In 4 years with PH in charge we never "romped" the National League.


  Stockwood backs hurst on Twitter but will he be allowed to bring in the standard of player needed for our non league visit to be a short one ?

I can't believe you're knocking the new owners before they take charge. For crying out loud give them a chance to say what they'll do once they own the club.

Complain if they want to add a new portacabin, ground improvements in 17 years' time, and looking at Cleethorpes Town and Grimsby Borough for new players.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

They will have to dig deep to cover probably higher wages for better quality players as well as the guaranteed shortfall for not being in the EFL.

Quite apart from the failings on the pitch is the incredibly inept failure to move to a new stadium. 17 years to organise a relocation? Unbelievable.


Has it ever been disclosed just how much the relocation "strategy" cost?

I guess it's hidden away in past accounts but it makes you wonder how much has been "invested" ( and I use that term very loosely ) in moving us on from BP

I'm guessing it's in the hundreds of thousands and what do we have to show for it.... I guess some folk still have their caps from 2002

That's not the way I read it; apologies if I misunderstood.

Hundreds of thousands were written off if I remember correctly. When Fenty finally accepted Great Coates was never going to happen years too late. I’ll try to dig out the details when I can be arsed. They weren’t hidden in the accounts. They were in plain sight.


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.

Those at the top of the club never deserved the fanbase that our club has or had and it's been embarrassing over years, with comments from certain members who make the decisions.

I've been floating around youtube looking at some videos and we've had some very impressive followings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i_7DUAvpqw&ab_channel=OfficialGTFC

One of many examples that shows how the fans have kept the club as relevant as possible, what a shame it was never reflected by those at the top.
