Quoted from Getyourfactsright


If there is genuine interest in me answering anything I will. There is a lot of total nonsense that has been said about pensions. I have not profited one iota from pension payments to me they simply contra / replaced loans that I made to the club from my company Five Star Fish when I owned it.  

Proceeds from the Trust shares will be invested in Grimsby causes in due course of which there are many. The Club has new investors and financing the club is a matter for them now.

Oh dear John, oh dear indeed. Showing your face at BP is your prerogative, not all fans like each other. But coming here and once again calling yourself gracious, pumping your ego, and defending nearly destroying this club is not going to do you any favours.

If you want to attend games, maybe shutting up and keeping your head down is the best way to go about it.

Can’t bear it not being about him can he? I’m of the opinion if he wants to come watch Grimsby Town FC and learn first hand, with his own eyes just how abjectly he ruined his chance of producing anything remotely positive during his tenure, then he should be able to. Two relegations into non league and a mountain of debt. Complete disassociation with the fan base and woeful after woeful decisions culminating in forcing shares to be gifted and alienating any and everybody who showed the slightest interest in being a part of the club.
Watch how the new owners do business, with your own eyes. You’re not a fan though, fans support. Fans care. Go back to hoarding your pennies.


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

Any coincidence that his first game was the one Jason couldn’t get to?

He 'continues to finance the club' because we haven't repaid his loans? The club would be worth in excess of £1.5 million more had you not mismanaged us to 3 divisions lower than when you found us with little-to-no advancement in almost 20 years of ownership.

You failed to get a new stadium
You failed to get any capital investment into the club
Attendances dropped
Revenue dropped

Every other professional team in the local area has progressed well beyond us to the point that Cleethorpes Town are only a few steps away from us in the football pyramid (no disrespect to them.

As for the no debt comment. There are plenty of clubs in debt of ~1.5 million with lower attendances than us that seem to cope OK. 10 years of 3% interest on your loans is the equivalent of £50k/year. A small price to pay to have not had you around our necks. You gained £200k of trust shares so you didn't really provide the club with 'free loans'.

Not willing to talk about the sensitive subjects because you know you were wrong. You hit lucky with FSF and have been a miserable failure ever since. Get lost.

And even that never happened, thank goodness.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

In the words of Douglas Adams.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
