Hi all,

I received this really interesting piece by Grimsby season ticket holder Shaun Bennett about the issue with the club. See what you think

I expect reading the comments on this forum that the vast majority of you would agree. Feel free as always to leave comments on the page.

Cheers
James

There’s no proof in the public domain that Rob Scott punched anyone so I’d suggest you change that before you get sued.

Great article - and speaks for many of us
Lost opportunities, bad PR, control freakery, lack of foresight etc etc

Our board (compared to others) is being run like a Division 4 outfit from the 70s

Embarrassing and depressing - the whole matchday experience is joyless

I agree, he might have straightened Fenty's tie or was that Newell ?

There may be one or two anomalies with the facts in there, but I don't disagree with the majority of that.

Bottom line is that we are being run on a shoestring by a board that have proved themselves to be less progressive than several of their non-league counterparts.

I wouldn't say the root cause but I would definitely say that the board top brass have strangle hold on the clubs pearls of wisdom.

the board (trust included) must live and die by the sword and for once, when the fans/public are crying out for some solidarity and positive pr the communication is about as likely as the Fenty dome popping up on peaks parkway.

John, board and trust, if ever clear the air talks were needed, NOW is the fu(king time to do it. NOW is the time to rid the playing style that has driven hardcore town fans from supporting the club. NOW is the time to bring some positivity into the club before it is too late. Bite the bullet, admit the failings that have gone on and forge a bond with the supporters of this great club before it's too late

John Sheldon Fenty you stand accused of ruining a football club and destroying the fans morale, whilst hiring your mate a failed manager using the excuse that you are waiting for a bit of football fortune, how do you plead.


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.
