Quoted from diehardmariner
Left me feeling a bit deflated seeing 3 back-to-back home fixtures designated as 'Bring a Buddy' games.

No issue at all with the club trying to rally decent numbers in what, on paper, look like the fixtures were the gate would drop a bit.  

But I really thought and hoped that we would struggle to fit these initiatives in this season, think last season there was only one game much later in the season that was used for it.  For it to be rolled out this early just feels a genuine reflection of how disappointing the first quarter or so of the season has proved to be.
All this reminds me a bit of the numbers game and business. Saw something similar on Sunderland till I die on Netflix when new owners tried to get as much people into the stadium as possible and hit targets. In fairness to the Grimsby owners I think there's more attachment as they come from the local area . You can't force people to come though as people will have other things to do on a weekly basis ( with football not being a priority for some ) besides watching lower league football which at times can be good but other times more a endurance particularly if it's a bad game.


One life,one love .

Quoted from Mappers
I didn't think the Wimbledon and Salford games were too bad and Gillingham was really good , Mansfield will probably win the league so that was a good point and we hung in there - thereafter obviously it's been below par and people are jumping on that .

If we look at it as a whole the Buddy's have a 50% chance of a decent game and performance .....wait and see ,I'm  trying to remain optimistic whether that's with Hurst in charge or not .

We have such a great run in with all those bigger teams at home after Xmas, let's just hope it's not with us in a relegation battle with the park packed out once again for all the wrong reasons .


I did come to BP to watch the Wimbledon game and thought we were average. What did impress me with Wimbledon was the speed and pace of some of the Wimbledon players. It reminded me of when, years ago, West Ham came to BP. Trevor Brooking and all jogged around the pitch while our team played like terriers chasing rats ( not that Brooking & Co are/were rats).

Today's team, with the exception of an inform Harry, always seem so slow compared to the opposition.


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

We’ve 1200 Osmond seats to fill for these games and we are bottom half L2. Can’t blame 1878 for trying…

Efete possibly the quickest physically however crosses the halfway line at a rate of knots and ends up turning back instead if bombing on.

Only without the ball, he is unable to control it well enough to be quick with it. Hence why he never takes anyone on with the ball and beats them but passes (usually backwards) instead.
