Why can't people on here let it go FFS.

If I want to donate then I will do, if you don't want to then don't. I am not going to let other people's opinions get in the way of what I see is fit and proper thing to do.

Why bring all this nonsense into it? It's become another board / Fenty bashing exercise like every other thread on here.


I know I said I wasn’t going to post on here for a while because the negatively is seriously getting me down, but I must just say that I couldn’t agree with you more if I tried. Up the Mariners.

Maybe if the board were not so mealy mouthed about the fans contribution, we wouldn't be having this apparent split between those that want to contribute, and those that feel once bitten, twice shy.

I'm sure OP did put a fair amount of pressure on the board to succeed that season, but somehow it worked and we got promoted. The noises coming from BP should have been a big well done to the fans for raising £100,000+ in double quick time and move onward and upward. But no, they had to let it be known that promotion was achieved despite the input of the fans, not because of it. That's almost certainly true, but they should have kept that to themselves and let the fans bask in the belief that they had played a major role in the success. It's just good PR.

If some folk are pointing out that they won't be contributing, and are stating the reason why, that's their prerogative. Each to their own.

Cutting a long story short I've fairly recently been 'homeless' for a very short time and now living alone so not got much money spare to just throw away.
So I've convinced myself I need a 'spring jacket' as I have the gtfc jumper, gtfc hoody and big gtfc coat so I've just bought that and a few other bits and bobs from the club shop amounting just over £35..
I know it isnt much but it is something extra for the club I guess.Once I get myself back on my feet and sorted then I'm sure i'll be able to donate or purchase more stuff to help our fantastic club.

Ps Kind of the reason I haven't been logged in for a long time on here but I guess the only way is up now! UTM!

I might get shot down for this but I don’t think the money raised between the crowdfunding and shares purchasing should be used to pay the players wages . Nothing against the players as I have sympathy for their plight but I feel the ££ should be used to for the upkeep of the clubs assets so that we’re ready to go when football starts again . The way things are looking it’s highly probable that we’ll be looking at an entirely new squad next year so paying the shortfall of wages won’t matter in the short term .

I can understand your view points but to suggest people are posting nonsense is cobblers, it is in the public domain what the board said about a previous donation so stop trying to pretend otherwise.

I'm trying to pinpoint when exactly GTFC changed from a football club I support to a charity I'm expected to support.

Maybe it wasn't nonsense at the time, but after all this time, the constant and incessant barrage of abuse towards the board is quite frankly getting bloody monotonous.. It's every thread they pounce on anything to bring it back up again and again. If you can't say anything new, the say nothing, if just to pacify the majority of Town fans, and boring old farts like me.

Thank you

UP THE MARINERS!
