One of our fans racially abusing one of our own players (opposition player at the time admittedly, not that it makes it rght) then being allowed back into the ground.

Banning BBC Humberside like we're Man United.

Burton away when we were relegated.

Being the worst team in the league pyramid.

Rob Scott. "If ya dant like it dant fackin came".

Convicted fraudster being courted like royalty.

The fans (myself included) being taken in by Holloway.

Treatment of club legend John McDermott.

Lack of progress since promotion in 2016.

Relegation to non league again 2021 (hope I'm wrong)

A 'fan'  in a Man United top, invading the pitch against Barnet in the ill fated 2009/10 season.

The drunbings against Oldham, Braintree and Tranmere.

This thread is a damning indictment of lack of nous, PR and GTFC brand protection over the years, covering pretty much every single aspect of the club. Really looking forward to seeing what Shutes and Co can do. A few days or a week or two and then this shambolic amateurish era of our club will be finally over..

Our excellent pitch turned into a ploughed field as the groundsman was laid off to save money.

Selling Danny (forget surname) because we would not offer about £50 a week more.  He had a very good career at Palace.

Only having one pre-season friendly.

Being based in the wrong town.

Having a website where you cannot order what you want to buy.  I gave up.

Double booking seats for matches.

The (alleged) ‘Rumble in the Pub Car Park’ between the majority shareholder and the first team manager.

Grimsby Pete takes up the story, “It was a sorry sight to see men goading them on in such a barbaric fashion. And I'm rather ashamed to say I was party to that goading. And two men fighting as I saw in that car park that night, naked as the day they were born, and fighting the way God intended. Wrestling at points, I don't know if you've seen "Women In Love". There's a marvellous scene by the fire....... It kind of resembled that.”

FAC replay at home to lower-league team and part-timers Salisbury.  Extre-time.   We take the lead in ET.

Salisbury still beat us!!  Without penalties.

The board's answer to shift workers and exiles loyalty. Much heralded (by them) Self Select ticketing scheme. Overly complicated, buy twelve games get one free. Completely absurd and taken up by less than 20 fans..
