Quoted from golfer
It would be good news if the news was that we had signed a striker who could actually score goals


If only one of our new strikers had scored today.

If you must, Poojah.  I imagine it's addictive getting lots of green ticks.

We might well get promoted this season, but League One is likely to be our ceiling.  I can't get excited about the future until the club announces it is relocating to a bigger stadium.



I can only imagine how miserable those Luton fans must have felt watching their team reach the Premier League.

Not really the thread for it, but since you raised the issue: a new stadium for Grimsby Town, of the size and standard I think fans would reasonably expect, would cost somewhere between £40m - £50m in the current economic climate. I 100% get the need for and benefit of a new stadium for a club in our position, and as a self-confessed stadium nerd would love nothing more, but can you just do me a favour please and break down how we raise that sort of money?

If you can answer the question sensibly, I imagine there's a job on the board waiting for you.

There is no one better qualified to answer that conundrum than the co-owner of the club; one Andrew Pettit.

Just about everyone on the forum has had a different idea about what sort of ground we need and where it should be, and failing that, multiple different ideas about how to upgrade BP, but until and unless the co-owners come up with a cogent, costed plan, it's all gammon and spinach.

That defending was shocking, Their guy didn't even have to move to get away from our defenders he was just stood still and no one within a couple of yards.

Defensive lapses, free headers happen.

Quoted from Chrisblor


Donovan Wilson has scored 3 goals in 4 appearances so far this pre-season (with 2 of those goals coming against higher league opponents). Pyke's on 2 in 2 as well. What more do you want?


Sadly Grimsby Borough ain’t in League 2 this year
