It's only division 4 FFS, we are Grimsby. Is it fair to say we are now the third best club in Lincolnshire? When are you people going to demand more?


Next season or the season after next.

Rome was not built in a day.

PS. Just heard we have won only 2 of our last 15 home games,

I demand that improves immediately.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

I started the season full of optimism but I've watched games against FGR & Yeovil, both of whom have also massively changed their squads, and both who have comprehensively outplayed us.


Yeovil didn't comprehensively out play us at all. Granted FGR did in the 2nd half of that game

Funny you should mention the sound system or lack of. We were saying the next we will see of that is when we must win a game to stay up. That is no reflection at all on Michael Jolley as I don't think for a minute we will be in any sort of trouble but that sums up the club mentality. Every single thing is reactive. What Lincoln have achieved on the back of one promotion from the Conference has been incredible, but I bet there is not one Town fan alive who expected our club to cash in our promotion in any way whatsoever.


But that's the point. One promotion should drive the next promotion - no-one should ever look to 'consolidate'. FGR are looking like the next one overtaking us at speed.

It's not them overtaking us-its us dropping behind. The reason there is not a bigger uproar over our performances is that it is expected that we are shite. We are in transition,takes time,we have no money to spend,our grounds falling down,training ground inadequate,Bignots fault,Slades fault,J.S.F.'s fault. Why do we keep making excuses. We deserve more than what is being served up. Our away following is more than a lot of division 1 clubs and what is our reward-call it what you like but it's shite served up on a platter

I blame it on our location  



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

We've lost at home to two teams that finished roughly level with us last season. Teams that have made similar levels of squad change to us.

You can’t compare us to FGR as they are being run as a vanity project and have a level of funding and debt way beyond ours.
