Surely there are no positives from tonight? So many games last season, 4 already this, same tactics from moderate opposition to stifle and rob.


My comment related solely to the assertion that the vast majority of fans want a managerial change. There is absolutely no evidence to support that statement...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Having followed Town for 40 years + I would say yes.

It may not be the vast opinion of those that still go (however even that is rapidly changing).  It's about the 30 or so of us that used to go (even until fairly recently) that is now down to about 10.  It is about those that now prefer jeff stelling to BP and will be hard to win back.  Paul Hurst has contributed to that with his negative style of football and lack of promotion.  The likes of you and I Barra may be hard to deter.  But where it not for taking my 14 year old son, I do believe that Sky Sports and a few beers may well be the better option than GTFC under Paul Hurst/John Fenty.  Harsh maybe, but pretty much true.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I know a lot of Town fans and the majority want a change of manager. I'd say about 80% of those i've talked to. Surely that must be a fair representation across the board, or i just know a lot of miserable sods.

Based on a long history of reading and enjoying your posts I guess I've built up a fairly healthy respect for your opinion.  Hopefully you'll understand I wasn't trying a trade union (esque) rallying call for action.  I was merely expressing my thoughts and frustrations and hopefully not being abrasive to those with differing opinions.

Have to agree with Ginny in that where I sit in the Upper Findus PH has little or no support. I have a season ticket but will not going back to BP for quite some time as the majority of performances unde PH are so sterile, lack creativity and offer little or no entertainment value.

Used to love night games at BP now they have no atmosphere, performances are generally poor and we lose more than we win. Will help me lad do his homework next week.

Surely the trust is the voice of the fans and has a say on matters about the football club and that the overwhelming majority all believe that a change of manager is for the best?


"voice of the fans"


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.

'The majority of Town fans'? - a very bold claim!

Evidence please (from a robust sample size and objective research)?!

(Just as no doubt the Daily Mail would claim that the majority of people in Britain want x, y and z based on the more vocal subset of their readership (and the views of the proprietor))
