Buoyed by their opening day performance against Crawley, the Town faithful travelled in their numbers to Harrogate this weekend hoping the side would pick up where they left off but it didn’t quite go to plan. The panel start by discussing a sobering afternoon for The Mariners and try to pinpoint just where and how things went wrong in a crazy second half that saw all six goals scored within it. Nevertheless, the guys are in agreeance there were still plenty of positives to take away from the afternoon, not least the character and resilience of the players to come from 3-1 down and Jaze Kabia’s impressive late equaliser.

In part two, panellist from the ‘1912 Exiles’ podcast, Ian Street, joins the conversation to help preview the visit of Newport next weekend and explains why the South Wales outfit changed manager during the summer, which of their recent signings Grimsby fans need to fear most and the surprising origins of the club’s stylish new away kit which might be debuted at BP!

Football is finally back and with it blue skies and renewed optimism in Cleethorpes! The Mariners ran out comfortable 3-0 winners on opening day with a dominant display over newly relegated Crawley. Therefore the panel are in buoyant mood and waste no time waxing lyrical about the team’s performance, the gulf in quality and work rate between the two sides and stand out individual performances such as that of new number nine, Jaze Gabia.

In part two, the guys are joined by Harrogate fan Neil Hirst who helps them preview the Mariners trip to North Yorkshire next weekend, just four months after that famous Kieran Green goal stole the headlines in the same fixture at the back end of last season. How are Harrogate shaping up for their sixth campaign in League Two and how are their ex Grimsby contingent settling in?

Pre-season is complete for another year and the League Two curtain raiser is less than a week away. In Part Two of their 25/26 preview the guys discuss another busy week of preparations for the Mariners which included an 8th summer signing, two more friendlies and the release of the third kit.

Expert EFL pundit Gab Sutton is this weeks special guest and goes on to explain why he has predicted Grimsby to finish as high as 2nd this season (yes, second!) and then gives an update on how some of the other clubs have been preparing ahead of the new campaign and who we may need to look out for over the next nine months, starting with the visit of Crawley on opening weekend...

The View From The Findus Podcast are back for a third season following The Mariners and with it they aim to bring more opinion, extra analysis and added nostalgia! This week, in the first of two season preview episodes, Chris and the panel are joined by BBC Radio Humberside’s Matt Dean to help them look forward to the upcoming 25/26 League Two Campaign - the grass may have finally returned to Blundell Park but has it brought renewed optimism?

In an attempt to bring you back up to speed with everything that has been going on at the club over the last couple of months the guys go on to discuss accelerated expectations, the positivity surrounding the new kits, player ins and outs, current squad depth, the friendlies so far and the progress being made by the women’s team on and off the pitch.

Then in part two Matt becomes the interviewee for once and reflects on the highs and lows of reporting on Grimsby over his 27 year career to date; How does he prepare for his commentaries and interviews, which ex Town managers were the most difficult to deal with and what really happened with that David Turi exclusive last January?

Ever wondered what it would be like to design a kit for The Mariners? Well wonder no more, as the guys return for one final bonus episode of the close season; an exclusive interview with the lead designers of this seasons GTFC kits, Jack Johnson and Luke Matthews.

You’ve seen the strips, you’ve admired the launch videos and you may have even spent your money. But now the VFTF take you behind the scenes as we quiz the masterminds behind the club’s ongoing collaboration with Umbro. What did they learn from last seasons kits? What was the inspiration behind this year’s designs and how did they persuade cult hero Ivano Bonetti to make a surprise appearance? And make sure you listen until the end for a very exciting announcement…

The guys return with another bonus close season episode and this time they turn the spotlight on the Mariners Trust. Former Chair, and regular VFTF panellist, Paul Savage joins Chris for an in-depth chat with the current chair, Wayne Brightmore. Rightly or wrongly, the Trust have been thrust into the headlines recently off the back of the new ticket pricing re-structures and so we thought it was the perfect time to explore their relationship with the club further. Were they consulted on ticket prices? Why was the 5% Mariners Trust discount scrapped? And have the lines between the Trust and the club become blurred?

The guys finish by taking a look back at one of the Trust’s greatest success stories, ‘Operation Promotion’ which this year celebrates its tenth anniversary. Paul explains how it all came about and whether or not the money raised really did buy Omar Bogle...

Just when you thought it was safe to put down your headphones, the guys return with the first of their bonus summer content and another feature interview with an ex Grimsby player. This time it’s the turn of Irish heart-throb and all-round fans favourite, Gavan Holohan who became an integral part of the 2022 National League play-off winning side and then starred in the club's famous FA Cup run a year later. From nights out with Jimmy Bullard right through to playing against a World Cup winner, Chris and Adam take a look back over Gav’s 17 year career and one that doesn’t look like ending any time soon. Which Man Utd idol did he meet as a youngster and want to emulate? Who was his favourite midfield partner at Grimsby and how exactly did it feel stood over that penalty spot at Southampton? Warning – may contain goosebumps!

