I'm sure many clubs go through periods of turmoil, ups and downs etc but surely we must lead the way in embarrassing/cringeworthy moments. Thought a list would be an idea just if anything else to think it can't get any worse - can it?Like those awful channel 5 countdown programmes (ie top funniest football moments). So to start the ball rolling here's a few that spring to mind, left a few out  Could probably do a Fenty one all on it's own! I'll do a poll in a week or so to find the number 1 most embarrassing GTFC moment. 1. Laws fracturing Bonetti's cheekbone with a plate of chicken 2. Fenty snapping a kids flag 3. Fenty accusing women of disguising tampons as fireworks 4. Newell's team of pissheads 5. Holloway playing darts during covid lockdown 6. Nick Dale not heeding police advise and we get £15k fine against Port Vale, far more than extra stewards would have cost 7. Board member Marley telling fans to shut up at an event designed to bring fans and club together |

Losing league status above all else but.. The Fan's Forum.. and the club still have it online. What a great advert.. Complete cringefest from start to finish, and with the May revelations, makes Fenty's holier than thou attitude even more hollow than it already seemed at the time.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueaC76mcsTs |

I can cope with the football embarrassments like Chasetown, Braintree, Hartlepool, even getting relegated out of the league. That’s part of football and one of the reasons why we all support a smaller club.
What you don’t expect, and the pick axe that chips away at the coal face of Mariner love, is all of the off-the-field humiliations that are listed above. The vast majority of these were completely avoidable and mainly the result of the, frankly weird behaviour of you know who!

Remember when his completely disinterested daughter worked in the club shop?
Nick Dale
Shimmying up the floodlights to do a bodge job rather than paying for a professional.
Fenty on the digger at cheapside
Fenty embarrassing himself and the club at Wembley in 2016 doing countless things including dry flipping his Russian bride...in the royal box.
Getting the ticket tout involved
Telling fans raising over 100k and handing it to the club wasn’t important nor influential on our promotion.
Fitness coaches don’t win games
THAT PowerPoint...

I didn’t realise his missus was Russian. Assumed she was Polish. If she’s Russian then she must be his controller, getting him to do stupid things as a minor part (snigger) in the attempt to fracture Western society. 😆

Scouting the right player and then buying the wrong player.
Or, scouting the wrong player and buying him thinking we had bought somebody else!
Being the first club to be fined for blatant Covid breaches. Not as if there has not been any warnings
In the 1980s, the Ramsdens (Directors and supermarket moguls) sold the late great Kevin Moore to Southampton - and threw another player in the deal. 2 for the price of one, or, buy one get one free.

This is genuinely the most depressing, upsetting, and miserable thread I've read I think. Some stand out for me.
1. THAT Fans' forum! The whole "you lose trust, Matt" exchange plus the JF sycophants in the audience. I think that sticks out as a low point as far as PR is concerned.
2. Closely following that is just the run-up to the sale, Day's defense of May, just conducting sale negotiations in public summed it all up.
3. The Holloway era. The terrible, shocking, unforgivable recruitment, the darts saga. I'm getting angry just writing it out.
4. In terms of football that day at Halifax away stands out for me. Fans chanting "Hursty is a w****r, the whole sage surrounded the alleged racist abuse at Toto after FT. Yes, we had some bad footballing days, Burton, Chasetown, Braintree, Hartlepool, Oldham but in terms of the overall toxicity that stands out for me.
We are a bit of a basketcase it has to be said. No wonder nobody wants to sign for us!

