Feels like the blame and finger pointing culture is king at the moment............Oh for a cup run!

Seems the absence of fans is no impediment to them playing well.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Watch the celebration at the end of the FG win and see if Mr Fenty is a fan, I donot agree with all but for me he is a town fanatic absolutely no doubt at all

I'm certainly not saying fenty is taking money out of the club. I was more implying when the support base loses confidence in the owners they tend to stay away

Why are people treading on eggshells? On a public forum, as long as common decency isn't compromised then most things are up for discussion. I've always believed in fan ownership of a football club rather than one individual, or an individual with a controlling share as we have at Grimsby. I just don't agree it with, think it's an anachronism, and in the wrong hands - as we've seen at many clubs up and down the country - can be used for personal gain rather than benefiting the club. If it's a good enough model for the Bunsdesliga - with a couple of notable exceptions - it's good enough for me.

Because I believe in this method of ownership doesn't mean I'm going to be hostile to the chairman, although I would always argue my corner most vociferously, but I just feel we should move on from where we are now. What worries me about the Pete thing is that I never saw anything that was downright nasty to John Fenty in his post, he was arguing the point about who actually spoke for the club, and yet we're led to believe that Pete has effectively been silenced on the matter? It's a disturbing trend if true.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

The thing is unless John Fenty has found the secret of immortality ,he is not always going to be around,so between now and the time of his departure there must be a succession the appropriate question should be has J.F. done any succession planning
