Most tinpot thing I ever heard. (tinpot thread)

[Blue Lion]

Our club still managed to produce a highlights video from our match at Dover, although it was just this message:

 

[Pablosammy]

Or watch the highlights on BT Sport live everybody else does

Do they though? Every single game we've played this season I've watched the highlights online, either on Youtube or Tranmere Player. It's a modern, versatile world, eh?

Yes but being a tinpot Conference South outfit we don't have a "DAFC Player" or anything. BT Sport upload the highlights onto YouTube in the week after the game - really isn't an issue unless it's a midweek game.

 

[FGRJC]

We did, because I watched them!

Where?

 

[GuiseleySteve]

There is a valid reason why we don't let you record the game and its been explained many a time, I just can't remember what it is!

As for the Guiseley radio thing - I'm sure your radio team said themselves that they didn't travel down and didn't bother asking?
Edit: Yep http://gafcforum.proboards.com/thread/6436/dovers-ego

That was the Trophy game

There's no excuses, it's just deliberate outright grade A tinpottery

You'll be glad there's no highlights when we hand out a drubbing on Saturday

If we receive a drubbing, it's because we allowed you to hand it to us, not because you're good. I hope you know that...

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Is it Boreham Wood who also do that?

Yeah, that was the case last weekend for us.
Fylde did the same last season, but they said it was so people wouldn't be able to analyse their tactics. I'm more inclined to believe they're just dicks.

 

[Raymondo316]

People think half and half scarves are bad....well someone made this

 

[DarkSithLord]

Fucking hell. I have never such bollocks in all my life. What a bunch of tosser.

Ebbsfleet are another one who don't allow anyone to record and use similar bullshit excuses

''Thanks for your enquiry.

This is something we discussed at the beginning of the season but under Daryl we are a team that has a big armoury of set pieces and at this level not all teams scout their opposition so we don't want to make their job any easier. Also it is a vehicle to see who and how we take penalty kicks.
I accept some clubs do show highlights but the current policy won't change for this season but we will review it next summer.

I don't know how premier league clubs survive if that's the case.
Idiots!

You'd want people to see that though. More like you expect to be beaten every home game so your club doesn't want it circulating, especially when Gary Taylor-Fletcher walks past your entire team and controls his hand and lashes into the top corner before taking a seat by the corner flag and taking 5 minutes to walk off and be substituted*.

*Anyone who attended the reverse fixture will understand this.

Surely you could just watch highlights of all their away games if you were that bothered about their BIG ARMOURY OF SET PIECES.

 

[Luke Imp]

Again, not tinpot but fair play to this chap!

I think I found the Ash United bloke somewhere earlier in this thread, but he's worth bringing up for connoisseurs of lone singing fans. I think the Ash bloke pips it though, because his chants don't even seem to be based on any particular tune, and the game seems to be even more dead rubber.

There's summat that gives a huge pathos to one man singing. It's like holding a conversation with an empty seat, except hilarious.

 

[chrisblor]

John 'Major Shareholder' Fenty's stuck an interview up on youtube. It'll be of limited interest to non Grimsby Town supporters, however the classy location choice (an OAP's front room?) and tasteful bum-artwork can certainly be considered tinpot:

 

[EnglishRed]

Do Grimsby really have the 5/6th budget in the league? I find that hard to belive given their posted losses. I suppose if your budget is 300k (like Woking) then you can still claim that even if you are spending far more (like Woking)

Based purely on what our chairman said over the summer regarding our budget and Omar Bogle - that we've got a top half budget and Grimsby's offer blew ours out of the water - I'd say they are up there with Eastleigh and Forest Green in that respect.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Obviously we've got a bigger budget than most but FGR, Eastleigh and Tranmere's are all bigger for a start. I wouldn't be surprised if Cheltenham's was similar to us as well.

 

[slaphead]

The be honest, I don't think the likes of Eastleigh and FGR have a budget, they just spend whatever it takes to be competitive.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Out of interest, any idea what Forest Green's budget is? I heard last week it was meant to be £1.2million, but given their stunning loses I'm skeptical whether it's not higher.

 

[GodsGift]

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Obviously we've got a bigger budget than most but FGR, Eastleigh and Tranmere's are all bigger for a start. I wouldn't be surprised if Cheltenham's was similar to us as well.

Our budget is £1m, half of FGRs. Ridiculous when you think our turnover is four times bigger than theirs.

You just wait until they move and start getting gates of 10000 regularly.

It's wierd that Fenty kept going on about how we had a bigger budget than Grimsby and that we have state support. Bizarre claims.

 

[Si Robin]

According to our chairman at a shareholder's meeting last night ours is £600k. Not sure where that puts ours in the grand scheme of things.
