Thanks to my railcard and bus pass I managed to keep expenses down to £90 today. Many family groups will have spent much more. These are the sums Mr. Marley fails to compute. Whether we survive in the EFL or not there has to be some return or involvement for the investment fans make.
On arriving home an hour ago, family circumstances have changed and I am now unable to make it next week. No pang of disappointment sadly.
As ever, Chaos and Ginny speak the hard truths.

So there's twelve games left, twelve games for GTFC fans to do everything they can to contribute towards their beloved club from falling into the abyss and probably never to return.
Is it the right time to decide not to go and support the team? Is it the right time to protest against the board during games? Is it the right time to berate those under-performing players that have let us down so badly this season?
As you rally around your club at this desperate hour, try picturing this..
When the players are out there on the pitch, blank out whichever player is wearing the kit and just fixate on his shirt. Just eleven Grimsby Town shirts moving around the pitch because it's all that matters. Those players will be gone by next season, yet the shirts will remain. Those black and white Grimsby Town shirts. We need a raft of new players under a new manager playing in League Two next season in those famous black and whites.
Can we support those shirts for twelve more games? Can we put aside the "Fenty Out" chants because he's got the message already?
By all means rant and rave on The Fishy as it's the right place to vent frustrations, but can we all do our bit? Not let these twelve games pass us by in a haze of fury and impending disaster and simply support those shirts to safety and the rest will sort itself out when our goal is achieved..
This sums up entirely my view. I do not think I could survive (in a footballing sense) another relegation. With that in mind, difficult though it might be, and God knows at times today I was screaming at certain players, as a fan all I can do is try to get behind the team and ignore my prejudices about certain individuals. As a fan it is all I can do and barring (further) ill health I'll be at every one of those remaining 12 games...UTFM |

800 of us in Cambridge clearly shows we care. Yes a large amount of that number (myself included) attended due to the bald one being sacked and expecting some kind of change!
19 mins in we conceded a rather simple goal and that was that unfortunately. We knew that this team has no fight in them. Their heads dropped and unfortunately did ours. And at full time how many of the 800 was left?
Worried for our clubs future. Really cannot imagine non league again, yeh we had a few laughs but do we really need to be in that mess again!?
Depressed and deflated but as always GTID

Mental strength will certainly play a part, and I do wonder if some of the players are up for the fight. I noticed that Sam Jones isn't featuring much at Shrewsbury due to his fitness levels, so whilst technically we aren't very good anyway, I do wonder about whether our fitness levels are at the level they should be. We seem to be folding very tamely in games, and very really are able to get back into matches if the other teams score first. Whilst we're still 9 points off relegation the home games against Port Vale, Barnet and Chesterfield are crucial, and we need to be a leaner, meaner team, that's prepared to fight if we are going to start winning games again...UTM.

I can't copy and paste on this cheap tablet but apart from Jones and Jamie Osborne who only played the last 4 minutes and neither scored, we still have the team who beat Swindon 3-2. If Dembele is fit, why not try that against Exeter. We could replace Jones with one of Wilks or Jackson.  |

We seem to be posting the same remarks every week, it's getting so frustrating! |

York got in the Div 2 playoffs. Then had 2 consecutive relegations (the first with Berrett and Summerfield in CM). They also spent 10 years plus trying to get a new ground. Also have had the same Chairman for many years who repeatedly showed bad judgement in appointing bad managers, who then brought in generally poor players. The Chairman has been tight with funding but has kept the club going; but he wants control of all the shares. He conflicts with the Trust and the fans. Many fans have lost trust and hope for any future success. These factors were significant in their fall from grace. Good job Town have a different business model for failure.  |

If you buy a Ticket on the day or have a season ticket (like me) you are then supporting the club and players and if you pay your money you can complain in whatever way you wish (I just urine off to the club when it's excrement. I'm now a alcoholic)if that's with banners or changing Fenty out then so be it.
A lot on here go on about the way people should support the club and they never go to the games themselves FFS

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.
