What a flipping drama queen. Get over yourself man you're a mascot.
Exactly, this has got far too much attention than it needs to have done IMO.

John seems to be quick enough to appear on here when he feels he is in the right. But the silence is deafening on this one. ! !
You're absolutely spot on - GYFR's appearances are strangely predictable!

Does it matter what happened? Not to me. Will it affect my attendance at games? Nope. Drop it and move on. Would anyone have noticed if the person inside the costume had changed if Andy hadn't announced it? I doubt it. It doesn't even matter, lets support GTFC, just as Andy will be doing tommorow. UTM

Never leave a man behind, as Mariners we have been through the mill. One of the bright lights in our most dullest periods of watching Town was Mighty Mariner, raising a smile with his antics and often distracting us from some of the worst football ever played at BP. His interaction with the fans of this club is second to none and he is great with the young Mariners.
For some he was just a bloke messing about and will be replaced just like the next Dr Who or James Bond. Andy may have let this go now and moved on but this is just yet another example of something happening at the club that isn't acting in the best interests of the club. Another episode of how to rob the fans of good feelings and another attempt at breaking goodwill.
I wish Andy did say what happened because it would put those in the spot light that have seen our beloved mascot leave the club angry and dejected. If Fenty loves the club as much as he claims, he had the power to put it right and didn't. To me you don't treat people the way Andy has been treated, but I am not a business person who doesn't see the true value of what an individual brings.

Unfortunately one of my friends I grew up with was tragically killed on his motorbike on Sunday on the A46 at Swallow - also unfortunately the other person that was killed was a town fan - times like these ( as much as mighty mariner was brilliant to the club) - this thread becomes hard to read - life's too short RIP great friend and fellow mariner!!❤

That's terrible news, sorry to hear about your mate, we've lost too many young Mariners before their time. R.I.P. fallen Mariners.

I have heard the other side of the story, also two sides to a story, Andy has decided to step after 16 years so lets move on. No one bigger then than our beloved GTFC, players, staff even mascots move on. Lets enjoy being back in the league and look at the positives rather than a few negatives, could be worse look at the likes of Charlton, Leeds & Blackpool to mention a few that a being ruined by their owners. Yes Mr Fenty and Co have make mistakes, but they have one thing in common with us they are Grimsby fans like you and me and want Grimsby to succeed. Look Forward and not behind and enjoy the season
