Who is eligible to vote though? What do you define as a "fan". Some people call themselves that but may never go to BP or even consider it.

We aren't talking about the past though,this is about a change of ownership.
So what would be your ideas and thoughts on that??





But the past is the reason for change. 16 years in which the club has gone downhill both on and off the pitch where a large slice of the fan base have either stopped going or go because they support the club rather than the regime that runs it. We are hearing nothing from the board now about progress or otherwise with the stadium, we are hearing nothing from Extreme, the only positive noises are coming from Pete Wheatley and Ray Oxby - the way we're going we might become NELC FC.

A change of ownership - as everything else - is in Mr Fenty's control, he can dictate what he wants to happen. Even the shares that the Trust gifted him, what happens to them?

So enlighten ourselves with the plan going forward after JF's departure??


JF has gone on record saying that he wants out and he's written the loans off in his head. These are facts.

JF and SM have said they have exhausted all of their contacts to try and raise investment. This is a fact.

So in effect these are their best efforts in trying to sell the club to a third party and this where it beggars belief if we are to take them at their word.

When you decide to sell your car how do you go about making sure it's sold? Call everyone in your contacts and ask them if they want to buy it and give up because none of your contacts want it? Or, like everyone else who genuinely wants to sell their car, do you advertise it for the world to see and some unknown person you've never met before comes along and buys it? GTFC has never openly or publicly been put up for sale.

Until we see our club publicly put up for sale we cannot take anything the board say on the matter as being nothing other than short term lip service rather than any genuine attempts to find a new investor..

Let's see the club being openly put up for sale JF, if you're a man of your word, back those words and let's see a really genuine and public attempt to find new investment and a fresh new future for the club, because the status quo isn't healthy for anyone involved..

No one will know who he will be, but there'll be somebody out there somewhere with more money and acumen that wants to buy a Football League club with a fresh start and new stadium in the offing. They may not love the club as much as you, at least not at first, but, looking back at the past seventeen years, we can all see that sometimes loving a club is nowhere near enough to make a success of running it..

There are many reasons why fans have stayed away ,and some have done so for years ,it does not mean that they are not fans any more. The point is we need change and need it badly . And we need it quick,

My concern is that once fans have given up on the club, we'll never see them again, whatever happens on or off the pitch. My dad and his circle of friends stopped going after the first season with Mick Lyons in charge. Never been back since.

Whoever runs GTFC it will not be a wealthy club and will have to operate within it's means. That means finding a manager who can work on a shoestring budget and make the best of it. I think it goes without saying that a good leader could increase people through the gate and do more to market the club in he community and we are failing in that respect today
Wycombe became a supporters trust club when the previous owner left and are truly potless. The difference is that Gareth Ainsworth performs miracles with the worst paid squad in league 2 last year and more loanees than any other club. It's ok to say Wycombe are better located but I'm guessing nobody wants to move Grimsby so we have to get on with it.
Since Hurst left we've had the wrong people in charge of the team and the wrong people in charge of the club. I'm impressed that despite the quality of football most fans seem to like MJ and are willing him to succeed but I'm starting to think we're in big trouble regardless of JF

Fenty isn't spending money at Town and hasn't been for years.