Repeated, spurious claims to Ofcom after being called a ‘plonker’ by Radio Humberside
Another defeat for Fenty and further waste of public and Club money. Plonker
The Club’s name tarnished by appearing on the same Ofcom bulletin as withheld complaints about ‘Dangerous Sêx Games’ on Virgin TV and an episode of Casualty where a bomb (possibly hidden in women’s sanitary products) had exploded on a coach, leaving gruesome shots of intestines spilling out of stomachs like the ghastly offal remains of our beloved football club

Wow. What an incredible litany of absolute, unadulterated shambolism.
Just when you think it has to stop, it keeps on coming like the medically significant episode of diarrhoea I suffered following a prawn vindaloo I ate at Barnsley’s 17th highest rated Indian restaurant (source: Tripadvisor) a couple of years ago. A deeply unpleasant experience by the way, much like the last sixteen years enduring football’s equivalent of faecal incontinence.
The lack of apparent progress in this transfer window is a stark reminder that the ghost may live on after the witch is dead, but whatever happens we must remember that a club is ultimately defined by its fans rather than its owners - at least at this level. We’ll get back again, should we have to.
Count your blessings in these tough times. The circus tent is being deconstructed.

One of our fans racially abusing one of our own players (opposition player at the time admittedly, not that it makes it rght) then being allowed back into the ground.
Banning BBC Humberside like we're Man United.
Burton away when we were relegated.
Being the worst team in the league pyramid.
Rob Scott. "If ya dant like it dant fackin came".
Convicted fraudster being courted like royalty.
The fans (myself included) being taken in by Holloway.
Treatment of club legend John McDermott.
Lack of progress since promotion in 2016.
Relegation to non league again 2021 (hope I'm wrong)
A 'fan' in a Man United top, invading the pitch against Barnet in the ill fated 2009/10 season.
The drunbings against Oldham, Braintree and Tranmere.

This thread is a damning indictment of lack of nous, PR and GTFC brand protection over the years, covering pretty much every single aspect of the club. Really looking forward to seeing what Shutes and Co can do. A few days or a week or two and then this shambolic amateurish era of our club will be finally over..

Selling Danny (forget surname) because we would not offer about £50 a week more. He had a very good career at Palace.
Only having one pre-season friendly.
Being based in the wrong town.
Having a website where you cannot order what you want to buy. I gave up.

The (alleged) ‘Rumble in the Pub Car Park’ between the majority shareholder and the first team manager.
Grimsby Pete takes up the story, “It was a sorry sight to see men goading them on in such a barbaric fashion. And I'm rather ashamed to say I was party to that goading. And two men fighting as I saw in that car park that night, naked as the day they were born, and fighting the way God intended. Wrestling at points, I don't know if you've seen "Women In Love". There's a marvellous scene by the fire....... It kind of resembled that.”

Our majority shareholder getting a driving ban for various offences, including speeding, and then using his position as Ward councillor to claim, “there is no appetite at all among locals for a speed limit reduction along Humberston Avenue”.
Instead of worrying about road safety, NE Lincs Council should “focus more on things like the grass verges”.

Summoning fans to "meetings" where they bring print outs of things they said on a fans forum and bully them into an apology or worse, threatening legal action against the forums to get their own way. I can't think of another club where this has happened.

I'm looking at the thread rather differently...this is good therapy for us all. We need to get over JF's regime somehow. (PTSD) There's a book waiting to be written, perhaps entitled 'The Tinpot Tyrant's Tantrums' . Fun reading for fans of other clubs... |

Summoning fans to "meetings" where they bring print outs of things they said on a fans forum and bully them into an apology or worse, threatening legal action against the forums to get their own way. I can't think of another club where this has happened.
If anyone gets summoned again, they can print this thread, pop it in his lap and say ‘I rest my case, meeting over.’ |

Our majority shareholder getting a driving ban for various offences, including speeding, and then using his position as Ward councillor to claim, “there is no appetite at all among locals for a speed limit reduction along Humberston Avenue”.
Instead of worrying about road safety, NE Lincs Council should “focus more on things like the grass verges”.
I think my dad has told the story on here himself but... When Fenty got banned from driving (2005ish?) he still used to walk around the stands before a match rather than across the pitch. The game after his driving ban he was walking down the front of the Pontoon. He was walking towards my dad. My dad held his hand out to Fenty like he was going to shake his hand and said “hello, Mr Fenty”. When Fenty extended his hand out to shake my dads hand my dad just placed a concealed taxi business card into his hand and said something along the lines of “I thought you might need this”. Still the funniest thing I’ve ever witnessed my dad do. |

