“We were anticipating that we’d be playing again by April, and that sort of interruption wouldn’t have affected us unduly,” Mr Day added.

Very naive.

I mean, I guess now is not the time for bashing the club but this just makes you roll your eyes...so naive...

Anyone else starting to get the feeling that football in the lower 2 divisions is going to be a lot different when it starts up again ?

Agree as football is not relevant compared with other events taking place.
It does affect livelyhoods though,anybody who though normallity would return by April is way off the pace.

Don’t think it will just be the bottom two leagues as Premier & Championship clubs are very reliant on tv income and the rumours suggest these will not be paid and other than some ongoing sponsorship deals they have no income and large financial commitments. Thus when this all over the best guess is that large transfer fees will be no longer as clubs fight for survival and I have read on another site that one unnamed Premiership club is close to calling in the receiver.

Whether Grimsby have been naive is in reality irrelevant as what can they actually do about it?

These are troubling times as businesses, the housing market and people’s livelihood just fall in front of our eyes.

Very naive.


I don’t see what else they could do really?
As for being naive I think the majority of the country were thinking that this was going to blow over quickly!

Very true regarding the top 2 divisions. Perhaps they are , in reality, in a worse position than lower league clubs with their financial liabilities.

The decision which the club has taken isn't been questioned.
Anybody watching the news from China and the European countries which are weeks ahead of ourselves would know it wouldn't "blow over quickly"
