Quoted from GrimRob


If there is a market out there for people willing to pay and are anywhere near 23 people fit/capable/qualified to do the job (which I doubt), then it might prove to be a reasonable business decision (albeit rather mean and derisory).

I'd happily pay £300 but I'd want to be dressed as the Grim Reaper  


That may defeat the object

After I left school, I attempted a B-Tech in mascoteering, but unfortunately I failed the course miserably. I still remember the question were it all went wrong. It went something like this...

Would you rather: a) Pay £300 to dress up for the afternoon in a suffocating, uncomfortable outfit and be expected to kick a football around with snotty-nosed kids. Followed by, watching the match through tiny slits in the costume whilst spotty, smoke-bomb wielding 14-year-olds chant, 'Mighty Give Us A Song' at you- knowing full well you can hardly breath in the outfit, let alone chant. Or...

b) Have a couple of pints in the bar, followed by watching the game from the comfort of your seat?

The Grimsby Reaper you mean.  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Does this mean if nobody stumps up we don't have a mascot? Would that make us the only club in the league without one?


I'm guessing we still have a regular mascot who steps aside when someone pays £300 quid.  I would also question how long they step aside for as the experience comes with 2 tickets.  I would guess therefore you are not being allowed to be Mighty during the game!!!

My read of all this is that maybe the Club came up with the idea of offering the chance to fans to be MM for a game.  MM possibly didn't like this and resigned.  

I see there is a whole rant from MM on Twitter tonight which just comes across as sour grapes.

Not the case and maybe someone from the club will screen shot it and take it to the boardroom demanding he be sacked, oh hang on.


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.