THAT day at Burton.
Firstly the performance of the team on the pitch. I know we would have gone down even if we'd won but the majority of the players played like they couldn't give a toss.
Then the actions of our so-called "fans" after the game. I was certainly embarrassed to be a Town fan that day.
Also shoutouts for Chasetown and the 5-0 at Braintree. Thankfully I wasn't at Braintree that night as that was the day I had my main brain tumour op. I thought I was still under the anesthetic when I heard the score the next morning.

The name is definitely Slavic in origin. But her dad/grandad might have stayed after the war.
I once heard that JF had complained that his wife took a week to hoover the lounge. So, either he has a massive lounge or she is a Slovak. |

He summoned me once but I never turned up, he then sent me an email after my non attendance and said he would have to take it further. This was in 2017 and I still haven't heard anything |

Has to be the 5-0 defeat at Braintree forms the only time I felt embarrassed being a town fan.

In terms of away from incidents that have happened internally...
* Being relegated from the Football League
* Watching our club stand still in time where smaller and once less organised clubs have gone on to build stadiums, be progressive and are now, bigger and richer and in higher leagues.
* Watching Non-League sides with tiny fan bases such as Fleetwood, Accrington, Burton etc join the league, become solid sides, get promoted and sit in the League above whilst we struggle with a pot to urine in.
* Every time we lost a game at Non-League level.
* Watching Lincoln and previously Scunthorpe get is so right on the field whilst again we get everything consistently wrong.
* Teams like Boston United being able to plan and then build a stadium within 2 or 3 years, whilst 20 years later we are no closer.
* Year after year of uninspiring poor to average football.

Having your chairman state publicly that we would not be greatly affected by the ITV Digital fiasco because we'd made provisions, or not spent the money before we had it, only to have it wheeled out as an excuse for all our financial woes, including debts to tyrants, for the next 20 flipping years.
Ambulancegate
Newellgate
Radio Humbersidegate
Fentys fireside chats, you know, the ones were he blames the fans and ITV digital because he's embarrassed the club, again.
Burton
Tranmere
Alex May
Trust shares
Shut up
Aswad Thomas racist fan ban.
the list is almost endless

It's fair to say as well that being an 80's kid and growing up watching Town from 92/93 ish and having been so spoilt in that era, it's embarrassing that the club went to excrement so quickly after going down in 2003.
When you think about some of the players we had, the way we held our own in the Championship and the way we operated as a club and the challenges we beat it's sad that this club has gone on to suffer from miss-management, no guidance, no ambition for so long.

I'm sure many clubs go through periods of turmoil, ups and downs etc but surely we must lead the way in embarrassing/cringeworthy moments. Thought a list would be an idea just if anything else to think it can't get any worse - can it? Like those awful channel 5 countdown programmes (ie top funniest football moments). So to start the ball rolling here's a few that spring to mind, left a few out Could probably do a Fenty one all on it's own! I'll do a poll in a week or so to find the number 1 most embarrassing GTFC moment. 1. Laws fracturing Bonetti's cheekbone with a plate of chicken 2. Fenty snapping a kids flag 3. Fenty accusing women of disguising tampons as fireworks 4. Newell's team of pissheads 5. Holloway playing darts during covid lockdown 6. Nick Dale not heeding police advise and we get £15k fine against Port Vale, far more than extra stewards would have cost 7. Board member Marley telling fans to shut up at an event designed to bring fans and club together
Slade & the players with his tactics board in the centre circle at half-time at Sinny Bank, whilst we all pi$$ed ourselves laughing, deserves a mention surely?  |

Fenty calling Radio Humberside telling them to stop asking questions (and then calling our manager 'Rob Hurst').
Telling players to get a part-time job in the summer.

