| 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.

So is it a reward for the loyal support. Or just desperate measures to try and prevent an embarrassingly low Bank Holiday turnout ?
At the moment I won’t be going. Might change my mind but don’t think I will.
However, if MJ came out early and said he was giving the youngsters a game from the start then I would definitely be there.

You will be sat in the Findus and she will be sat in the main stand or the Osmond. doubt if she will be able to be sat next to you unless you ask everyone to move down.But then it is something to get the gate up-but why wasn.t something done throughout the season

So, if I'm getting this right due to the very late announcement.. The only time available to take up the offer of a free ticket with a season ticket for the Carlisle game is to go to the ticket office on the morning of the game and then go home again as the match kicks off more than three hours later and then make the same journey to the game later that afternoon. And all because they expect congestion for their staff who have to use a pen to tick off the season ticket book and print out a ticket? And also dole out refunds to those that have bought at full price and reprint another ticket out, even though possibly no one has bought one hence the panic at the club for a Bank Holiday fixture? And all the while the club staff are on the phone answering questions over the confusion or faffing about nature of the offer. Must be far easier than a click online and having a plastic credit sized card that could be swiped at the turnstile all in one go. And noticeably, with the average age of our fanbase increasing and the lack of younger support, the offer doesn't extend to junior season ticket holders who could have brought one of their mates along..
On top of that Carlisle are going to bring quite a few so the income from the travelling support will be cut by 30%, as it would likely to be too late to stimulate a spike in away support, while the expected tiny take up from the home fans for discounted tickets has no chance of offsetting that deficit. Season ticket holders can't even give their season ticket away never mind find someone else to go with of find poor souls that want to stump up fourteen quid to watch a team bereft of everything. Back of a fagg packet marketing using a tinpot system on a game that should have been left alone at this late stage and been better thought through and executed for the Crewe game..
It would be laughable if it wasn't my club..

Usually with my season ticket if i want to bring a friend along or a family member they try and charge me 13 quid to move my seat so we can sit together.
They speak to me like I am a piece of excrement for asking.
They can shove it for next season.

All my mates are dead so can I bring my dog. He likes to bark when Town score a goal. He hasn't been able to bark for such a long time and I would like to show him that it is not worth waiting and to think of something else to bark at.

GTFC treating the regular paying customer with contempt? What a surprise? Maybe this summer they’ll finally answer my question about why junior replica kits cost more than adult ones. |

If Town employed a PR person who's sole responsibility was to give out statements and to whom fans could go to with complaints or queries I am sure it would more than pay for itself over time.
We have been saying this for years and although there has been a little improvement this season because of MJ it still needs a lot of work but I can not see it happening until change at the top occurs .

We do are PR on the pitch hence I’m not going today , the whole experience from mardy office / ticket staff to inadequate facilities bores me I’m afraid. Every body involved in the club from the players to the board just seem to be going through the motions, without serious change many won’t be back next season |

I don't know what their attendance came out at today, but however many went along the got to see a few goals and a good win 4-0 against Cheltenham, whereas last week they never really had one attempt on goal apart from the one that the referee gave them on a plate |

Yes and that’s because we played well and didn’t give them the chance. People seem to ignore this fact as we didn’t win( and also they probably didn’t go so wouldn’t know)

3086 so a very good attendance for them. An extra 1000 or 50% on the gate at least. |

I phoned in advance as the earliest I could get there as an exile was 2.30. Told not to worry. Short queue, and the young chap in the ticket office found two seats for us in the Upper. Staff are fine but they have an outdated clunky system to work with. If there had been a large take up of this 'bonanza' we could have seen chaos. |

A single turnstile open for the Main Stand. Despite a pretty low gate there was a slight build up of fans waiting to get in at about 2:55.
It wasn't a major issue but opening one gate after a rallying call (as weak as it was) for extra support seems a bit bizarre. Almost as if the right hand doesn't know what the left one is doing...
Last home game is a complete and utter dead rubber. Neither side has anything to play for. There's a slight opportunity there to do some much needed PR rebuilding ahead of season ticket sales. Market it now as a chance to see the next generation, absolutely slash the ticket prices, do some work in the community to drum up ticket sales with the players going out to schools etc. Anything other than a statement that someone's written in 20 seconds and makes you feel like crap just for having the nerve to support the team.

You’re not wrong. Seeing the barriers put in to getting even the most minor concession from the club is really disheartening. It’ll come one day. |

Maybe we'll do something like my Sunday footy team used to do for the last game. Stick all the names in a hat and pull them out one by one per postition. Ring in goal, McKeown up front, Akeem Rose centre-mid. It'd be fun. |

The fact Greg Howard (sports scientist cum warm-up coach) screams at kids to throw balls back that have gone into the Pontoon during a warm-up, just sums up the clubs PR. Too much ego, and probably cost the club a few quid in future sales just because he can't use some manners.
