PS on reflection chris blor might be right to be sceptical about these new investors. Am sure that Fenty said that there was absolutely nobody local who had money.nor was interested in investing in the club....
Presumably thats why he had to turn to failed racehorse trainers and ex lags?
For the record.....i am right now and reserve the right to remain, sceptical about the new investors and I should imagine that will be the case until one of them delivers a half time turn that trumps Wagner. |

That's not actually true about JS and AP as regards BP. According to what they said they don't think a new ground is a priority at the present time. That doesn't mean our future is at BP but it's not the most pressing thing at the moment. With new investors on board and a couple of good seasons, especially if that could culminate in a promotion then the whole situation could change. We are now starting to have a board consisting of experts in the world of finance, property development, technology and business development. This is a far cry from our past when the board consisted of parochial businessmen, fish factory owners, accountants, glorified grocers and other obscure characters whose limit of expertise was within a 40 mile radius of Grimsby.
I always hoped Mike Parker would get back involved , a good guy a really good one- amongst that lot he didn't stand a chance . |

Nobody interested while he owned the club. Probably too many people savvy to his character and business ways to want to get involved with him. It would appear that Mike Parker sussed him out and soon got out. |

That may because they have already moved or redeveloped their existing ground .
Can you name me another club in the EFL that hasn’t either moved or redeveloped their existing ground eg built a new stand in the last 30 years.?
Can you tell me another club, of our size, that stagnated for over 20 years due to an owner who was too busy stroking his own ego rather than looking after a community asset?... In my lifetime of supporting town this is the most progressive and proactive, off the field, I've ever seen us and that's very much down ro AP&JS. |

Listening to DA’s pre Barrow interview it sounds as though the investment has been sorted for a while and the announcement was held back until after the transfer window closed so it didn’t inflate the deals people were asking for. Sensible.

and probably to avoid a complete meltdown from the more excitable fans expecting every penny to be spent signing players. |

Once a manager/head coach starts complaining to the media about their budget, their days are usually numbered. A perfectly rational answer from Artell and probably helps control wage expectations from potential targets in January.
Personally, I'd rather see the £1.5m going towards something tangible that we can benefit from for a significant period of time as opposed to a few players that will be somewhere else before we know it.

Agree - even back in 1980, the Findus Stand was a very unambitious replacement for the Barrat, and the tiny share capital inhibited any further development of what was an amazing home grown squad. At the point we were comfortably competing with clubs like Blackburn and Swansea with similar crowds. |

Good amount to cover losses for now and let’s hope for some football fortune in the meantime or back to square one, as I don’t see sustainability anytime soon.
A win today UTMM 👍👍
