This season

Do you know something, you lot who are not renewing, selling or sat on the fence re season tickets boil my urine tbh.
I am a Grimsby Town fan, a supporter with black n white in my veins, and I couldn't give 2 felicitations if were playing on Sunday at ploggers, this is our club, our team, our town, either you support it you don't.
We all called Lincoln supporters and the like "plastics" for rocking up when the going got good, but as soon as the excrement hits the fan our own duck for cover and throw their toys out the bath tub!!..
I'm sorry but I find it hard reading some of this, yes I get drunk off, skate intercourse out the players, the manager, coaching staff and sometimes the owners but I know this, I'll be there next week, the one after and until I'm incapable of going, I'll buy my tickets, take my seat and support my club, my team, my town.

If we're in the EFL next season many games will not be at 3pm on a Saturday. This is like a recipe to lose STH with matches being spread around the weekend and half the games (I think) televised. I can see a lot of people switching from most or all games to fewer games. The National League will be the last bastion of traditional KO times. Away fans at BP will be few and far between.

If this is the case it looks like match day income and STs will drop, which will cause a headache for JS & AP.

So recent form suggests we’ll be ok for 3pm starts at BP next season.

Yes but they get more tv money which is why they voted for it. Personally I think it is robbing Peter to pay Paul. People who attend games are sacrificed to the god of television as has happened higher up the leagues.

Quoted from ginnywings

I'll renew if we are a league club, but I'm not doing another non league season if we go down.

Probably the odd game here and there, but won't commit to a season ticket, and watching Town won't take priority if I have something else I would rather be doing.

Eaxctly the same for me. 100% renewal in the EFL but another season in the NL ......it is groundhog day and better things to waste my time doing. Sadly not just my sentiment , a certainty that the 2 next to me will do this as well.
The stakes are very high for the owners

Quoted from Limerick Mariner

Your last para is it. No grit and resilience that we showed at times last season from some of the same players in the squad, leadership lacking and absolutely brainless defending. It seems with PH we chucked the baby out with the bath water with the changes in the summer - we lost us shape, and with DA we don’t have any sort of identity - something he raised himself early doors but has not resolved at all.

At least last season we were a pain in the behind to play against with us shape - especially away from home. This season getting round the back of our defence is like taking candy from the baby…

People keep eluding to the owners wanting a certain style of football, I hope this is just white noise as I’d be really surprised if they’ve defined the way they’d like us to play this season, I’d also be really p1ssed off too.

Just stuck in the tele and Newport are playing Man Utd. Full house, meaning millions (total guess) that it’s brought into the local economy. Knock on effects of shirt sales, part time fans going to other games and a vested interest in the community and club as a whole, albeit for one day anyway. The clubs revenue will have taken a huge lift too.

I look at what we achieved last season, and wonder, we’re we unlucky in what we actually got in means of the cup draws or, did we gain more from not having these ‘glamour’ times and a quick buck.

What I know is, that the money wasn’t invested in the playing squad as well as we had hoped. And that any knock on effect in the season ticket sales is highly unlikely to go for another season. I think that the club have their work cut out to get maybe 4000 sth next year and there will be many more sitting on the fence unless there is some sort of dramatic turn around.

“Dave was always our first choice and was in the frame, but I’d never met him at that point but when we finally did meet, it was more impressive than we saw on paper. Possession-based football with a focus on youth is what we want and we look at David’s track record, with the ability to improve teams as a coach.”
