Mighty Mariner quits"

Has JF taken over GrimRob's account? All you ever do these days is echo what the club say Rob!

On a serious note, it's a shame he's gone but he's only the mascot for gods sake. All this attention seeking on social media is boring. If you've got something to say just say it.

Quoted from Southwark Mariner

maybe have a Mighty Marinette too

Here we go political correctness rearing its ugly head.

Lot of really wild accusations firing over all over the place here, unless you know the facts can I suggest people don't talk shite please.

I've spoken with Andy over this and all I am prepared to say is that he's really upset with the way this has been handled.  His decision to quit is one he's made and I cannot believe it hasn't been respected.

Yes Andy put this on Facebook, like skaface said, on his own private account.  Not in a public group, not a statement.  A flipping Facebook status update.  Ones like most of us put all the bloody time.

I personally find it appalling that the Telegraph decided to run a story on this over the weekend.  Why?  It's not a story, it's something that happens all the time.  Man Leaves Job!  Yes Andy is a well known local personality and Mighty Mariner is synonymous with GTFC but it's just disrespectful, not to mention gutter press tactics, to make a story out of this and basically excrement stir.  An actual player (Anthony Straker) left the club last season and the Telegraph didn't even report it, yet they're capable of running a story on a Facebook status.  Gutter press.  

The 'statement' from the club is an absolute disgrace.  Seriously, the lowest of the low.  To make out that Andy has quit over money is bang out of order.  Anyone who knows Andy will know he is GTFC through and through and bleeds black and white.   I am absolutely appalled at the suggestion in the statement and think the club would do well to issue an heartfelt apology.  

Whilst I'm at it, why are the club issuing a statement through the Telegraph?  This isn't on the official site.  Is this a case that someone at the club has rung someone at the Telegraph who's only too happy to run a no mark story, regardless of the quality of the piece?

Sick to flipping death of how this club is run, especially this summer.  Can't issue a statement about the fact the season ticket books were messed up (again!), can't issue a statement of any purpose regards Fenty's decision to vote for B Teams in the Trophy, can issue a shitty statement putting the boot in on a Town fan who has decided he doesn't want to be a mascot anymore.

On the field this club is great, they've restored pride and passion to the area.  Off the field it's a shambles, of the Oysten Family at Blackpool proportions.  

How much to get rid of the flipping idiots in charge?

So have the club suggested that we auction slots as MM, like I have just done? Hope so, it's a good idea!

He was on £28 a game hardly breaking the bank was he  

Maybe PH has asked for a mascot with FL experience.  

Maybe there is a championship side with a young reserve team mascot that we could get on a season long loan

INSERT FACTS HERE.............

Is it really a good idea to give any paying member of the public access to a role that allows close interaction with children, vulnerable adults and will mean that they are on the side of the pitch during the game?

I think not
