Play-offs 2015

[Southern Shayman]

But why the superiority complex then?

Why bash smaller "tinpot" clubs all the time, when your nothing special yourselves?

Well....
a) you've got a massive inferiority complex over a couple of fans saying something in jest over a forum.
b) they are both bigger clubs than you, they're bigger clubs than us and they're bigger than most at this level, so get a grip.

Your logic is just plain stupid. According to you no one can ever be proud of anything, because someone's always done better...

 

[Sparrow]

Your first mistake is comparing us to the champions league final. What a ridiculous comparison to make.

Bit like when one of the FGR fans on here compared their manager to Mourinho.

 

[Chris FGR]

We might as well all give up and go home because we're not going to make the same atmosphere as the champions league final.

I doubt anyone would be saying anything of the sort had we and Eastleigh got to the final and got a 20k crowd, which would have been amazing given the relative size of the 2 clubs, would they?

Using your logic, everyone on here would be praising the 2 clubs because everything is relative, so a 20k crowd for a Conference game would be superb.

Somehow I doubt that would be the case, many would be laughing at any fans of either club who were happy with their own turnout/noise.

a) It's funny every now and then, with some clubs it's incessant.
b) Not comparing them to us, the world doesn't revolve around us I'm looking at it in a broader perspective.

I would be praising both clubs, 20k would be fantastic at the prices tickets were on sale for!

Well surprisingly enough, everyone on here supports a non league club. Going with the territory everyone gets stick off armchair fans. So anything that raises the profile of non league football and makes us look less tinpot should be congratulated. Everyone's congratulated them as they've turned out in great numbers and created a great atmosphere RELATIVE to the level of football they're representing.

You just seem to be getting genuinely upset because hypothetically you wouldn't get a well done for taking 10k fans? Seriously? Grow up.

 

[Chris FGR]

No, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of Grimsby fans in particular, when they took an amount which wasn't a whole lot more then the likes of ourselves and Eastleigh would bring, and yet somehow see that as praiseworthy and proof that they're something special. They would be amongst the first to bash ourselves or Eastleigh's turnouts, that's for sure.

Even if we'd taken more then them we'd still get derided and people saying the majority of our fans were daytrippers, which of course isn't true of the bigger clubs, is it?

 

[pontoonlew]

It was our 5th time at Wembley for crying out loud. The fact the day trippers didn't come actually made the atmosphere better.

They brought 16k on a long trip, for the 5th time in recent years and made a hell of a lot of noise.

No one gives a toss how many you'd bring and the fact you'd be like church mice. They were there, made a lot of noise and a few fans said well done.

You clearly lead a very sad life if this is getting to you

 

[Son of Cod]

Exactly which Grimsby fans (plural) on here are constantly belittling the smaller clubs? If you can't be arsed to give us some examples, then please stop.

That Champions League comment, though? Brilliant.

 

[Son of Cod]

b) Not comparing them to us, the world doesn't revolve around us I'm looking at it in a broader perspective.

If we'd got to Wembley and brought 10k, which is possible given we got near that in the 99 FA Trophy final, and took 8k to Villa Park 2 years later

I doubt anyone would be saying anything of the sort had we and Eastleigh got to the final and got a 20k crowd, which would have been amazing given the relative size of the 2 clubs, would they?

[Gladders]

I'd also like to see where any of us has said 16k or whatever it was, is decent, because I seem to remember us all expecting 20k+ and saying less than that would be disappointing.

The fact we then went on to make a great atmosphere with only that is what is being commended, and I imagine like Bristol if we had took over 20k the atmosphere wouldn't have been as good because of the day trippers.

I was disappointed but in the future I'd be happy only taking 15k again, even if we did once take 30k

 

[GTFC1979]

It is amusing watching The Gas and Fish heads going overboard about the incredible atmosphere, when in the grander scheme of things, your talking about a barely half full Wembley, which included 7000 neutrals.

Anyone who went to the Champions League final at Wembley in 2013 will tell you what a real atmosphere is like at the stadium.

Some perspective required me thinks.

What a total cock!

Ah so personal insults now is it?

I think you'd feel a bit of a prat if you knew me or what I do for a living, but carry on.

To be honest, I couldn't give a toss what living you carry out.

I'm just stating you need to cheer up and take a more positive outlook if people complementing Grimsby on their Wembley following get's to you

You're probably right.

Just hope that next time Grimsby fans feel the need to put down smaller clubs that they remember their own support isn't all that amazing either.

You have failed to answer the question you were asked about which Grimsby fans on here constantly belittle smaller clubs?

Your silence speaks volumes........

When I get some time, I'll trawl through and pick some out for you. I'm pretty sure you're one of the offenders.

Let me guess....... Spin Doctor?

 

[Chris FGR]

Here's one. More to follow.

3336 at FGR last night for a play off semi, including roughly 1000 Gas fans.
Now at the risk of pissing off my good friend ChrisFGR, what an absolute joke that attendance is, you should be embarassed by it.

 

[GTFC1979]

Good luck with that one!
I would say 'constantly belittling' is a slight over exaggeration.......

 

[GTFC1979]

Here's one. More to follow.

That is constant belittling?
It was speaking the truth you silly man.
Serious inferiority complex growing here........

 

[Chris FGR]

Here's another couple.

I welcome it in the fact that it will make a better atmosphere for the second leg, but the need to do this gesture for such a big game anyway, surely stinks of tinpottedness?
If they thought they would sell out our away end anyway, would they still be offering the free travel?
I doubt it, hence --- Tinpot!!

Just to get this in before B2TF:
Tinpotters 0
Real clubs 2

 

[les.gtfc]

One or two disparaging comments maybe from 1 or 2 posters, but the way Chris is going on you'd think the entire population of Grimsby fans on here spent their whole time slagging off poor little Forest Green.

 

[Son of Cod]

Eagerly awaiting similar quotes from myself, Les, Clarkey, Frealaf, immariner, etc.

 

[GTFC1979]

Here's another couple.

Here's another couple.

Erm, that was in the tinpot thread, about free travel, hence the word, tinpot......
The 2nd one was an obvious joke, well, obvious to anyone with more than 4 braincells, which i guess rules you out.....
Is this really the best you have to offer......?

 

[Chris FGR]

What fans?

I am gonna put a complaint in, we all know it should be Grimsby, Bristol Rovers and Wrexham on every week, BT Sport wankers......

And we both could have sold more! #tinpot

I might look through some other Grimsby fans postings in a minute, plenty more to come.

Do you not know that smiley faces and winks mean it is tongue in cheek my very sad mucker?
And the middle quote makes about as much sense as your normal posts......

 

[GTFC1979]

I would follow suit ChrisFGR and check your profile for your messages, but for the same effect i could just drink a bottle of whisky and get to sleep that way instead......

 

[GTFC1979]

B2TF is probably reading this thread thinking 'thats fuck all'....!!

Imagine losing to that lot.
