checkatrade attendances???

Sorry mate the priority is Fenty out by whatever it takes

| 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. GOD |

Maybe but more chance of that if we stay up as Shutes and Co will I am sure be back Relegated and they may not or they might make Fenty an even worse offer.

I have paid £10 every Saturday this season to watch the match on i follow with my 9 year old son. Not anymore, I will try and see if I can get it on the radio. But there is a wider and longer term threat to all of this- he has always supported Grimsby because I do despite never living their, however if we no longer go to games/ watch them within time he will switch his support elsewhere, and we loose a new generation of supporters. We have been to Guiseley a few times and he enjoyed it. Maybe that is where he will end up as it is local. I feel bad but I can not carry on supporting the club with Fenty in control. Enough is enough.

Remember the fans forum and the attitude and comments of the Board. They have no time for fans. God knows what they say about us in private.

Do you remember the Wembley double year? Beating Villa in the League Cup. Brilliant league displays in tier 2. I want those days back.
It’s my opinion that the club will not recover until Fenty is gone. I’m therefore not wasting any money until he’s gone. I don’t see the point in supporting Fentys ownership as it’s just prolonging the pain. I love the club but sometimes you have to endure some pain to get what you want. Not watching Town is the price I’m going to pay and I’d encourage all other fans to do the same.

Sorry if this has been discussed before (can't keep up with it). I know the aims of a boycott would ultimately be to remove JF et al from the running of the club, but I'm interested to know what might happen as a result.
Would JF be likely to walk away if fans refused to pay any more money?
Would the losses resulting from the boycott mean the club would go into admin, or would JF cover the losses and add the money to what he believes the club already owes him?
If the club goes into admin, I assume there would be an official search for a buyer before the club was allowed to fold completely. Would this mean that the club might possibly be sold to the consortium at a cheaper price than the one JF is currently asking for?
Sorry, I have no idea how these things work.

A boycott is likely to lead to Fenty having to lend the club more money. When he gets fed up with doing this he can either keep reducing the budget so it continues to perform badly on the pitch, continues to suffer relegations. He will never get a penny back that way. Or he can call in his loans risking putting the club in admin. Because the club’s assets are security for the loan he becomes the owner of Blundell Park. Either way he will continue to trash his own reputation and leaves himself an unenviable reputation. Reviled in life and after.

PS the paper value of BP is lower than his loans and shares, so his position gets worse the longer this goes on.

Thanks for explaining that, Kingston. So you don't think JF is likely to call in his loans then? He's said he won't in the past, but things are moving so quickly, and I don't suppose anyone knows what to believe at the mo.

You’re welcome Marinette. Apart from the first bit about the security for the loans, the rest is just me trying to work out the possibilities. Problem with Fenty is you can’t judge him by normal people’s behaviour.
