Can my fellow fishy posters explain to me how the GTFC board are elected and who exactly is on it? I never see any other GTFC board member commenting on any GTFC topic other than Fenty. Admittedly I only get my Town info from the Fishy and the Grimsby Telegraph....Thanks

I think you have to be nominated by the existing board and voted on, which if correct explains it all really.

Would be interesting to know how much they have put into the club on an individual basis, I suspect in football terms very little.

For a start, Steve Wraith isn't on the board. The other directors are Philip Day (retired solicitor), Stephen Marley (retired accountant), Jon Wood (Trust Director) and Michael Chapman (not very successful racehorse trainer).

Chapman - £500 shares
Day - £2500 shares
Marley - £2000 shares
Wood - £500 shares
Fenty - £975,000 shares

I assume the £2mil director's loans are all to JF and not any of the other board members.

Same, but I would assume one is a lawyer the other an accountant and maybe the last one in construction or similar?

John has found a really good way of saving money on professional fees there I think, and on the back of this Ian Flemming is called the chief executive? but as he has no seat on the board isn't even part of the exec. WTF does he actually do?

Not corrupt at all by any means, but where he governance of the club is concerned as it's a closed shop for the boys in real terms it could be termed morally bankrupt.

Fleming has been around forever. Way before the others and i think he is beyond reproach and a true club man.

The others are not there for their financial input, that's for sure. A Racehorse trainer with £500 of shares is not adding a lot that i can tell. When you look at how much they all have invested into the club in shares, it's a paltry and insulting sum given their privileged position at the club. Looks like a cushy gentlemans club and a throwback to the days when football boards were local bigwigs who lorded it over the peasantry.

Can't speak for Mr Wood but the rest look like 'yes'men to me.
