This season

Quoted from diehardmariner

Don't get me wrong ginny, I probably would be saying "I'm done" if we went down again.  

But I don't think we'll be in that situation.  

Was a thread before Xmas about enthusiasm for the football at the club and I was open enough to say I've struggled with it at quite a few points in the last decade or so, it's become less and less important to me and far more about the social aspect than the spectacle itself.

But that's come when we've sat in the league playing much bigger sides than Kings Lynn and the higher points of interest have come at times when we've been playing proper non-league minnows.  That's the nature of football and sure as hell it's the nature of GTFC, you get sucked back in before you can pluck up enough courage to fully leave.   Some will call it battered wide syndrome, some will call it an addiction.  Whatever it is, I honestly can't see a large percentage of fans not going because we're in non-league (myself included despite insisting I would stay away).

But I really do understand why people feel this way after Saturday.  I'm not going to clog up this thread with ripping apart the performances, but that's exactly the type of shower that will make anyone think they never want to watch a game of football at Blundell Park again.

Quoted from grimps

I had high hopes for this season only for them to be shattered again.
The hoping there are two teams worse than us each season just reminds me of the Fenty days.

As fans we have done our part, and we still get shat on  

Quoted from Zmariner

My problem is not the teams in the national league but a realisation that we cannot sustain a football league team. Therefore we can strive for promotion to the promised land, but it is futile as we are unable to live there once we arrive.
It is knowing this that is the problem for me utm

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

We can in monetary terms. We just continue to make the wrong choices somehow,  even if most of us agree with them at the time.

In some ways the owners have tried to do too much too soon, and I still don't think they have fully grasped that football is not like any other business. It is what happens on the field that matters the most, and I think they must accept it will be an expensive business till their longer term plans start to kick in.

I remember being disappointed with the McAtee deal but they wanted to create "good relations " with Luton,  but Luton aren't going to be bothered about a struggling league 2 club are they? It just looks like a bit of naivety on our part.

I'm sure it will all come right in the end. We have great support considering we are still down with the dead men, and we have great potential which the owners can clearly see.

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

But do we?...playing devils advocate here, ask yourself why do many Grimberians have left the town and area?...
The answer isn't chasing money, its to do with looking for a better lifestyle, to attract players we need something most clubs don't have, so apart from a mucky river,  a fishy stench, and a beach, what else can we do?..
Unless you were born local, have family ties to the town we will struggle, I'm sorry but its no coincidence that since the decline of the nightlife in Cleethorpes and Grimsby that we haven't attracted a better standard of player.
