People keep eluding to the owners wanting a certain style of football, I hope this is just white noise as I’d be really surprised if they’ve defined the way they’d like us to play this season, I’d also be really p1ssed off too.
That’s because that’s what Stockwood said and why they picked Artell

It’s soul destroying. Why did Jason Stockwood and Andrew Pettit buy our club if they have no desire to get us entertaining football with decent players and an ambition to progress at least to League 1. They have a billion pounds between them probably. They say they love the club but it doesn’t much look like it to me. I know they don’t HAVE to spend spend spend, it’s up to them, it’s their money at the end of the day but I just don’t see the point in them having taken over if they are just not interested. Selling Kamil Conteh shows what little ambition we have. It’s Fentyism again! We are firmly in the doldrums forever. I hope I’m wrong. I keep going whatever division we are in but it’s just SOUL DESTROYING!

Is this a real post or is it sarcasm?

A write off at best
The lot around me are not renewing , today has made their mind up . I fear many more will be similiar now .
I like Jason and Andrew and 100% don't doubt their care and love for the club but fear their long term aims have forgotten the short term gains .
The home form has got worse from last season , They are going to have to dip into their well otherwise I think we go down again ; I would still go because it's a laugh + i love it but I'm sure some have had enough .
Over to Artell , Stockwood and Pettit to secure our league status
I will renew again if we are a league club If we get relegated, not a chance. Done my stints in Non League but never again.

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |

I'll renew if we are a league club, but I'm not doing another non league season if we go down.
Probably the odd game here and there, but won't commit to a season ticket, and watching Town won't take priority if I have something else I would rather be doing.
That’s exactly how I feel. I actually missed the whole of our first ever non-league season and did not regret it at all. I got dragged in right after, but that 5 year stretch (6 for most) were beneath us as a fan base. It really is embarrassing being down there. I cannot and will not do non league again. What it did to my life was 100% negative during that time. I’m lucky that I don’t suffer any mental health issues, but if I did those 7 years in total would have tipped me over the edge. We must stay up at all costs. Right now, being a glass half empty man, I suspect we’re doomed.

Me too. I’m trying to be positive but we’re losing a Chief Exec, have a chairman who doesn’t want to be chairman but wants us to play differently, have players who can’t or won’t play differently, a stadium that isn’t fit for purpose and a training ground apparently to match. And it seems our manager can’t remember how long he’s been here. Add to that, we’re in a very similar position to that where the owners came in. It’s not great.

I said the same to my dad last night
I cant justify 400+ quid on non league football. Im 28, Im on my way to getting a mortgage on my own, bills etc just like us all, I cant afford to spend that sort of money watching us play the likes of Ebbsfleet again

If only we had kept Bryn Morris we wouldn’t need Conteh…
