That`s all folks we won`t have any gloating Imps or Scunts to contend with we can look forward to a quiet Summer on that front.We have the distraction of the World Cup with zero expectation so we could have some enjoyment or misery there? Roll on August I think we will have some great expectations for next Season.UTM

We don’t need other teams fans on here, 5 of the 7 top threads on here at the minute are bloody Lincoln related anyway!


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Most of the GTFC fans on here seem to lick the behind of other teams at every opportunity, especially Shrewsbury. A couple at borderline ready to jump ship and support Shrews by the sound of it.

He certainly hasn't got a Sunni disposition has he.


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.

Let's hope we don't have to listen to our manager telling us we have to remain patient as all the players are considering offers and we need the right player in. In late July as John Fenty refuses to sanction paying players wages out of season meaning we are desperately trying to sign bargain basement players nobody else wants. I have no confidence anything will change while he remains the majority shareholder.

Not really more a case of envy rather than changing elegancies, we all want GTFC to be a well-run successful club, not a shambles. Once a mariner always a mariner.

I fear you are going to be spot on

Jolley is merely an employee of the club, of Mr Fenty. Fully expect MJ to be rummaging through the bargain bin once more in July / August and beyond. Then a stream of loan signings as we panic, moving on to 35 year old free transfers when the window closes and the noose tightens.

Sorry if I sound pessimistic as I rate Michael Jolley highly. It's just under JF we have actually been relegated from the Football League once, would have been again if Luton didn't have a 30 point deduction and came close again last season. If we do well, I fear we will lose MJ who like Paul Hurst and Chris Doig couldn't get away from him fast enough. And you do hear things, almost from the horses mouth about manager / Fenty relationships. Also, the six month contract puts us at risk of losing him to predatory clubs.

I think and hope you will be wrong. The difference is that through Dyche and his work with the Under 23’s he will have contacts, and his personality and what he has achieved in his short time here will make a few sit up and notice and hopefully a few people will actually WANT to play for HIM. The only people who wanted to play for slade were his old mates (same with Wilco) probably because he was known for being old school, uninspiring and on the way down, whereas the opposite is true (hopefully) with Jolley ie young, new ideas, on the way up. This could make the difference in attracting a player who is young, hungry and wants to improve compared to being desparate and making last minute over priced signings such as Dixon.

I could be completely wrong, but at the moment I am still feeling positive, let’s hope it continues.

MJ will ,the best out of what he has got unlike Slade,

That worries me a bit because I think Fenty  see's MJ getting us a bit of success on the cheap.

I hope Michael can talk some sense into his closed mind or MJ  will soon get fed up and leave for better things,

I hope Jolley does not have Hurst's phone number because if he does he will soon find out we are not talking rubbish about Fenty.
