Exactly, and if nothing else it’s yet more free positive national/international publicity. That must be the third piece along those lines in the last month discussing the relationship with Jamestown - when the transfer windows roll around, players & agents are going to look at us differently to how we’ve been typically viewed. Doesn’t take much to build up a reputation, Peterborough still held up as the best example of a team recruiting players from down the pyramid based off what they were doing 15 years ago.

Quoted from Yarborough Vaults
I'm excited but I would like to know the answers to two questions

1 How much is the data costing us
2 How much does the women's team cost us

It's fine reading soft soap stories like this but without any figures it's hard to understand what's genuinely going on.


Won't be too difficult to break down come accounts day for some of it , I'm intrigued come March what the loss is for 23/24 (I suspect somewhere between 1.5-2 million considering the Hurst sacking , without a cup run and an increase in playing budget + other essential items, like the ground   ) . These guys and the new investors are putting their money up and for me doing a good job ; if they want to indulge in things that some might see as superficial but might improve us + give us a better image as a club I'm all for it tbh .

Great article. Polly certainly talks the talk and gets what we're about doesn't she. Seems like another great appointment to me.

Quoted from GollyGTFC


And what something costs is very different to what the value of something is. Our former owner knew the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

This is one of the best and most concise things I've seen said about Fenty, very well put Golly.

Why is it a ‘soft soap’ story? What do you mean?

I get shot down for stuff like this, but “the men’s team”? No, that IS Grimsby Town FC, has been for over 100 years. You can’t just dismiss 100 years of history and put the women’s side at the same level of importance - the customer is always right, and you’ll never get 6000 fans watching 11 local girls taking to the pitch.

Society nowadays is ridiculous, it does my head in.

The women's team are clearly not at the same level of importance as the men, hence the substantial difference in support staff, playing budgets and advantages the men have. The women currently get gym memberships supplied by the club and have one member of full-time staff. The rest is all voluntary, it's a very bigoted point of view to dismiss the women's side just because they aren't as good as the men.

I suspect this is a little tongue in cheek but I went to Arsenal Women with my daughter and granddaughter last month, 60,000 sell out and a massive revenue stream, even a couple of years ago this would seem unimaginable, my niece and her friends are playing organised women’s football now. again this was not even an opportunity for women when I was younger.  We have to move with the times and I salute the club’s effort to push the club forward
