We will see how much the fans are united on this by the demonstration numbers, anything below1000 will say that the majority back the board, but anything below 500 would say it's  just the noisy hysterical minority and that would be embarrassing.


This.
I would guess the majority of STH will be nowhere near it.
Regardless it will have no bearing on the management/ownership.

NAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

Wow! An average of 22 games and 10 goals a season! He must be outstanding. And it was only 10 years ago.

Typically poor logic. It says nothing of the sort. It just says that the majority don't support the act of that protest.


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.

The wannabe traffic warden sticking Fenty out signs on my car window screen without my permission can do one as well.

Thing is, we don't get the player that is on his way to being that goalscorer. We get the player who used to be that goalscorer, when he is on the wane. His recent record isn't up to much, and if it was, they wouldn't have let him go.

Hope he still has something to offer and can re-kindle his form from his earlier days.


Won us a point today and did what was strange to others ---- scored, I will take that on his first outing

The wannabe bill posters using the image of Thomas Turgoose without permission might be a tad concerned too...

Yep, good on him. Was an easy finish but it's the good strikers that are in the right place at the right time. I did say i hope he recaptures earlier form.

I think we as town fans should all be backing the manager and team not protesting. Slade has moved on the dead wood and the players that don't want to be here. He's assembled an experienced organised team that will turn things round Jackson is a proven goal scorer 40 goals in 88 games for Rushden and Diamonds 04-08 shows that. All town are we and i think protesting will do more damage than good.

IN SLADE WE TRUST!!!
UTM!!!!


It was a pointless protest anyway. In the upper Findus we got a guy with a bed sheet and some spray paint thinking the whole stand would back him and when they didn’t he got abusive.
When are the fans going to realise that you need to be careful what you wish for.
Personally speaking if I was John Fenty getting this sort of abuse I would walk and call my loans in. I’m sure the 150 or so protesters can get a couple of million together to buy him out as they are all intelligent people who would know how to run a football club right ?

It was pointless in that it will not achieve anything in the short term, of course it won't, only money will do that.

The protest however is quite legitimate and long overdue. It is almost as pivotal a moment as Mr.Fenty being carried shoulder high from the pitch at Bournemouth for doing the quite remarkable job of masterminding avoiding relegation to non league. He learned a lot from that and the very next season..we got relegated to non league.  

GTFC will be here long after John Fenty has left. It has been in worse places before, and in much better places in its long and illustrious history, but it will not be in Fenty's shadow forever.

You are absolutely right, Joe Nobody, has got no cash and got no idea how to run a football club. I just hope we get some football fortune to get us out of non league next season where we can blow smoke up the board's bottom for more great management decisions.


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.
