This is the Newport manager’s comments following his club captains decision not to re-sign for them: “But look, we're not competitive enough and that comes from the financial side of the league, we just can't hold on to these type of guys and the annoying part on my side is we're losing players to clubs like Harrogate, Oldham, I'm losing players to the likes of Grimsby.”

To me, I’m used to us being a Div 2 (now Championship) team. For 16-17 seasons we’ve been a team that’s either been struggling in the league or a team close to getting out of non league. A whole generation see us as an entirely different club. Why Newport are getting on the “likes of Grimsby” though is quite beyond me. Baldrick ! The only impression you can do is that of a man with no talent !! GTFC team 09/10 - Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick, Baldrick.

They also signed essentially the only 1 of our regular players from last season not to be offered a new contract this summer. Funny guy

A professional in the game knows we are usually higher in the pyramid than currently, and we have a proud history and tradition,  and if we compare the two clubs it is like chalk and cheese. I can understand a current generation of fans being dismissive because they've only seen us struggle. If Newport the place was like St Tropez then he might have a slight case, but Newport?!

When we were a Championship club, the commentators classic cliche for the the clubs battling to stay up in the Premier League was always 'You don't want to find yourself relegated with a wet midweek fixture against Grimsby to look forward to.' GTFC, bunging up the works since 1878. 😎 "Lovelly stuff! not my words but the words of Shakin Stevens."
