Good By My Fishy Friends

Quoted from RoboCod

Great.
I'm in no camp, I'm just utterly bewildered as to how suddenly the struggle of the club has been passed to the negativity of the home fans. Is this blame retrospective? Have the home fans been a bit grumpy for the past 10 years? Because I remember them turning out in great force in that period of time in an effort to stop us sinking from THREE League divisions.
And maybe the AWAY fans were a bit mardy on THAT day in Burton and should take the blame for a change, when the GTFC players AGAIN failed to put in anything like the level of commitment required and crashed us out of the League?

I'd better stay away, I'm in no mood to happily clap the same old error-ridden attempts at football, I'll come back to BP and be positive when these LONG TERM problems have been addressed.

Can I copy and paste please? This is about where I am.

I use to look forward to every home game in my career at Blundel Park, the fans were that brilliant behind us.
So lets get behind the lads once again for the final push to get out of this horrible league.
Dave Boylen

Before we crashed out of the league I asked you to go and speak to the players and tell them what staying in the league meant to us.  Sadly that fell on their deaf ears at the time.

I ask again, to go and have a meeting with the players Dave and tell them about your time at the club, explain to them how to win us over if they feel we are against them.  We have had a decade of players going through the motions and if you are honest in your review of past games some players are guilty of this.  The fans are desperate to get on side, it's down to the players.  If after your speech the players aren't motivated than no blame can ever be laid at the fans feet.

Quoted from newfootballer

What you have said regarding what John Fenty has maybe picked up maybe from the players regarding the home crowd attitude to the players is really a key point.

If John feels he has got to make a plea to the home supporters, well so be it, yes we have had two disappointing Xmas home games but we are still in with a genuine chance to push our mighty Mariners up for better results in the new year.

I personally feel that now we are coming up to the last third of this season, and we have got remarkable supporters especially away fans this is where we need really good support at Blundell Park.

There's no emotional connection any more, Dave. I know you aren't originally from the town but you lived here and knew how much the club means to us. The current squad might come here in July, never live in the town and leave again in May. How can they be expected to understand the pride and passion that many of the fans have - I'm afraid that for many players who've been here in the past 10 years, we're just another pay cheque - that said, I'd love to be proved wrong.

I'm not in anybody's camp we should NOT be dividing the club like this it's suicide, your never going to please everyone certain players will always get moaned at always have done it is nothing new. Bobby Mitchell use to get annihilated by some fans I still remember that from years ago.

I hope the players look at this and think right i show the ba******ds and put in a shift Hurst might not kick behind and be satisfied with mediocrity but it's clear a lot of fans are not so forgiving we are use to battlers at this club always have been.      

This is so sad.... John, you have fallen out with everyone throughout your 10 years in charge including radio Humberside (like him or loathe him, Dave Burns genuinely believes you are solely responsible for our plight), The Grimsby Telegraph and now the fans themselves.
You are unable to take any kind of difference of opinion, which has cost/is costing us dearly.
What a great partnership you and Mike Parker could have made but you couldn't take it.
For whatever reason, you keep a stranglehold on the control of the club, which I believe has been putting off other potential partners (big or small) and I know several.
I have always backed you but I am beginning to doubt your motives.
I will never, ever boo or abuse a player in a town shirt but to watch some of them just go through the motions, Arnold last game for example, is soul draining. Shake them up, not us, we will be there long after they've gone (I hope)