(P.S - The picture of a young Gav with Roy Keane is viewable on our Instagram page!)

As the dust begins to settle on another season following The Mariners, Chris and the team take an hour to reflect on the highs and lows of the 24/25 campaign. Many tipped us to finish comfortably mid table back in August so surely ending the season as high as 9th should be seen as a success or is there a tinge of disappointment having come so close to securing a play-off place?

The guys look back at some of the defining moments, biggest talking points and stand out performers from the past 9 months and sprinkle in some alternative awards along the way; who in the squad surprised and disappointed the panel most, who was an unsung hero and was George McEachran the rightful winner of the club’s POTY? The guys sign off with their thoughts on the recently announced retained list and assess the positives ahead of next season.

So close, yet so far! Grimsby came within touching distance of a play-off place on Saturday but ultimately missed out thanks, in the most part, to a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Wimbledon. The panel begin by discussing what might have been after a positive first half wasn’t capitalised upon and Town were left to rue missed chances after the break when old habits came back to bite them. How high on the priority list will defending set pieces be come pre-season and did David Artell leave it too late to make changes? The guys then touch on the imminent retained list and debate whether or not any of the out of contract players are worth keeping and then recap the final League Two standings, choosing the teams that surprised and disappointed them most.

In part two Lewis Duckworth, guitarist in local Grimsby band Kid Spirit, joins the show to tell us all about their origins, music influences and future plans. And as a season ticket holder at Blundell Park it would have been rude not to get his thoughts on the job Artell and co have done this year.

If you get chance please go and see the band live at 'Message in a Bottle' on Sat 17th May or Grimsby Central Hall on Sat 7th June.

Grimsby travelled to MK Dons on Saturday knowing a point or more would keep them in the hunt for a play-off place and a hard fought draw is what they came away with. The panel begin by reviewing a largely forgettable game in front of another impressive following by the Town faithful, 2091 seeing The Mariners unable to record a shot on target despite arguably having the best chance of the game late on. The guys debate whether or not results are ultimately more important than performances at this stage of the season before having their say on the soon to be announced ‘Player of the Year’ and ‘Goal of the Season’ awards.

In part two, Chris Draper from the ‘9 Years Podcast’ joins the conversation to help preview the winner takes all showdown at Blundell Park next weekend against Wimbledon. Can either side arrest their disappointing end of season form to have a crack at the play-offs and, with a sell-out expected, will our panel manage to find tickets?

Dead and buried on Friday, back to life on Monday! It was an Easter miracle for The Mariners as they just about stayed in the hunt for a play-off place despite a thumping home defeat against Swindon and relinquishing another 2-0 lead to draw at Port Vale. The guys begin by picking the bones out of an eventful bank holiday weekend which saw two surprising performances, albeit for differing reasons. Did Town contribute to their own downfall against a strong Swindon side and how did this latest capitulation compare to the one at Harrogate just a fortnight ago? The panel then go on to discuss Jake Eastwood and Charles Vernam’s recall to the starting XI at Port Vale and what impact they may have on the remainder of the season.

As well as all of that we also have, not one, but two guests on this week’s episode. First, stand up comedian and TV star, Ivo Graham gives his thoughts on the Swindon game before Kristine Green, Community Projects Manager of the GTFC Foundation and the first ever female board member at Blundell Park, tells us about all the good work going on behind the scenes at the club. And there might be an exciting pod announcement thrown in there as well so stay tuned…!

Grimsby picked up a point at Harrogate on Saturday, but to many it felt like a defeat having lead 2-0 until the last 5 minutes of the game and to make matters worse, closest play-off rival Colchester grabbed a late win at Newport. The guys begin by discussing their disappointment at the full time whistle but the conversation quickly turns to THAT Kieran Green goal; an audacious 75 yard strike from inside his own half. The panel then debate whether or not Doug Tharme going off in the second half was the turning point in the game and whether the surprising criticism levelled at him by manager David Artell was warranted.

In Part Two, Joe Acklam from the ‘Swindon Advertiser’ joins the show to help preview the two games over the Easter bank holiday weekend, starting with the return of ex Mariners boss and the much maligned Ian Holloway.

Another busy week saw The Mariners remain in the play-off hunt with a defeat at fellow promotion contenders Crewe followed up by a victory over struggling Morecambe at BP. Chris, Helen and Liam begin by discussing the absence of talisman Danny Rose on Tuesday night and how his return on Saturday underlined his importance to the team. They then dissect the win over the Shrimps, the comfortable nature of the result (in the end!) and the impact of a rejuvenated Kieran Green.

The other big news story coming out of the club this week was the announcement of the 25/26 season tickets and the price increase that has split opinion within the fanbase. The panellists debate the pro’s and con’s of the decision and speculate as to the potential fall out between the club and the Mariners Trust as a result.

In Part Two Rhys Howell from The Yorkshire Post helps preview what will undoubtedly be a big game next weekend for both Grimsby and Harrogate, albeit due to differing reasons.

