£55K now from the fans so £80K in total, incredible! Keep up the good work everyone. If all the Harry's are sold, that would be £20K from them alone.

Just popped a few more quid in for a Harry and a t-shirt. Have to say that the variety of items which can be bought and the way that the releases have been staggered and timed has been absolutely brilliant. Every time that the momentum of pledges really seems to have slowed something happens which seems to kick it into life again. I know it's a team effort but those behind the campaign should be very, very proud of themselves.

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56
John Hurt & Patricia Hodge both should have a bob or two or what about the guy who wrote Thriller or directed the video he was Grimsby man although went to school at De Aston (Like your truly) which is why I remember him but not his name!!


Rod Temperton came from Humberston. He wrote a lot of the songs on Thriller (I think). I might be wrong but I think you might be confusing the De Aston bit with Elton John's songwriting partner Bernie Taupin (who had a hand in writing "Grimsby" off the album Caribou which, allegedly was inspired by Elton's visit to B.P. as chairman of Watford in 1973/74.)


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Joseph Joubert.

Wondered if the Mariners Trust had seen this one from Portsmouth, slightly different aim, might be something in there we can steal!

Quoted from pizzzza
Another who must have millions sat in the bank, Rod Temperton? A bit of an off the wall suggestion maybe but it would be a real thriller if he could donate.


It would, but he needs to decide for himself.

He should take a good look at the Man in the Mirror, ask himself if he's Bad and Human Nature will dictate whether he donates or tells us to Beat it.

Quoted from Dan
Why on earth should he give his money away for no apparent reason other than his parents happened to have businesses here? I don't buy into that at all. You're making out like it's his moral obligation or something.


Its not just that his parents had  "businesses here." His grandfather and father created a world wide brand that made the family household names and set the way for David Ross to make his millions.

Countless Grimsby families spent a lifetime working for Ross Group, they and the company depended on each other. Of course lots of their employees were dedicated Town fans.

I think it would be a fitting tribute for the Ross family to invest some money in the Mariners - I understand David Ross is a very, very rich man so it is hardly going to affect him. He obviously holds all the aces, but it would be great if the Mariners could get somebody involved who has the cash and contacts to really get us moving. A bit like the Swann chap at Scunthorpe.
