We need to up our capacity if we can get 8-9 k average that will attract players.
The gaps at the main and findus put temporary standing in there to generate more atmosphere.
As Artell said in his interview players do ask the question what’s your average attendance

Wont the same people be in charge next season, so why should it be any different?
I just don't get how quickly people forget what a basket case the club was until 1878 guys came in. They had huge debts to pay off to the previous owner, as well as fund a promotion back into the EFL, fund proper training gear (remember the players saying they trained with punctured footballs)? The they had to get the club back on a sustainable financial foot ing - warning that it would take several years. Now we are sustainable because we are living within our means. Would people rather we go into debt to fund a promotion into L1 only for the money to run out again, and we end up back in the Conference or worse? Or would we rather allow the owners to build the club back up to a level that is sustainable, both financially and footballing wise? |

I seriously doubt they’re capable of that though. And wait g for them to learn how to do it will rip the guts out of the club. Might not be anything left by the time some “footballing fortune” comes round. Same old same old for me.

| I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!
From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.
You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

Whatever you think , I believe ,long term , that we are in better hands than the previous incumbent. Imagine what dodgy character (s) The Leech could have sold us to? Just look down the A18 to see how things could have been. |

Won't have to look very far. We'll be playing there next season. |

So the club was a basket case as you say), and the current owner paid the full asking price? That was the first eyebrow raising moment for me. So, here's a car that is rusting and the engine doesn't go, but I want 20K for it .....

Our trajectory is clear and worrying. Only a few weeks ago we were ten+ points clear of the relegation zone. We’re going down.

We are still a basket case, am I missing something? |

For quite a while we have assumed that we would be safe because FGR and Sutton were basket cases with no hope. The stats mad crowd posted all manner of PPG analysis that proved that all would be well. Well how's that looking now? Anyone care to do a PPG forecast based on the last four games? |

Never a truer word said. That bloke on Twitter, some "prophet " or other who does his projections after each round of games will be bang on the money after 46 games. Anything can and probably will happen, including us having a sudden upturn and escaping. |
