I dont mind fenty being on here as I dont criticise him like some do but we know players and staff read this board even the telewag as its the best GY board going.

Okay then so:

Championship to non league please explain?  It can't be all bad luck Mr fenty? Surely your record says you can't actually manage a football club properly!


Why did you publicly back woods then sack him the next day/few days later.  Why did you/the board even appoint  woods in the first place after his massive run without a win?

Why did Mr Parker leave?  

How come nothing has been done to combat the atmosphere at homes games? As you know we have fantastic away support. We need to translate that in the home ends! Why don't we swap the ponny with the ozzy and see how it goes? Keeping the ponny closed? Just an opinion? Or at least have one stand closed?




Because fans do not want that! At least I certainly do not! According to wikipedia in the 80's this switch was tried (before my time so i am having to trust wiki) and it was unpopular.  I have posted before the Pontoon is the stand I choose to go in when at BP and to sing in, that is my choice.  While many things can be put at those in charge of the club the burden of creating a positive atmosphere at Blundell Park has to be put on us fans, otherwise what are we doing to make our club great?

We did swap ends before after the club said the Osmond would be better for the home fans,

It did not work, us fans were very pleased to return to the Ponny.

Remember the time that your on about Pete, and it didn't sit right with me tbh. The ponny is our home end and always should be IMO, but would be open to the idea of going behind the goal which ever way were shooting. Open the lower findus and let the fans walk through and put the away fans in the corner between the main stand and the osmond

You do not have to trust Wiki mate,

I was one of the fans that was moved to the Osmond,

It did not work, we were all pleased to return to the Ponny.

Cheers Pete, saw your post after I had already posted.  Am not surprised it didn't work tbh, I would of been quite upset and desperate to return.  How long did it last for?

That's that then!!!

I guess it'll pick up when we are doing well!  But I've said the for a few years and it still doesn't pick up.

I guess us fans have been so demoralised and been kicked in the balls that many times in John's reign we just accept it now?

As far as my memory tells me ( it's not as good as it use to be ) it lasted for a season,

There were lots of complaints and we were reinstated to our home The Ponny

We only represent a  small minority of fans on here but im guessing a lot of the moaners at BP are those that have seen town play most in the old div2 etc.  Since being in the conference these fans probably the older ones are finding it harder to adjust.  It would be interesting to see the age group of these fans that constantly moan.  I moan if weve played crap but usually walking home after the game.  I dont get on players backs in the stadium, well I dont make it known thats for sure more under my breath.  Well all want town to do well but I dont think there is an answer to this as some accept it and others just wont.

Quoted from dapperz fun pub
My thoughts are fenty shouldnt get involved with the fishy, telegraph,radio ull or any other media outlets, let someone like dave smith do the press official statements. Smithy is well liked already in the building and wouldnt get certain fans agitated like fenty does



So you think that JF should take any amount of criticism, both professional and sometimes personal, on a GTFC message board but abstain from any form of reply - how bizarre! He's allowed to be shot at but not shoot back Some posters criticise him on purely GTFC matters out of a love for the club and that is fine.But I also get the impression that some do it on a more personal level and could ( I stress could ! ) have some kind of personal agenda with him. We have already had one poster claim that JF tried to have him banned ( from Blundell Park I assume) and it seems like his tirades are more personally motivated which have IMO no place on this site.

Being down here is new to all of us,

Over the years ( nearly 60 now ) I have seen us go up and down the divisions like a yo yo,

I feel sorry for my granddaughter and the ones of a similar age,

We introduced her to the mighty mariners when we were flying high in the old 2 division,

She thought winning  and going to Wembley was the norm,

Since then all she has seen is decline,

Well its got to stop some time, lets hope we start the move back up the league this season.
