Supporter Behaviour Panel

Dale thinks he's highlighting problems but what he's really doing is highlighting his own inability over the years to get any measure of control of these situations by using modern, forward-thinking practices.

Quoted from NorthseaMariner

Please excuse my ignorance, but MT and FOTF. What does it mean?

Mariners Trust & Fans of the future both independent bodies of supporters trying to engage and make a difference who have put in a lot of time and effort to repair relations between Club and fans. Todays BS article will have undone most of the good work done over the Summer Nick Dale needs to retract that article and apologize or be sacked for his undermining of the Club and it`s supporters.In the event his comments had some validity why do ONLY GTFC have a 40% re offending statistic because I would argue that is purely down to his bad management?

Quoted from promotion plaice

Seeing as you've brought it up I also didn't renew my season ticket, pay as you go for me for now.

Sadly we are not alone . The day the regime changes I will be renewing.

Thanks for clarifying that Mick, and for what it’s worth, I agree with you totally.

Once again the fantastic supporters of GTFC are being demonized without real cause. The idle local rag uses images from 2016 showing in the main Sheff Utd supporters . Nick Dale comes out with his bile yet on his watch how many incidents actually inside Blundell Park have we had ? In my opinion they are getting there ducks lined up prior to any carnage at games versus Bradford and Scunny because they dont have the resources or intelligence to counter it.

This is so frustrating. Most of the incidents that have occurred in recent times have often involved people who are not even going to the game let alone being Town fans!

After the Huddersfield home game in the FA Cup in 2014 me and my mate were walking back to his car when we encountered a frothing at the mouth middle aged bloke who was on his phone to another probably equally frothing at the mouth bloke declaring "he could not wait to kick Yorkshire twits head in". We were wearing our Town tops so he ignored us, but it was clear he had not been anywhere near Blundell park for the game and had we of said anything he would have had a go. Yet we are demonized for it this sort of behavior.

I cannot think of many other examples in British society where the majority are still condemned by the action of the few, often who are not even football fans at all.

Hundreds of Town fans many of whom I know are planning on going to Morecambe I have not seen a single one suggest they were travelling other than to enjoy there weekend and support the team . They will pour thousands of pounds into Morecambe on the day in pubs and eateries and I dare say the locals will be delighted and I would be surprised if there are more than a couple of arrests for drunk and disorderly out of around 1k travelling fans.Most Bradford fans would have come to Clps with the same mentality a week later now having read that any Mum or Dad who was coming with youngsters will be demanding a refund.

Could not agree more.

Father, Son & Grandson treated like dirt at more than one away game. All because of a few idiots.

Exactly, like 99.99% of the fans we have, all we care about is having a good day out and supporting the team. You always get idiots but that is not just restricted to football.

I mean look at the headline in the telegraph FFS:

The battle to rid Grimsby Town of its hooligans - including a 68-year-old pensioner - and the strict new restrictions the club wants

Click bait balderdash by an amateur outfit.  

The worst thing is it is reporting like this and simply ridiculous notions by individuals like Nick Dale that lead to incidents like Stevenage away.

This creation of a "reputation for hooliganism" which is being stoked by the GT today will lead to more days like that one away.

Grimsby Town like most Clubs have had so called hooligans attached to them for 50 years yet none of the other 91 football league clubs felt the need to speak out hmmmmmmmmmmmm?
