It depends mrbump. Currently Fenty’s loans are secured against the assets of the company, so if the club defaults he gets BP. Wonder if the contract between him and 1878 covers this.


I think we are worrying too much. If Mr Kapikanya was a director of 1878 these concerns would be very valid but the business reputations of both men give me no reason for concern.

I'm sure the contract has been negotiated by both sets of legal teams to something that is mutually agreeable.

You’re probably right. But just as we expect our leaders to do due diligence, I would want to do the same. And what may be mutually agreeable to the principals in the deal, that doesn’t mean it suits the interests of other stakeholders, ie fans and other shareholders.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I wonder if Fenty will be surprised at just how much it costs to watch Town in the 21st century....


My (tongue in cheek) suggestion was to those who are, for some reason, trying to undermine the potential new owners!

Why would we do that? We want the takeover to happen don't we. We want Fenty out


Don't think he is suggesting a vote against, rather than that is the alternative to voting for it, and nobody wants that.

My tongue in cheek response inferred that in all likelihood it has been a long time since "Principal Funder" bought and paid for a ticket to any of our games.....

Good luck to him too trying to get through to the ticket office by phone if we have a big game coming up, with waiting times of up to an hour..... or will the new owners maybe invest in a proper ticketing system?

I get this completely but that's not Stockwood's style. He talks about working together, shared visions etc.

I am not having a go at you with this either - banning and 'never set foot in BP again' is petty, bitter and lacks class. It would reflect better on the new owners if they said 'JF is welcome at the club any time' knowing full well that we would make any visit to BP a miserable experience for him (although I suspect that he's so thick skinned that he wouldn't care).

Someone also said why should JF still be on the board after I suggested he might become vice pres - a vice pres position is not a board position, it's an honorary position with no voice on the board and no voting rights.

DO NOT see any of this as me being pro the Principal Funder.


Good post ... just pisses me off what he’s done to us

With Fenty out of our club we can all breath again, buy our Season Tickets and at least hope for a brighter future.

What is done is done.
We can all unite and be the supporters we should be.

Give him his money and let him ride off into the sunset never to be seen again.

Thank intercourse he's gone.

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.

I think all everyone want to know  yes  or  no to the question   not a full blown book on what may be the answer.. Why  because folk like me just want a simple answer so we know weather or not to spend money at GTFC ,,  Because there are a lot saying  if fenty has anything at all to do with the club not one penny will go there way

We'll get him back.....a vibrant and successful club with good owners who listen to the fans. Hopefully a new ground and a real future. It will be a huge kick in the balls to him.

At our first game in the new stadium all fans should turn towards Humberston at 3.20 and show him the finger.