A gobsmacking indictment of the way this club has been mismanaged. The majority of examples from the last 16 years.
We should print the list off and send it to the board room with a note to say 'This is your legacy'.

Being the first club in the 'second division' to go out of the FA Cup in the first round.
Getting hammered on Boxing Day at Barnsley in the pouring rain on an open stand only to discover that the players had had a massive Christmas Eve party at Crofty's and were all still getting over it.
Blundell Park - it's an embarrassment.

Having a"Chairman" who is formally "Not the Chairman", "Chairman", but behaved as the Chairman still.
An anecdote from just before WW2, or during the start of WW2". Grimsby drew a match in a cup competion. There was no time to arrange a replay. The Cup Organisers awarded the tie to our opponents on the basis of an assessment:
"Grimsby would probably have the lost the replay anyway".

Aye, very difficult to argue with that. But for the vast majority of these moments, there's a very common theme running through them all... Not sure if they've been listed already but just to add: Our chairman waving like a madman on the touchline to get the game against Rushden & Diamonds called off due to fog. Our chairman taking the Play Off Trophy in his (presumably not yet scratched) car to the service station on the way to the FA Trophy final, practically sprawling across his bonnet for photos with it in the worst emulation of a Max Power show I've ever seen. But I think the most cringeworthy moment of the football club has to revolve around a former board member demanding he get some time on the pitch in a competitive fixture... |

Selling Danny (forget surname) because we would not offer about £50 a week more. He had a very good career at Palace.
Butterfield. If only we had sold him.... Summer of 2001, Palace made a bid of £1million. Which we rejected. Over the course of the next 12 months we failed to make a single offer to renew his contract. As Butterfield was under 24, the ruling at the time was that to make sure we would receive compensation if he left, we had to evidence we had made an offer to improve his contract. Even if it was by 1p. Butterfield was hot property and was always going to leave. The club decided it wasn't worth trying to keep him so didn't make a single offer to better his contract. Not even a gesture offer. Palace picked up him up a on freebie. Butterfield then went onto miss just a single game in the next two seasons, culminating in Palace reaching the Premier League. At the same time we had just completed back-to-back relegations into the fourth tier... |

This thread would be funny, if not for the fact that its actually very tragic.
The club we love has become a shambles and a laughing stock. Think back to 1998. We had a great manager, a great team, and we were returning to what had become our natural home, the championship.
We were famed for punching above our weight, and for playing attractive attacking football.
We had recent victories at Stamford Bridge, St James Park, Goodison, Bramhall Lane, Hillsborough, and would go on to win at Anfield.
The town was rightly proud of its football club.
But look where we are now, what we have become. It is mortifying.

But look where we are now, what we have become. It is mortifying.
A brief story that backs this up: After the Wimbledon FA Cup game me and 2 mates were in a pub not far from Covent Garden. A bunch of Chelsea fans walked in who were a bit lippy and started asking guys what games they'd been to. When they came to us we were a little bit worried that we would get a hiding (we were all lovers, not fighters). When we said we were Grimsby fans we firstly got congratulated for how hard our supporters were (!) and then were congratulated for the football we played and how nobody fancied playing us. Allied to this, my best mate is a season ticket holder at Everton. For many years he dreaded the draw for the 3rd round of the FA Cup in case they drew us because he was convinced that we would beat them and he would never hear the last of it from me. In any conversation about football with others the great Everton side in the 80's would be brought up and everybody would get all frothy about Peter Reid et al but he would never make eye contact with me because he knew I would bring up how we beat that team at Goodison. For any Town fans under the age of 30 - that's what it used to be like supporting Town. It was f*cking great. |

Serge Makofo saga.... wasn't he signed on a 3 year deal by Woods and then after a couple of weeks they said they had signed the wrong player and we had to pay him out his contract when he eventually left.

