SLADEBALL

Quoted from Marinerz93

As a non gambler myself I use to wager ten bob to stop it getting silly money, that or pints.

Don't drink so ,we could make it farthings I think I'v got a few kicking about.I was going to heat the up on the gas ring to give to the kids at Halloween.

Birtles, Futcher, Lumpaldinho, Whittle etc etc etc.

Nothing wrong with signing experienced players over 30 if they're good enough. Our current over 30s are all OK, but not much better than that. Much like most of our younger players.

But not 6 in one team 7 if you include Dixon.

Quoted from friskneymariner

Vernon, Davies,Clarke,Collins,Woolford, McCallister  all probably playing their last season in League football too great a proportion for one team to carry.

Agreed, who was it who said never give a player their last contract? We are absolutely shite, it is a minor miracle we have somehow amassed as many points as we have. Expect our luck to run out any time soon. Jouneyman players seeing out their days. When we go a goal down, we're done. No determination, no drive, very little ability to pass or receive a ball. No pace at the back, no regular goalscorer. No lessons learned, keep that map for the National league clubs. I for one, won't do that again.

Why include Dixon, a 30 year old defender? Should have several years left in him at the very least. How old was Macca when he retired?

Woolford is only 31 as well. Hardly Methuselah, is he?

Collins played well last season and was worth another year. Clarke isn't that old either, especially when centre backs tend to go on a bit longer than other outfield players. I wouldn't have kept Davies, however.

I suppose we do have an relatively 'old' defence in the grand scheme of things when Davies is playing, but it's not as ridiculous as some seem to think.

You often see people write that but there is no truth in it whatsoever. The better the team is doing and the higher up the league they are, the more people come. If we won the next ten games at BP, no matter how it was achieved, they'd be turning fans away. If we lost 10 games with entertaining 9 goal thrillers and total football, crowds would plummet!

This isn't anything peculiar to Grimsby either, it's true at every team up and down the land!
