I think it is a throwaway comment to signify that there are a small handful of trouble causers creating a ruckus and that the complainers are very much in the minority. I'm not sure there are actually five people specifically you could name, though there may be i suppose.

It was believed by the club that opposition to the Chuckaway Trophy was just a 'vocal minority' and i also think they believe that is the case with most issues that are complained about. So the Fishy 5, i believe, is a catch-all phrase to express that view.



I think you are right, I think it might have been 5 or 6 originally.

Dangerous ground branding people the fishy 5 I may or may not be in the 5  and I may or may not want to be added.I think Rob should sell Fishy 5 tee shirts I may have a word in his shell like could be an earner.


Your business acumen must be about the same as that of the GTFC board.

Hardly going to be a big earner when you have a potential customer base of er   5.    


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Aside from that, we don't know who the 5 are, whether or not they want to be on a T shirt, maybe GYFR could tell us who they are, all proceeds to GTST!

It's very easy to find out whether something is a vocal minority or not.

Put it to a vote.

If it's a vocal minority then they simply wouldn't have the power to dictate the outcome of a (securely hosted) online poll.

But that's the problem with John Fenty and the board of directors. They say they listen, but they don't.

They don't make any attempt to listen BEFORE a decision is due, and they don't make any attempt to DO what the fans want. Instead, like the Checkatrade, we're told we don't understand the complexities.

Well of course we don't because the board doesn't share them with us. The board doesn't talk to us. The board doesn't communicate with us.

They do what they want, then they check to see how their decision goes down on here, or on Twitter, and if we don't give them our unwavering support and say how grateful we all are, then they spit their dummy out and we're called bullies.

It was a derogatory comment made by JF to play down the significance of fans on here, effectively saying a few people dominated the discussion and drowned out the "genuine" supporters.

There were all more than 5 dissenting voices of course, but he never enumerated who the five were.

All joking aside Rob, perhaps if JF treated fans as slightly more significant than he does currently (mug punters/bums on seats), he might get a bit less flak and a bit more respect.

Who are they and what have they done please can anyone explain?


He told Pete I was a nasty piece of work after I questioned him over the MP shares fiasco in fact I believe he contacted Rob about me too, I don't know if he tried to get me banned, anyway I must have touched a nerve.


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.
