Five minutes? Five seconds would have been more realistic. It must be your turn....

Oh and there you go again speaking as though you ARE the fans of GTFC. Fourth may not be "acceptable" at the end of the season but for now I'm not particularly depressed about it.

You obviously can please yourself what you do with your saturday afternoons. My choice is to carry on supporting the XI players who wear the black and white of GTFC on a Saturday. I suspect there will be other "sheep" who think the same.

I know what you mean though...This board used to be fun to visit before you and the rest of the Senna-like soothsayers came on with your 100% doom and gloom..

BTW-don't forget to keep us updated on your "will he won't he" return to Blundell Park. I doubt I shall be able to rest until that is properly sorted...


I can't remember but were you one of those who kept bleating on about how Neil Woods would keep us up yet us that clearly didn't were harangued for being doom mongers.

The real frustration is seeing 2 successive games with 13 goals for, then slowly watching tactics and formations change over the next few months, and players losing form and confidence in droves.

Wow. I have never known Town fans to be so divided. There seems to be no middle ground any more. Every comment on here (positive or negative) is now scrutinised and then shot down by the opposition. As usual on here at the moment almost every thread turns into a slanging match. Personal insults are plentiful from both sides. Even the likes of Barra are being dragged down to playground level. So much for the 'new' fishy.  Invited guests only !!
More user names than ever.
To return to the OP. It sums up pretty much how I feel right now. This squad do seem to be copping the flack for the demise started well before ANY of them joined.  Not blaming just them but for the first time in 40 odd years I had no interest on how they did on Saturday none, l really don't care. The OP has tried to rationalise why he feels the way he does. Doesn't seem to be a rant at JF PH and Co. But f@@k that let's all have a pop at each other anyway.  My twopenneth is that I won't be there on Saturday. I'll be watching it on the box and not even guilt will sway me to go (it did against Macc). Loyalty is very much a two way thing and at the moment I feel my loyalty is not deserved. Hope it's a blip but not holding my breath.


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'

Quoted from Doctor Sanchez
There's probably only a couple of dozen very regular posters on this forum, that's hardly representative of the 5000+ town fans (that's including those who'll reappear at the ground if we get back into the league).  I think it's also down to anybody reading the stuff on here to keep it in perspective, especially any players or Paul Hursts or John Fentys that may be reading it.


Agreed,  as a regular poster I try not to be too hypo either way, not a fence sitter but like to praise or criticise as to which way our season goes as I see it

Remember the sports telegraph? Used to love that on a weekend with the match report.

My feelings then were pretty much as they are now. I actually didn't think Neil Woods should have been given the job but, once he was, he got my unqualified support. It's what fans do apparently-back the manager and the players....FWIW I do think Paul Hurst will keep us up...

Just "fighting fire with fire" me old mate. It's all part of my plan to reclaim the board for the forces of unrepetitive, considered debate...Hurry up or you'll miss your sitting for school dinner. It's semolina and prunes for pudding...

It's not the same any more because football has changed from the days when we all fell in love with GTFC.  We haven't had a promotion in 17 seasons and we are currently in the dustbin of ex league clubs.

The fans are divided more than ever because you have those who are demanding the club drags itself up by the scruff of the neck and then you have those who are sacred JF will walk or stop putting money into the club.

You don't feel the same any more Grantham_Mariner, not because of 6-7 posters being negative as someone claimed but because the football is dire, there is no excitement or belief that something is going to happen.  Hurst has suffocated the football like Fenty has suffocated the club.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Been thinking this way for a while now. Fenty stopped the rot financially and Hurst stopped the rot on the pitch but we are now stuck in limbo and neither of them seem to know a way to move forward.
