Hurst simply didn’t get Grimsby and the fans. Jolley simply does. I suspect Buckers does too. He used the little old Grimsby perfectly.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

My one thought was that the promotion squad was successful and therefore confident, but for whatever reason it was dismantled and players came in from clubs that had just been relegated.

I always liked Hurst even though I'd agree he was too cautious and inexplicably willing to "take on" his own fans. I think his biggest mistake was panicking to build a squad for league 2. He needlessly ripped the heart out the promotion side. He allowed hugely popular players like Amond and Arnold to leave, and played Berrett and Summerfield ahead of  Disley.

Quoted from moosey_club


but also the truth....every recent manager has said exactly the same, the infrastructure is way behind, the sports science, facilities, fitness, dietician etc
Our spell in non league may be used as an excuse for that so Hurst may feel that by getting us out of there and the additional income generated should have allowed him to improve that.  But not a chance with the tight ship finances we have.

We all know what happened at the end of that season and the failings of the club to profit out of the feel good factor from turning over the Veggie Green Rovers.







Couldn’t agree more. Having had a chat with PH since he left, I’ve no doubt that he expected to be able to bring in support staff in line with other League 2 clubs.

Agree with a lot of this. Thought Summerfield was ok though. Berrett was a flaccid penïs.

Berrett was tosh and summers was better but in truth not much better , ran around a lot but never really achieved much. The lads we have in midfield nowadays are much better

Actually Buckley made several disparaging comments about Town fans if they had been vocal about a poor performance.

If you read some recent comments from Amond it suggests Hurst wanted him to stay but wasn’t given the funds.
