New Start.

Perhaps the first  thing the new regime could do when it is installed is to treat the fans as an integral part of this club.

Instead of treating it like their own personal fiefdom,they could engage in an open and transparent dialogue with the fans.They could start by have an open and honest assessment of things that have gone on within the club during the previous regime,or am I hoping for too much?

Hopefully we have some kind of pre season this year , maybe try signing a few players before September too .
We will have parachute payments , one of the biggest gate receipts and good support .
Last time we went down we offloaded lots of players taking a wage at the club that didn’t want to be here .
I’m hoping we get a top 3 budget and go for it early as we might not get a chance like this again.
Honestly if we’re not in and around the top after ten games I’d be asking lots of questions as continuing to accept rubbish has been our downfall for the last decade or so

If you do your research, I think it’s pretty clear that’s exactly what we’re going to get. That doesn’t necessarily mean bouncing back at the first time of asking - we should be under no illusions how difficult this will be.

But a frank assessment of the catalogue of mistakes that have been made over the last two decades, a practical plan to correct and recover from them and, yes, an honest, transparent and ongoing dialogue with the fans will emerge very quickly in my opinion.

Healing from the John Fenty era will take time - we are battered and bruised and devoid of confidence and self respect, but we will soon see the green shoots of recovery as we begin this new era and begin to restore the values this once great club used to stand for. I have no doubt.

Apologies if I upset anyone last night, my disappointment became a bit of a rant.
Let's put all this season, everything from the last 20 yrs,  behind us, let's have a new dawn. Let's fill Blundell Park. Commit to buy a season ticket if you can.
Let's bounce out of the National League.
DB peace in our time.
Yoda I'll buy you a pint in the club bar. Anyone else as well.
Do not ask what your club can do for you, but ask what can you do for your club..
We all support Grimsby, we are all Grimsby Town. UTM.

However with the clouds lifting and no JF or his cronies time to get the club back up again. Season tickets will be purchased again..

Spot on.

If we want the new owners to engage with fans, then we have to stop critisizing them every minute of every day.

Last night was the end of a trauma for most of us, an outpouring of grief, emotion, and the snapping of the last crushed straw as the fat lady bellowed in our ears. Tension, stress, and anxiety poured out of our hearts and we had to rid ourselves of the pent up emotion within.

Peace to you Don and let all fans join together on May 5th to start the beginning of a new era in the clubs' fortunes. Fenty was at fault, full stop. So let's not forget what he's done but cast him out of our minds forever, you cannot progress forward with bitter thoughts in your mind.

A pint of Guinness for me please Don.

They have already said they want to do a survey of the fans as soon as possible.  

To be honest I have never wanted to be an "integral" part of the club - I just want to be a normal fan who is proud of the club and have competent people to run it. And be successful on the pitch.

I hope far more attention is paid to getting the right backroom set up, better facilities for both players and supporters, and most of all better footballers on the pitch.
