Last night's attendance

Quoted from ginnywings

You can keep blaming the fans, but ultimately, it was the board who did for Bury. At least they got to see a promotion season before the sh1t hit the fan.

Yes, it was the board that eventually did Bury I agree...all I'm aiming at is that with current attitude of not bothering to support the club it's simple mathematics that at some point the books will no longer balance, the business will fail and the gates will be locked...
There's no new investment looking likely in the near, or far future, for what I can see, so we either get in there and keep the club afloat or sit back and watch it's demise...
Then when there is no club to support who do we blame then?...

So your solution is to guilt people into doing something they don’t enjoy, haven’t got the money for and watch their money being p1ssed up the wall by a set of incompetents in the boardroom?

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Welcome to Bury in the making with the current attitude I'm afraid...

No it's not-the exact opposite-we might be down but we're not out-and never will be,thankyou very much

I'm a season ticket holder, I didn't go. it's a 140 mile round trip for me and a very late night. The weather, the Newport game and the general malaise around the Jolley situation made sure I stayed home. I can't blame iFollow because I didn't watch it on that either. To be fair, I actually wish I had at least watched it online given the reports.

As far as we're concerned there are no "big name" managers who'll get bums on seats. The names floated around once a manager has been sacked are always a wake up call. Most posters, myself included, are getting used to the reality that we'd be unlikely to entice Barrow's manager in the league below. I'm pretty sure we tried to get John Askey when he was at Macclesfield, but failed.

I don't like hasty appointments and I think that changing managers mid season is often the start of a dangerous downward spiral. Especially with our reverse midas touch in this area.

For what it's worth, I think Limbrick and Davies should be given it until the end of the season and then take a view. If they're not up to it, it'll have been obvious to the board for some time and they can make a considered decision then.

Nobodies trying to guilt anybody into anything but as usual Ska you go straight for the throat of the board as Scargill went straight for the throat of Thatcher....
You tell me the solution then, where is the money, investment, buyer coming from?...
I know the board is culpable of incompetence in the appointment of several managers but, as it stands, we still have a club to support...
The Draconian attitude is to say "f@ck this, I ain't going while he's in his comfy seat" and if you think that works then good for you but ask the dockers,, miners, steel workers if it worked for them??..
Complain about the board until your blue in the face but they're going nowhere, not now, not next month, next year because no fool is going to buy a club with no fan base...that's where I am ultimately coming from..

Aren’t you missing the point somewhat with that last statement?
On the contrary,the club has a very impressive fan base, especially away from home but the club has disenfranchised an awful lot of us by being perpetually sh1t and failing to make proper investments in all aspects to address that decline. There was something of a renaissance in the recent promotion season back to the league but the club quickly killed off all that positivity by - guess what - being really poor on and off the pitch. Successive relegation battles at a level we should be competing in undelining that point. We would be one of the best supported clubs home and away in L2 if there was anything remotely positive to get involved with .

I agree with ginnywings’ excellent post. The same applies to me and I’m a supporter of about 40 years. I suspect there are hundreds if not thousands of us.

No, I'm not missing the point, if anything I'm trying to point out that we as a club are in a massive downward spiral...yes, for league 2, even league 1, we have a great fan base but for how much longer??...
If anything I suppose I'm trying to put out a last grasp rallying call to get people through the gates, increase the profits, increase the budget, make us more investable, get JSF his money back,..and move in to a brighter future ..
And in the other hand, how much longer before the lack of a crowd, inturn the lack of an atmosphere has an impact on the playing staff and there goes even more dire football, crowds drop again and BOOM.... we're looking at having to be a phoenix club ..

We blame the very people (person) that has lead to Grimsby Town Football Club being an awful experience both on and off the pitch.

  Let's say you had a car you once loved. But due to an absolute sh1te mechanic that you trusted to maintain it, it became a wreck, a depressing experience to drive or to even look at. Would you carry on paying the mechanic, getting depressed every Saturday when you went to drive it, and constantly moaning to the other half about how good it used to be.  If you did stop paying the mechanic  because of the state of the car,  but  no one else would maintain it because it was so run down and it got scrapped. Would you blame yourself, or the sh1t mechanic ??  

You said nobody in their right mind wants to buy a football club with no fan base, but we have an excellent fan base. Many have been driven away.

The products been devalued to the point that's it's worthless. Chaos and Ginny got this smack on, we are dreadful and cannot even compete in the basement division.

It's nothing to do with the level of support, we have been well supported at this level and still shite.  Everyone has their limit.