There have been to many to list(all involving Fenty)
The most embarrassing were the photos of May walking into BP and sitting on Days knee in the Directors box.

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Rumour has it that, such was the despair around the club in the initial days of Fenty’s reign, it ruined lives, the turtle neck market and at least one Mariner marriage.
I often wonder whether, without Fenty, Stacy and Steph Coldicott would still be together, still breaking boundaries as the ultimate Midlands power couple.
Instead we are left with nothing but bittersweet memories, legal bills and grainy recordings of Steph Coldicott on Big Brother 4.

This is one of the most entertaining threads I have ever read on the fishy, if you didnt laugh you would cry or worse.
What happened with "the orange" ?
I believe it refers to when we beat (a full strength) Tottenham. In the scenes in the dressing room after the game he screamed: "don't forget the orange" or some such. It was like the embarrassing uncle at the Christmas party who completely misreads the situation. I remember me and the kids laughing out loud when it happened as it was so out of context. |

Signing Scott McGarvey
Scott McGarvey threatening the lower Findus terrace
Mike Lyons, Bobby Roberts and Mike Newell.
Having to consult google maps to find out where our opponents are from
Most embarrassing moment for me is not seeing through Ian Holloway earlier. Going to work in Nottingham after Burton and being asked if I could turn violent...
Some games I attended:-
Losing to Gateshead in the Cup in the mid-70s (as a child I was spoilt by Lawrie Mc's team).
Losing to Halifax in the Cup one freezing night
Taking my 3 children to see us lose 4-1 at Rushden in the conference (I didn't go to Braintree).
Other games - losing to a team where football is minority sport - Bath. Braintree etc...

When, in response to a town fan racially abusing a black opposition player, the Stadium Manager issued a statement saying the perpetrator “will be banned from our ground for life” - then club officials facilitated a meeting between the abuser and her victim, and stated that was “the end of the matter from the club’s point of view”. The abuser freely attends matches now. https://archive.kickitout.org/news/grimsby-town-fan-on-racism-charge-not-banned/#.YAK88aTfXDs |

Yes as he was giving an interview to Sky. I'm all for a bit of fun but it was live on TV, whilst beating a full strength spurs team is an achievement surely the celebrations and clown acts when the TV cameras aren't filming is more professional than letting the entire country see it. |

NL home games when small, PT teams parked the bus and left with a point.
Numerous teams who could only fill a minibus with away fans.
Selling any profilic striker for peanuts. Even the tribunal conspired against us for Kevin Drinkell's (very low) transfer fee. (I think that Glasgow Rangers, money bags team at the time, bought Kevin as their first signing.
A club thought of so badly by refs, that at Wembley in a play-off final, the ref gave the other team a fresh start because we were dominating too early in the game. Sort it Fenty.
Even Hitler waited until we were the cream of the "Prem" before starting a world war. Which scewed us up bigtime.

Not sorting out a contract dispute with our manager before a playoff final which meant the manager rested one of our best players for the game(whom he was looking to sign for his next club) and thousands of fans travelled to the millennium stadium to see our team play terribly and look totally confused at the whole situation

Slade & the players with his tactics board in the centre circle at half-time at Sinny Bank, whilst we all pi$$ed ourselves laughing, deserves a mention surely?
Yes And it happened in front of a sell out away crowd. Had the same happened at BP to your lot, there would only have been 4 or 5 hundred Gimps to witness it. |
| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

The people given football banning orders after the pitch invasiaion at Burton in 2010 being told they could only return to Blundell Park if they bought a season ticket: https://www.grimsbytelegraph.c.....28-detail/story.html(can't remember if the club later relented on this). |

I did not know that about the flood lights but naturally, I am not surprised.
Wasn’t there also an issue when the ‘new’ flood lights were fitted regarding the cherry picker and a right royal intercourse about for the flood life in the main stand/ozzy corner?
