    No worries here. We have no pace whatsoever in our squad. Accept you’ve scored goals against us in the last two fixtures, but you’ve not won an EFL fixture at Blundell Park since Feb 2010. I would add that I expect that to change on Saturday, assuming the game goes ahead. FA Youth game v...

    This is something often raised by Grimsby fans, some suggesting our training ground should be nearer Doncaster for example to make it easier to attract players from Leeds, Sheffield etc area’s. It would certainly save some players the best part of 2 hours extra travelling. Imo it wouldn’t...

    2024/25 League Two Promotion Thread

    Grimsby are not, in my opinion, close to a side capable of a top 7 finish. The best sides I have seen based on one game against us are, in no particular order, Crewe, Doncaster & Walsall. I would expect all of them to be in the play offs at the very least

    About 16,000 in total would seem about right. The big stand where the dugouts are was quite sparse in the upper area’s which was obvious when looking directly at it. Anyway you deserved your 3 points without a shadow of doubt. Should avenge the result at BP and being knocked out the League cup...

    As a Blundell Park regular since 1965, I certainly wouldn’t describe our home attendances of around 6,000 as shite. In fact I’d say 6000 in Division 4 is pretty bloody good tbh Any club at this level getting in 6000+ is doing well

    Yes, more that 50% empty seats, and visibly so. Grimsby being 12th in the average attendance table is correct. In truth we are a mid table team and a mid table club. Small Town, population of circa 90k. Add Cleethorpes and combined it would be around 120k. Having seen some EFL report some...

    Were you in the Record Store yesterday by any chance? Town fan with an Irish accent?

    He followed his man! A very poor goal to concede but boo boy target Warren, wasn’t to blame.

    Not a hope in hell there were 18,011 at the game. Attendance figures are a farce!

    Pattison clear MoM for me. Centre backs were big and strong and as Grimsby had no pace whatsoever, nor height, they could have had a cigar on for most of the game. Grimsby flattered by 3-1

    The scorer walked inside McEachran to finish. Not Warrens fault imo

    Think for the majority of teams it will be about who copes best with the Christmas New Year schedule. Who has energy left in the tank? Who have rotated to try and keep players fresh? Grimsby don’t have the best of records at Valley Parade but I will go 1-1

    Helps when your fan base is under 25.

    I expect any signings Grimsby make to be completely under the radar and players most won’t have heard of. Will be interesting if the Jamestown Analytics model can work at the lower levels on the same way it has helped Brighton. So far lower levels teams in Belgium, Italy and Spain have seen a...

    No need to attempt a challenge. Gave the ref a decision to make and he was always going to be star of the show ( even though he couldn’t see it)

    The ref was definitely ‘me,me,me’ however Harvey R wasn’t wrestled v Donny, he miscued a clearance after someone brushed him. Then made an arse of himself No deflection for their 3rd, we just set up too deep and Wright saw it late and let it slide under his body. Silly forfeiture of the...

    Decent league two player imo. He is a North East lad so geography probably played a part

    Embleton had a season loan at Grimsby as a teenager (?). Looked quality and I expected he would kick on to better levels than he has( perhaps injuries have hampered that? ) Scored a couple of screamers from distance. IF you get him and IF he stays fit, then he is very capable at this level, and...

    No I don’t. I was told about Gardner by one of the players. Cass must be a huge doubt and McEachran & Rose looked shattered at the end
