Quoted from Vance Warner
The best thing the new owners can do is stay off social media and the fishy. I don’t expect us to go up this season not because I don’t have high expectations but because of the state we were in on and off the pitch a few months ago. My biggest fear is that a section of support will become increasingly unpleasant when we’re not at the top of the league. Anyone suggesting we need time will be called a happy clapper, Paul Hurst will be slated for playing anything other than 442 and the fishy will be quiet when we win and packed when we lose. Surely we’ve all seen enough failure now to have a bit of perspective.


The most important thing for a football club is to be successful, at your level, on the pitch. Don’t for a minute think that Grimsby Town fans are going to be terribly forgiving if we start losing to teams we’ve never played before. I’m not saying that we have a divine right to league football but another extended stay in non league will do for many fans.

Some fans will agree some wont but if we achieve top 7 this season in my opinion that will be success , money that stockport wrexham chezzy notts to name a few throwing about makes it extremly difficult to top league but never impossible, think alot depends on keeping / getting taylor fit he will play a big part in how we want to set up /play, i'm excited about mcatee playing off taylor with sousa & revan bombing down wings , certainly not all doom & gloom

I’m not concerned about our squad other than in the attacking options. Two strikers that have basically missed pre season and two creative wide players who are invariably injured.

I've said it before and I will say it again but teams that go up typically sign very few players. I'm not saying it can't be done with wholesale changes but more often than not, it is with the bulk of the previous seasons squad.

By the time 7 and 9 is filled we will have signed double those teams tipped to be challenging like Wrexham, Stockport, Notts County and Chesterfield.


For me it's about seeing a culture shift, evolving the squad throughout the season and making a lot less additions next summer.

Some of you deserve to still be stuck with Fenty. How much did they pay to be shot of him and his total contempt for us? Then they've focused on supporter engagement and matchday experience which have been neglected forever and you're whining about long we'll be in the conference before we've even played a competitive match.

Match day experience starts and ends with results. That’s what sells tickets.

For fúck’s sake. The whiners never stop do they. Doesn’t matter what logic and argument is used with them, they’re determined to have this dog in a manger attitude. Complete lack of understanding of the reality of the club’s situation, and how it’s being addressed.

“I want us to sign top striker now, and if I don’t get my way I’m going to skthweam and skthweam and skthweam and sthtamp my feet.”


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Complete lack of understanding. What patronising crap is that?

Of course we understand the clubs ‘situation’. We’re a rundown football club in the middle of nowhere that has been badly run for a very long time. We have new owners who have got a massive job on their hands. That doesn’t mean we should accept mediocrity on the pitch, does it? After all, football clubs thrive when their team wins football matches not because they sell nice beer.
