What grinds my gears is teams like Morecombe, Harrogate, Barrow and Accrington can turn out a better team than us with a third of the attendance.
We average 6500-6600 a season and we are still awful bottom end league 2 struggling to even show up for games.
JS must be thinking what have i done he needs to pull all the players and management in and read them the riot act, we cannot go down again but one win in seven and letting goals in for fun is not good.
Hopefully we can draw a few games and scrape to safety.


That's the thing season on season teams with both a smaller budget and fanbase continue to  do better than us , you have to ask yourself why ?

Crewe , Barrow , Morecambe and Harrogate this season

Burton , Exeter  and Cambridge continue to survive in league 1 .

It's not even the fact we are so bad that irks me , it's the continuous lack of ability to ever build on any sort of forward momentum or goodwill from the fans and find out or unlock our potential as a club .

It's frustrating

We were already heading in that direction under Hurst. Unfortunately too many happy clappers were prepared to start by him for too long.

So when did the supporters (happy clappers) actually have the ability to sack a manager?

What is it with you and B Corps?  You always have to bring it up in a negative way.  B Corps has absolutely nothing to do with how we play, ffs grow up!



As far as I'm aware this is the first time I have mentioned  B Corps. The real question is

What is it with you wanting to have a go at everybody, even those who have supported you?


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Bang on DB, he never actually offers much tbh, just asks aggravating questions, opinions not allowed unless we have known, implicit facts to back up why my farts smell of cabbage even though I don't eat it!!..

I would say that mostly the reason they can attract better players is the location towards bigger cities...
Accrington is 50 mins from Manchester, Barrow train in Manchester, Harrogate lovely place to live and Morcambe close to the Lake District (and still only an hour from Manchester on the train - 1.5hrs drive).

The fact is that nobody wants to live in Grimsby, or the surrounding towns within an hours journey, with maybe Lincoln as the exception.

This means we need to spend more money and offer better contracts, which is something the owners simply wont do.
Will can tell that by the dire salaries offered for the various jobs around the club, which not suprisingly have a high turnover of staff.

I dont know the step forward, really don't, but I do feel that all the money we have recieved for the promotion, FA cup runs, players sold etc, has all been wasted.

What did concern me in the last fans forum, was even after all this money was put into the club, we was losing money still.
Why is this?
