I know we had an unfortunate result today but are we any closer to achieving B corp status, it seems to have gone a bit quiet

B-Corp is this showers only concern, then stockwood can go to his guardian luvvies and say look what I have achieved in that northern excrement hole I got out of at first opportunity.

This club is in turmoil but the happy clappers won’t realise until it’s too late.

intercourse the B corp
Left wing loads of absolute balderdash.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

I try to be polite at times, but intercourse me, some folk talk a load of excrement at times. Yes, the game was excrement, but aren't you an adult? Learn some emotional management. You don't need a scapegoat to channel your frustration into.

I actually think it will do us more harm than good, and is a bit of a vanity project for the owner who wants to continually show how elevated his principles are.

He seems to want to deal with people who share these lofty ESG type commitments. Most people have sound values, certainly any that he would deal with regularly,  but most people and businesses are not interested in these artificial constructs but prefer to conduct themselves in a more rational way than forever making sure they are on the right side of the B Corp regulations.

He mentioned many months ago about not wanting / needing new investment until they are the right  people and I suspect he means he only wants to work with people who have "values" that align with his in this particular way.

I, like most of us, am intensely proud of my set of values and the way I lead my life but I wouldn't need a list of rules attached to it given to me by a third party.

He obviously feels it will open some doors to us unavailable to other clubs, but I would have thought his personal reputation and business acumen would have done that in the first few years without using valuable resources and time on it at the moment.
