Time for JF to put his money where his mouth is!

Quoted from Garth

Better you don`t know that way I can keep my beady eye on you  

Quoted from headingly_mariner

It was fine for Wimbledon, chester and Halifax, they both had to start totally from scratch, if you look at teams of comparable size the fans have managed to keep the club alive and some are now doing better than ourselves having folded, if we reformed in any league we would still attract a couple of thousand fans, this would be enough to pay our way through the lower non-league. At the time Fenty took over, we were a league club, teams were not punished for Administration and we would have been available practically debt free for someone to take over a far better prospect than we are now.

No clubs have ceased to exist, even in the worst cases of mismanagment the club's still exist Darlo and Stockport still exist, they are shite but they still exist, to say we wouldn't have a club without Fenty is an absolute nonsense and its the typical scared attitude that has seen many fans accept our pathetic fortunes over the last 10 years.

Quoted from grimsby pete

Wimbledon managed it because of their location LONDON,

Chester are only in our league because Hereford went bust,

Halifax are no better than us but are in a more central part of the country to attract players,


So I can not agree with your answer,

I think we will have to agree to disagree.

Quoted from headingly_mariner

thats just nonsense, wimbledon are in the league because they have been well run and they have been paying players, their location has had minimal effect on their progress, the fact that they pull over 3.5k fans a week has allowed them to be competetive enough to be promoted. How are Scunny doing so much better than us when its only 20 minutes away? they get less fans? it is a bigger shitehole?

I read today that since Fenty became major shareholder we have slipped 52 places.

Quoted from grimsby pete

How can you say a London club does not have an advantage over us,

How many players have they got to choose from compared to us ?

There are hundreds of players in the London area that could play for Wimbledon without moving house or too much travel,

How many can Grimsby call on ?

We have a hard job getting players to come to Grimsby now on the wages being paid,

How many would come if we were offering less,

Think about it.

Quoted from headingly_mariner

I see you've ignored my questions regarding scunny, care to have a crack at them?

I'm saying the advantage is neglible and it certainly should have been when we where in the league, Footballers do live outside of London and although it is massively populated it also has loads of clubs competing for talent, our location doesn't help us but it is certainly not a big factor in our decline, the 2 clubs within 30 miles of us have been quite capable of attracting the players to be successful, think about it!

Quoted from grimsby pete

I give up

I bet you are a student or under 25,

We have been above Scunny all the time apart from the last ten years,

How old is our club ?

I am taking the dog for a walk now,

I will get more sense out of her.
