It's said the advantage of being a pessimist is it's a pleasant surprise when things turn out well.
The apparent low expectations mean you'll enjoy the play-off challenge even more.

Quoted from ginnywings
I'm struggling for enthusiasm. Last season took it's toll on me, and i really found it a strain to keep going until the end. I've not bought a season ticket, probably won't do now, and for the first time i can remember, i'm not looking forward to the kick off. I'm still ar$ed off at the board bringing back Slade and then sanctioning the sale or transfer of the sides better footballers, and bringing in so many loan players, we couldn't even name them all in the match day squad. Add to that the fiasco of the fans forum, a board member telling the punters to shut up, the whole chicken tray trophy saga and accusations of bullying. The Stevenage thing, the Port Vale game that ended in a near riot, Fentygate tapes, etc etc. I'm sure there's more that i've missed, but years of crap football and all the off field sh1te is starting to take it's toll.


All I can say mate is 2 year deals for player`s that the sign you should take notice of IMHO.Get that ticket the good times are set to roll again.UTM

I get a lot of comments, and England did very well and won over the majority of the country during the world cup.

But there is still nothing better than a visit to Blundell Park to watch the mighty mariners for me, I love it!

What you have to do is compare who the manager was at the start of last season,

Look at the players he brought in with some of the dross he inherited ,

Then look at the squad we have now under Jolley,

Things are only going to get better .

We gave two year deals to Scott Vernon and Paul Dixon in the previous two seasons.

I think our signings have been better than could have been expected, personally can’t wait for the first game.

I can't wait for the season to start which is the complete opposite to the start of last season! MJ showed last season that although he couldn't "polish a turd" at least he could put a bit of a shine on one! He has shown all the indications of a manager who has a game plan and also has another if things aren't going to plan. The players he released are pretty much what I expected and the ones brought in all have either experience or the potential to be real assets. It doesn't bother me that there are no " big name " signings so far as I believe that a well drilled team is the way forward. Quite often "prima donnas " can interrupt the changing room character.

Roll on  a week on Saturday and Village Green Rovers - Up The Mariners.

Quoted from Heisenberg
Other than buying the new shirt, I've not really thought about the new season at all.  I'll admit I'm still suffering from a World Cup hangover.  I LOVED the World Cup, loved the fact that the England team (that I personally had faith in when most didn't) did well (even though we should have made the final), and I'm still not over it.  It's still raw for me, and this season is coming too fast, I'm just not ready for 9 months of League 2 toil again.

Having said that, I'll jolt out of my malaise pretty soon, and hopefully some good results will do the same to most fans.

I think the lack of a big signing has done for most fans' enthusiasm.

Having said this, lets all be grateful this isn't another Conference season ahead of us!  How Wrexham fans feel nowadays, for example, I just don't know.  6 years was bad enough.  Never again.



I'll never be grateful to anyone at GTFC for not being a non-league club. Thankful to Jolley for his heroics, but grateful to no-one. For a club of our stature, potential and income, we've flirted far too long with that embarrassment..

Unfortunately I’m with Ginny on this but for me it’s the Slade factor and yes I know I should give myself a kick up the backside ,as things are at moment my plan is to see how things go and may buy a season ticket again at Xmas .I know MJ is saying all the right things and hopefully brought in better players but we’ll see ,my main focus is my grandson who has been accepted for GTFC futsal scholarship and always be a town fan as I have since 1962 but this season pick the match I want to attend
