I guess this is possibly Fleetwood Towns demise going forward.  Grimsby Town have never played Fleetwood in the football league, only at National League level >> https://www.11v11.com/teams/grimsby-town/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Fleetwood%20Town/

Continuing on from this previous thread from May 2023 >> https://forum.thefishy.co.uk/?m-1684518008/s-0/

Fleetwood Town owner Andy Pilley was jailed for 13 years! for a multi-million pound fraud which "duped" firms into expensive energy contracts.

Full Read Here >> https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-66099646
Quoted from BBC News | Posted: 4th July 2023
On sentencing, Judge Knowles KC, said a "salesforce of cold-calling liars and manipulators duped very large numbers of honest and decent proprietors" into "long and expensive contracts" for their gas and electricity amounting to tens of millions of pounds.

The judge said Pilley "devised and enforced an elaborate pretence that the sales team were independent of the supply companies".

"The truth was that he owned them and called the shots," he added.

Horrible place, remember going there on a Tuesday  night, town fans being caged in and locked in the ground at full time and a threatened with arrest for complaining.

The last time we played them in a league fixture was 2012 when one Jamie Vardy put us to the sword.

Hopefully the off-field problems at Fleetwood, Morecambe, Swindon and Accrington mean there will be at least two basket cases next season.

You don’t have too much of a positive attitude then, with only another twelve months for us to turn things around, I guess. 😂

Andy Holt used to be the Twitter voice of the people didn’t he?

Met some Swindon fans after the game yesterday at the smallest pub on the planet
Good genuine fans they were pleased we stopped up describing us as a proper football club with proper fans
They are going through a lot of changes not for the best I was told
Hope they stop up next year they were formed in 1879 a year after us

They are in a right mess off the pitch without those 2 loan lads they had up until January they would have gone down .
