Everything that Ollie has done so far has been nothing short of remarkable. The players he’s signed, the positivity and passion he’s brought, the style and identity that we are forming too.

He has swept the town off it’s feet since his arrival and I really hope that it continues with the same momentum. I hope this doesn’t change, once he’s started attending the Board meetings with Squeaky!!

One thing I did pick up on today, which was an absence of the normal, was that he shook hands with the opposition management team and headed straight down the tunnel. Very unusual for him.

Long may his presence continue, he’s brought the feel good factor well and truly back!! What an inspirational fella!!

I think he likes the passion here and with his determination and spirit, he is here for the long haul which is the vibe he is giving off.

Let's get the new ground  built and see how far he can take us, we needed someone to believe in, along comes Ollie, we need a new ground, Freeman Street is in the heart of the Town history, come Fenty you can do it.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

I’m still surprised how few were there yesterday. I know the weather must have had some influence, and it takes time for lapsed supporters to return, but still surprised.
If we carry on playing like this, we must be getting sellouts very soon surely.

Made a quick exit because his wife was in the stands I suppose, that would seem to be a normal thing to do

When was the last time we had a sell out for any match? Don’t even think the PO semis in the conference were sold out.

If we had been playing a team with anything close to a standard away following you’d be looking at 5k which isn’t bad given the conditions.

Still surprised how bad away attendances are in this league, absolutely pathetic on the whole. How many times have we had over 500?

He lacked his usually energy in the post match interview.  Maybe he's under the weather.  After all, he's only human, isn't he?

He'd promised Kim he would take her to look around a charity shop, before it shut.

I wish that we were playing Chelsea next week with this team and our new attacking-style.  With Robson as well.  With Ollie we would give a much better account of ourselves.   There would be respect for Chelsea but little or no fear.  We would take the game to the when we could.

This is how far we how come in such a short time.  I have to pinch myself to see the quality of new players brought in.  And the improvement in the existing players.  Not sure how Ollie and the team have achieved this.

Bring on next season!  We have hope and excitement again.

Love the bloke, he's a breath of fresh air after the last couple of inept managers we've had at the club. I bet it's great to play under him if you're the sort of lad that wants to give his all. We've improved beyond recognition, the lads he's brought in have improved the first eleven, we have a proper gameplan and we are playing incisive attacking football. But, sorry there is a but we haven't achieved anything yet. I'm confident Ollie will do wonders at the club but let's save the 'fairytail' stuff until we are in League One at least! Until then, give him and the team our full support, do our bit and I'm confident we have a real future and our twenty years of hell will be at an end. UTM!
