Quoted from RoboCod
I doubt the Echo is sold in Grimsby, but then I live in Lincoln, which is why I'm so clued up on the spiteful nature of the clubs fans. Must add it's not all of them, the older generation have a sensible, even knowledgeable outlook on the rivalry, and football in general.
Nothing against you Helgy, you do your best to keep things balanced, but there are those on Rivals who have insisted that IF Lincoln had ever got to the higher divisions they'd be bigger than GTFC, and WHEN they do this, IF they ever do that....so many years of excuses for everything, a set of fans who dare not face up to anything. If they do get get banned from Rivals.

Diehard mentioned the stick/abuse we got when Lincoln fans flooded this and every other GTFC forum to mock, a year later you followed us down yet closed your forum to new posters for a few days. FFS, take these things on the chin, you may become better and stronger for it.

We could take the two respective crowdfunders as a decent yardstick. Over £100,000 to your  £18,000 is a pretty comprehensive answer, though I'm sure there are some prize winning excuses as to the difference in totals.


I get what you mean. Not sure about how many fans think we would be bigger not something a lot of fans think about really.

We do have a toxic element that tries its best to unsettle things, had one person quit vital because it was too positive.



Not sure about comparing the two in total we have raised £187,000 since April, those that gave to the shares & bonds were never likely to donate to the crowd funder because of the large donations they had already given. I knew that from the off so anything the crowd funder raised was a bonus really and we got a player out of it.

Fair enough but I guarantee that any bonds and share issue would just be swallowed up by Grimsby fans and more money added. It just would.
The crowdfunding has given the Town faithful a real appetite for not just raising money but creating a buzz about the place, getting them in the news and sticking two fingers up to the SKINT mob.

We need to take this chance and bring this club back from the almost-dead. It's all there in place, just waiting, and now for once the fans feel like they are actually behind it and that's why such a staggering amount was raised.

Having worked in the city of the damned for 20 years believe there is a lot of banter most of it aimed at me,nothing unhealthy about that.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.
