No link required Bill! 🤣

What have I got to lose? 20mins for starters!

[Deereyme66]

Blimey. What are Grantham in? Tier 7 or 8? Seems a lot.

We struggled big time to create many decent goalscoring opportunities. Unless there’s recruitment to address that, where are the goals coming from?

[Deereyme66]

Watched most of the last few England games for some footy to watch. Everyone knows Southgate’s tactics are too defensive but last night’s performance was on the players shoulders. None of them looked like they wanted to be there in any of the games I saw. If you play with a half assed attitude, skulking around the pitch because you’d rather be on the beach, that’s what’s going to happen against a decent enough side who want to beat you.

Don’t know how old the info was, or how accurate, but I read somewhere yesterday that the average player wage in the National is £700 a week. Is that likely to be roughly what our average players are on with maybe a few on £1k?

‘the old chesnut of someone says they will come then their agent will find another club for them who wants to pay more’. In that respect, very much like an estate agent IA. Are there any out there who can sell the club for us?

Ooh goody, are you going to re-post the same squad minus or plus 1 player every time someone joins or leaves? Fasten your seat belts!

Sounds like he has poor options though.

‘Was promised to reopen several months ago, guess it’s a Scunny thing.’

Promise or intention? Seem to recall it was the latter. And how would Swanny have any influence (as you said in a previous post) on whether the non-footy side reopened again or not?

How come the Cods haven’t offered him a new contract?

‘The side should be more or less in place over the next 12 days.’

Definitely just seen a pig fly past the window.

Does he want away?

[Deereyme66]

Surely he can do a good job in the National?

Just to add a bit of fuel to the fire Taft is on holiday with macatee and a few of the Grimsby players, not sure who there though

Oh great, how many times has Taft had to sit through Mcatee playing clips of him leading cods fans singing ‘Scunny get battered, everywhere they go!’ On his phone?

[Deereyme66]

‘His end product tends to let him down though’. Should fit right in for us then 🤣

[Deereyme66]

It seems unless they have match reports or pieces from Max Bell there’s nothing. So either the club aren’t sending them press releases or they are and the Telegraph aren’t publishing them. Either way, it’s rubbish.

How much is the dearth of SUFC articles in the Telegraph still due to bad relations with the club?

I concur with NI on this one

I had £3 on the Cods getting promotion at 18/1 – it numbed the disappointment slightly.

Better odds than one of your other big bets I suppose.

Telegraph online-just looking myself earlier. Can’t believe how long ago the last feature was. Weren’t relations with them supposed to be on the mend? Or has that stalled now Simon Elliott has gone?

Nice to read these tributes. Now wish I was old enough to have seen him play.

[Deereyme66]

Got it! We’re doing a Wrexham but better – it was Johnny Depp!!

[Deereyme66]

Well it’s not Jim Davidson anyway.

They could replace the scoreboard and give the old place a bit of a makeover while they’re at it!

[Deereyme66]

Yes, you’re right. Silly me. ‘On the up’ would have been more appropriate.

One of the now biggest critics of Swann on here threatened to grass me up for a comment I made about him on here about 3-4 years ago. Irony is, he now comes out more potentially libellous comments than I do. Whatever. The post above has just reminded me of that episode. How times and mindsets change.
