Not seen this get much of a mention, but thought it was too good an offer not to pick up on.

The club are offering a 5% discount on season tickets for any Mariners Trust member. At £12 per year, the discount on any adult ticket is greater than the cost of an annual membership - it essentially pays for itself!

Upper Findus - £17 discount
Lower Findus - £15.25 discount
Main Stand - £15.25 discount
Pontoon - £15.25 discount

So for a Trust membership that you can pay at £1 a month over a year(!), that will pay for itself nearly one and a half times over if you’re going to be getting a season ticket. It’s a no-brainier.

I’d rather give the club an extra £17 than give a useless cause £12. My interest in the trust vanished when they made the Findus bar members only, how much money did they miss out on then, we will never know.

I didn't know abut the Findus bar and that seems like a ridiculous thing to do, but I'll take the 5% as a positive move by the club (for once) to engage with the fans.

The Findus bar was Trust members and season ticket holders only for the 2016/17 season, but, to my knowledge it wasn’t this season. If it was, then no one was checking.

Lets get some facts and not rumour. The bar in the Lower Findus has not, and never has been, a members only bar.

Is that ‘members’ as in having a membership?  Or is it ‘members’ after the swear filter has kicked in ? 😄

As someone who drinks in there I was just wondering 😉


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'

Have to disagree Cloudy, you had to have a ST or prove you were a Trust member to get an entrance card. But anyway it hasn’t been like that for a year. It just I had to prove I was a trust member to obtain a card.

I got a card with my season ticket last season, for entry into the bar. I think it was more to do with it being rammed most games. This season, i didn't get one of those cards, but didn't really need it, as it was less busy, due to the drop in attendances at games. I've never been aware of having to be a member to get in there. My brother also had one of those cards and he has never been a member of the trust. He uses the bar more than me and never had trouble getting in, this season or last.

Fake News!

This is not the case, you never have had to be a member for entrance to the lower bar.

I realise that you will already be well into the long build up to Christmas Santa but for the sake of veracity I should point out that the Main Trust Bar (Lower Findus) has never been members only. The only time when we will have lost money on entry criteria is when the maximum allowed in the bar was reached.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.
