I hate to be curmudgeonly because £50k is £50k and better than a kick in the teeth but it's really nothing much relative to the overall finances of the squad.  I imagine today's signings will cost that in wages so maybe that is how it's being spent.  However it can't be spent on long term improvement as it's a one off.  We need someone with money to invest over several seasons.

Mr Mullen has said on RH that if Hurst sees a signing that he would like to sign and Mr Mullen sees it as a good signing then he would be prepared to invest even more!

Great stuff. We don't even have to give them a stand name like that bird at Chesterfield!

Wonderful to see some fans who've come into some money, happy to invest some of that back into the club he loves. It's come at an important time for the club as well. Thanks to the Mullens'

Pretty sure that Fenty said that players at this level do not earn anything like some folks probably imagine they do.. so surely 50k would be enough to net an extremely good player at this level for a year, or a couple of good players at least till the end of the season.. so 50k is a pretty decent, and well timed investment in my opinion!

I know that, as town fans we would (possibly) offer a larger more significant amount, but this can't be anything other than a good thing. It's backing not only for PH but also the squad ( and any more potential signings)

"Euromillions winners Lee and Sue Mullen have invested £50,000 in Grimsby Town Football Club.

The avid Mariners fans – who scooped £4.8 million in 2011 – have bought 500 shares worth £100 each.

The announcement comes on the day that the club announced new signings Christian Jolley and Gregor Roberston.

Lee, 44, who attends every home game at Blundell Park, said the money would be used to strengthen the squad in the push for promotion from the conference."

A great gesture and congratulations to you both.


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.

They won the money in 2011, must have been Mullen it over.

Great gesture though.

Credit to all concerned. What hairs I have left are slightly more erect this evening.
