After the York performance we were asking is the squad any better than under Fenty and you have to say no.
Yes i know off field we have a glass barrier, posts out the main and better scotch eggs.
Turnover has doubled but the squad is as bad if not worse than under Fenty.


Yoda you need to stop living in the past, the JF years were terrible, he gave our club a really bad image (poor wages etc) and the new owners are trying to re-build our image as well as improvements to BP.  JF was a cheap skate so yeah, at the moment things are looking much brighter.

Ok, against my better judgement I will bite. Trying to compare our squad three weeks before they season starts with 20 years of regression under The Leech is a tad lop sided, Especially one that has been started and endorsed by detractors of our present regime and manager. However I will add my input. Allegedly, under Fenty we had an owner who interfered with player recruitment , reneged on agreed contract terms and interfered in areas that were best left to the people employed to deal with this. We now have a more professional set up which is more aligned to the modern approach. The squad isn't complete yet and I think the manager and owners know this. What is going on behind the scenes, as regards to recruitment, we aren't privy to and why should we be? The most important thing is what the squad is when we play our first league game.

We aren’t much better to be honest. There’s certainly no entertainment going to watch Artell team

I stopped going to pre season games expecting to be entertained a long time ago.
These days the game is broken up by so many substitutions on both sides that as a spectacle it becomes dross.

Are you really a Town fan??
Let's get the season started and see who we have when the squad is finalised.
I'm not a DA fan and think he should have gone after the Donny game but he didn't so I will be supporting him and the lads from the off.
If it goes to excrement then it will be dealt then.


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.

One of those statements is true, you haven’t a clue about the other one.
