Yeah clearly nonsense. I heard we got £1.4m for Dembele plus 50% sell on.


You are joking Abdul we got 20 million and 99% sell on clause.

Someone said it's 3 wins in the last 15 home games.
Don't know how true it is but it feels like that ☹️☹️☹️


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.

3 in 16 i make it. After we beat FGR at the beginning of December, we didn't win at home (or away for that matter) until we beat Chesterfield in April. We won the next one too against Notts County, and that was the last home win. Pretty important one though.

Not pleasant reading is it?

Since we got promoted there have been 55 games at BP in all competitions. We have won 15, drawn 18 and lost 22.

Yep, and those 15 were league games. Not won a cup game at all.

9 wins in our first season back and only 6 last season. No wins yet this season at home.

A home win ratio, since returning to EFL football, of 27%. Cack.

Quoted from GrimRob
The table below shows the percentage of our points we get at home. It's been 10 years since we've managed over 60%! But that used to be the norm and if you go back to the 70s we were picking up 70% of our points at home.


If you break it down per decade

70s 71%
80s 61%
90s 60%
00s 60%
10s 53% (excluding this season)

It's too simplistic to blame it on the default scapegoat of the directors (although I am sure some will). Are we getting better away, or just worse at home? It's clearly a long-term trend, but why???


I think someone else pointed out this is a nationwide trend, not just a Grimsby thing. And the big drop came in the 80s when 3 points for a win was introduced. Before that hanging on for a draw was worth doing. Since then there's more incentive to go for that win. Which is riskier home and away. There was more to lose at home and more to gain away, so the results home and away have tended to the mean.


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.
