New website and badge

I’m totally with you here Rodley.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

I thought we'd moved on from driving people away from the club who want to be involved because they don't do absolutely everything we want exactly as we want it.

I thought we'd moved away from people representing the club; either directly or indirectly; in such an aggressive manner.

I appreciate his efforts and he's been let down by the clubs handling of the situation but his passive aggressive ramblings have clearly rubbed people up the wrong way.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

intercourse me. Obviously not a big town fan because despite doing a load of work for free he doesn't know about Fair Game.

Perhaps harsh - but maybe someone who has spent 3 years pro bono improving (in his own mind) arguably the most recognisable thing to outsiders about the club and probably the very last thing that needed ‘improving’ would consider the reaction it might get?

A week ago I didn’t give two shits but the excrement comms by our supposedly clearer board in the initial announcement, last night with the dummies out poll and this mornings u-turn and then this arrogant nob’s statement I am fully against any changes. I’m a bit too mad about it too and I know I am but this was all avoidable.

This.

If I was JS and AP I would be wondering what the hell they had let themselves in for.

Fair play to the guy for working on it in his own time for 3 years but it doesn’t mean that everyone will like it . Im sorry but the flag looks shi.te , doesn’t matter if you work for Apple or Aldi .

Hard to comprehend what an absolute mess this has become completely unnecessarily.

It's not really a statement is it - he's not an employee. It's basically a long and angry tweet. From someone who is really drunk off he's being pulled apart for trying to contribute. It's prickly and terse and written in anger but he's not in comms is he? He's a designer. Who despite having a successful career and working thousands of miles away tried to do something to help Grimsby Town Football Club and in return gets this excrement.

You talk about the 'most recognisable thing to outsiders' being changed. Tell me what negative impact that flag will have on anybody or convince me anyone who doesn't support Town would even spot it. As opposed to the clear positives and benefits that have been explained more than once but people repeatedly choose to ignore.

Rich Lyons might be an bottom or he might be a great bloke. I have no idea. But I hate that he's tried to do something to help and is being treated like this. And I really hate the idea that 1878, who have acknowledged they copulated this up, might think it would be easier to have left us rotting in the past with our hand drawn badge and John Fenty. If you want them to change things and make them better then you won't like everything they do and they will make mistakes. And if people want to be consulted about every single decision they make they are going to be disappointed because you can't run a business or a football club like that.

I’ve got a feeling this is now getting fuelled by beer this time on a Saturday night . Moment of clarity talking.

The problem is the way that it's been done.

I can appreciate the artwork Rich has created, I actually quite like it as badge and the way it's presented, it feels slick in the animation showing the geometry, but not as a badge for our club, it feels a bit of a franchise decision and it doesn't sit well with me as it's an isolated decision and that's not how things should be done for a football club's branding.

It is not unreasonable for the client base to have opinions on their investment, as in, football club supporters, they're probably the most passionate section of our society.

If there was a time for the Trust to have a purpose it is on this.

It’s a little bit self important and dramatic. I’m sure he’s put a lot of work into it, but even if it had been the best design ever I am not sure it would’ve been well received because the majority of people don’t want it to change.

The owners admitted it was a mistake and in reality it’s a minor issue.
