Show Notes
This week It’s the VFTF works Christmas do and you’re all invited along! Returning host Chris has put some money behind the bar, Charles Lumley has provided the venue and Paul Savage has provided the booze and they are the panellists to guide us through Part One of tonights special festive edition of the pod. The guys begin by discussing another winless afternoon for the Mariners at Bromley and the questionable team selection of David Artell, a manager that’s arguably been afforded too much patience up to now or perhaps he’s only just in the ascendency of a long term project aligned with the owners? The fan base appears split on the answer to that conundrum.
In Part Two Steve Young and Dave Laister join the party to have a wider look at the season so far and debate whether or not we have made any significant improvement from this time last year. And then they turn their attention to the impending January transfer window and how Artell and co may go about changing the fortunes and inspiring a squad currently devoid of all confidence.
Along the way the panellists choose their player of the season so far, a summer signing that has made the most impact, the most under rated and underwhelming players and also give their Secret Santa suggestions and Town related new years resolutions. Grab yourself a Christmas tipple and settle in to a must listen for all Mariners fans over the festive period!

It was a damaging afternoon for Town on Saturday, in more ways than one. Alistair Wilkinson, Rob Jays, George Mann and Danny Brothers from the “It’s All Cobblers To Me” podcast give their thoughts on yet another defeat for Grimsby. And they are joined by our youngest fan and newest contributor – James (aka Jambo), aged just 10! Let's hope the "gaffer" is listening...
It was a month that had promised so much as Town soared to 3rd in the table but after three consecutive defeats in the league for the first time since October 2023 perhaps all’s not quite as it seemed.
Another blip or cause for concern? Town fans Dave Laister, Mark Gill and Dean Wingate are joined by former club captain Craig Disley to give their opinions on Grimsby’s 2-1 home loss to Shrewsbury on Saturday, only the first time in ten months David Artell’s side have recorded back to back defeats…
Grimsby missed the chance to go top of the table on Saturday, going down 2-1 at Newport County. Regular away day contributors Rich Albery and Owen Hodson give their thoughts on The Mariners first defeat of the season but Ian Street from the 1912 Exiles Podcast is in a slightly more buoyant mood…
Town dispatched lowly Crawley with minimum fuss on Saturday and jumped up to third in the process. Pod panellists Paul Savage, Steve Claybourn and Adam Howard give their opinions on a second consecutive 2-0 home win…
