This is one of the most entertaining threads I have ever read on the fishy, if you didnt laugh you would cry or worse.
What happened with "the orange" ?

😂


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The indecipherable tannoy system.

This thread would be funny, if not for the fact that its actually very tragic.

The club we love has become a shambles and a laughing stock. Think back to 1998. We had a great manager, a great team, and we were returning to what had become our natural home, the championship.

We were famed for punching above our weight, and for playing attractive attacking football.

We had recent victories at Stamford Bridge, St James Park, Goodison, Bramhall Lane, Hillsborough, and would go on to win at Anfield.

The town was rightly proud of its football club.

But look where we are now, what we have become. It is mortifying.

The first 23 seasons I lived through (I turned 40 last October) we spent...

18 seasons - Championship
3 seasons - League One
2 seasons - League Two


...and then Fenty came along.

Couple of gentle ones:

Fenty calling Radio Humberside telling them to stop asking questions (and then calling our manager 'Rob Hurst').

Telling players to get a part-time job in the summer.

Official website publishing directions to Southport for a friendly at Gainsborough.


classics!

A brief story that backs this up:

After the Wimbledon FA Cup game me and 2 mates were in a pub not far from Covent Garden. A bunch of Chelsea fans walked in who were a bit lippy and started asking guys what games they'd been to. When they came to us we were a little bit worried that we would get a hiding (we were all lovers, not fighters). When we said we were Grimsby fans we firstly got congratulated for how hard our supporters were (!) and then were congratulated for the football we played and how nobody fancied playing us.

Allied to this, my best mate is a season ticket holder at Everton. For many years he dreaded the draw for the 3rd round of the FA Cup in case they drew us because he was convinced that we would beat them and he would never hear the last of it from me. In any conversation about football with others the great Everton side in the 80's would be brought up and everybody would get all frothy about Peter Reid et al but he would never make eye contact with me because he knew I would bring up how we beat that team at Goodison.

For any Town fans under the age of 30 - that's what it used to be like supporting Town. It was f*cking great.

Serge Makofo saga.... wasn't he signed on a 3 year deal by Woods and then after a couple of weeks they said they had signed the wrong player and we had to pay him out his contract when he eventually left.

There have been to many to list(all involving Fenty)

The most embarrassing were the photos of May walking into BP and sitting on Days knee in the Directors box.


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.
