I don't know why I choose to go to Grimsby Live to look for alternative news on the Mariner's when this website is the holy grail of all things town, but what a shambles the telegraph website has become.

No news on town since 30th June and that was just them musing with the idea that we might sign another striker since Orsi left.

No news on the new strip
No news on the signing of Conteh
No news on the signing of the 2 keepers
We've even had a pre season friendly with no coverage whatsoever.

All there transfer news has been based on rumours on twitter, info from this site and seemingly no journalism or interviews with staff members whatsoever. Do they even have a dedicated sports team anymore.

Needless to say, I've lost all interest and patience now and won't be revisiting

Something seriously wrong with Grimsby Live. Said to the wife how they haven't covered any of our recent signings or game GTFC. Embargo? Thought we were supposed to at the heart of the community?

GI Media are our official media partners. Radio Humberside get access too. Anything in the Telegraph is something that is already in the public domain and covered by someone else.

I dare say the clickbait drivel produced by the likes of Elliott Jackson and his replacement Sam Allen has been part of that move away from them. A real shame because James Findlater played a huge role in exposing Alex May.

They were churning out loads of articles, quite frequently as well and then absolutely nothing since 30th June. It's only something that seems to have become apparent over the last week.

I'm an exile and I haven't looked at it for Town news for a long time. In fact I'd more or less forgotten about it's existence.

For context and some consolation - the site is owned by Reach Media who have similar local sites all over the country and Grimsby's is far from the only one that is sh*t. I wouldn't go to my local one for local news either.

Sad to see what it's become as the Telegraph was once a must read. I remember when Geoff Ford was sports editor, he knew the Mariners inside out and I couldn't wait to read it every day. They also did those huge pre season preview pullouts.
