Who's up for Saturday? Let's hope that in the next few days MJ & his team can find this high-energy, athletic formula that we were promised when the signings were being made. I hope that the higher tech sound system makes an appearance to keep us old duffers awake and that we can at last see a home performance worthy of the name.

Time we saw a team worthy of a new community stadium where the main winners will be the population of Grimsby as opposed to some developers lining their pockets.

OC...I turn up every game thinking "this is the one, we match we really turn it on and smash 4 goals in and run the opposition ragged"....but, unfortunately I tend to go home with a whitesnake sing blasting in my ears......"here we go again"...another 90 minutes of disappointment...so, positivity I'd like to have but I'm afraid it's more of a malaise that's set in yet again....

Just spoken to my brother and he's bailed. Said he can't take any more and isn't going on Saturday. I must admit that after 46 years loyal support, i'm definitely starting to waver. I'd put my chances of being there on Saturday as 50/50. It's not just the football either, it's the whole GTFC experience. The board really sank to new depths for me last season, and it still rankles.

If we can see a performance of the likes of Lincoln and Mk games, of fight, passion, commitment, then Town can start to push on again, I'm totally baffled why we haven't seen anything near these two games since. Utm

It rankles with me too but I've come to the conclusion that my love of GTFC is greater than any negative feeling towards the board. I'm hoping to be supporting the club beyond the point where the current incumbents are in charge, but it is dragging and I am beginning to wonder!

Whilst there is atill a minute possibility of a move to utopia the “immovable objects” that sit at their self created top table nothing’s changing.

Their problem is that they think small if you think that way that’s what the output generally is.

It wont work though sadly; if he has to make up any shortfall he gives us another benign loan which he expects to be repaid.

I suppose if the support was very very poor for a long time he might have a problem, but he even survived the non league years when crowds generally were much lower.

If you don't go, you just might miss a classic. I remember when we hadn't scored for 6 games and were, I think, 4-0 up at half-time at Boston. I was fortunate enough to be there and it's one of my favourite football memories remembering the joy and disbelief on people's faces. Football can be crap, disappointing and brilliant, you just never know!
