Was thinking just this while watching the match. Cars parked inside the ground, big green waste bins filled to the gills on open view, decaying rubbish piled between the stands, SLO that doesn't do fans or away games, safety officer who can't control 50 Port Vale, knackered empty seats all in different colours of red, ugly cheap sheeting to segregate away fans. Welcome to a Fenty run club. What chance have we ever got to get things right on the pitch? Poundland owner creating a football club in his own image..


Like you, well like most of us I guess,I have noticed an apathy creeping in at how the club is run in all the off field areas.

Too many people have been there far too long, and have just become blind to it, which is a normal human trait. However, if that is transferred to a so called professional outfit, it sets the tone for other things.

Slapdash is the word I would use to describe GTFC; the owner has run out of ideas, and seeing as he is the only man who matters then the club is in a mess.

We urgently need a fresh start. If I was Fenty and didn't want to walk away I would hire a top class Operating officer to revamp the whole lot and breathe fresh life into it, with bonuses for attracting investment and getting Fenty his money back. It is not in his DNA sadly so we will remain pretty much as we are, but with a new first team manager I suppose.

GTFC is now in a death spiral to non league football.
We are now known as a conference or struggling league 2 team so nobody wants to come here.

It kills me to say it, but you are right. Just as we dismiss Macclesfield or Morecombe (!) other footballing people now dismiss us in the same vein.

It is criminal really, but we are now just bottom of league 2 /Conference fodder. Our glory days are so far behind us, nobody outside of Grimsby is bothered.
