To be honest I am old enough/daft enough to go to matches when I like and would not even try to influence anybody else to go or not to go.

Nobody bullies anyone it's entirely up to the individuel. Do I like the way things are going on and off field? No.

Will I abandon my club,no chance.

As a fan the players need our support whether they actually deserve it or not is another matter but it`s the Manager I have a problem supporting. When I look at our squad it isn`t great but it isn`t the worst FFS Slade take the shackles off at home and if we lose 2-3 at least people will come out the ground saying we had a right go.That`s what Grimsby teams do at home and have done for years had a go win,lose or draw and by and large the fans will back that.This mind numbing stale defensive hoofball isn`t working so please try something else or even better leave.

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover




Incidentally, on Saturday there were half hearted "Fenty out" chants in the Pontoon - did Fenty get any stick from the upper Smiths?


Its was eerily quiet throughout on Saturday up there. There were a few comments directed at him by 2 or 3 on their way out but wasnt close enough to hear what was said

I am not interested in a boycott which will only damage our club. I know JF is the main man and the buck stops there but what has he done in relation to our current run of bad form and poor results. If you want to ditch him what is he accused of. By the way I don't have any connections with him any strong views either way.

Not sure that a boycott of League games is the right thing at the moment. The club will suffer loss of revenue (from non-S/T holders). Admittedly it's probably going down anyway, and I see the point about making one big gesture before it's too late.

But what would be the aim of such a boycott? Change the manager? Change the tactics? Change the team? Change the (non)chairman? In truth any combination of those as different people will have different reasons.*

I think the aim will only be misconstrued (either wilfully or not).

Also will the people who do attend be disagreeing with the aims of the boycott or lack sympathy for it? No.

* personally speaking any change of manager/team selection/tactics will only paper over the cracks


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.