Grimsby stole the headlines again this week with another statement win on the road, this time at fellow play-off rivals Colchester. The panel begin by reviewing a dominant display, discuss how The Mariners tenth away win was no fluke and then wonder if there are any more adjectives left out there to do George McEachran’s performances this season justice? Inevitably the conversation then turns to the “P” word and just how carried away the Town faithful should be getting, though Chris might have reasons not to be as excited…

It’s another important week ahead for Grimsby with a tricky looking trip to 9th placed Crewe on Tuesday night ahead of a home clash with Morecambe on Saturday. And in Part Two of the show Joel Shooter from the ‘Shrimps Trust Podcast’ joins the guys to help preview the latter and explain why the Lancashire club have struggled so much on and off the pitch so far this season…

Steve Young makes his debut as pod host this week and after the club’s announcement on Friday that more stringent checks would be put in place to ensure no food is brought into BP, he wastes no time in asking the big question of the day – did either of tonight’s panellists manage to sneak any contraband in on Saturday?!

Interrogation over with, the guys begin by discussing a comfortable win for The Mariners over Newport, the only downside being it wasn’t by a bigger margin. They then debate the reasons why Town could still make the play-offs or just as easily miss out. And all of that before Steve introduces a new feature - "Kit Watch!"

Jon Waldron from the ‘Essex County Daily Gazette’ joins the show in Part Two to help preview Grimsby’s trip to fellow play-off hopefuls and in-form Colchester Utd on Friday Night and it promises to be a tough test, though Charles’ prediction may suggest otherwise...

It was a disappointing week for the Mariners with back-to-back home defeats against Notts County and Salford bringing their unbeaten run to an abrupt end. Chris and the panel start by dissecting a sobering seven days for Town but find solace in the form of Geza David Turi’s eye catching debut. They then go on to discuss the club’s latest fans forum and some of the more interesting revelations from that. Spoiler alert - more ground maintenance is needed!

In Part Two Newport fan Ian Street from the brilliant ‘1912 Exiles’ podcast joins the show to help preview Town’s next game on Saturday and were not sure what needs the rest most; the players or the pitch!

Grimsby’s unbeaten run extended to eight games this week with a frustrating point at home to Tranmere on Tuesday night followed up by a statement win at league leaders Walsall on Saturday. Chris, Matt and new panellist Helen discuss, among other topics, the growing positivity in the squad and fanbase, our newfound confidence and potential play-off hopes. Of course though it wouldn’t be a Grimsby pod without some caution thrown in and our reliance on Danny Rose, the only fit recognised striker at present, and our continued injury frustrations are then also debated.

In Part Two Salford fan Danny from the ‘One Up Front Podcast’ joins the conversation to help preview another crucial week ahead for The Mariners with home games against two fellow play-off contenders…

Grimsby made it six games unbeaten this weekend notching a well deserved point at Cheltenham who, prior to the game, had been on an equally impressive run of form. The panel begin by dissecting an eventful game that saw, among other talking points, Jordan Wright make another penalty save and Harvey Rodgers grab the equaliser, vindicating his new found license to get forward. The guys then go on to discuss the full debut of Darragh Burns, a potentially pivotal run of fixtures coming up over the next fortnight and the 1.6 million loss in the publication of the latest club accounts released this week.

In the second half of the show Rob Petrucco from the ‘Yellow Ribbon Podcast’ returns to help preview The Mariners trip to table topping Walsall next weekend but not before the visit of manager-less Tranmere on Tuesday night…

Haddock was back on the menu on Saturday as Grimsby beat the Cod Army from Fleetwood 2-1 to record their fourth straight win in the league. Chris and Steve are this week joined by a guest panellist in the form of esteemed writer, poet and musician Pete Green who helps the guys discuss the battling performance and two moments of quality from George McEachran and Denver Hume that proved the difference.

Inspired by Pete’s writing from his teens, Chris then asks about the origin story of Cod Almighty, their time editing the fanzine for over seventeen years and stand out memories from following The Mariners home and away through the 90's and 00's. Pete then very kindly reads one of their poems, ‘The Glimpse’ and introduces tonight’s interlude music, ‘The Ballad of Phil Jevons’... "How can I object to you if you score four times in an afternoon..."

In Part Two, Gloucester Live journalist Jon Palmer returns to help the guys preview Grimsby’s tricky looking trip to Cheltenham next weekend, another of the leagues in form teams.

Chris drops to the bench for a rest this week so Adam steps in as host for the first time and gets straight down to business dissecting Grimsby’s impressive win at Doncaster on Saturday who, prior to the game, sat in the automatic promotion places. The guys discuss (among other topics) the team’s new found confidence, the eye catching form of Svanthorrson, McEachran and Obikwu and whether or not it’s too early for us to be checking hotel availability in London for the play off final weekend…!

In Part Two Fleetwood fan and EFL analyser Jack Kershaw joins the show to give his thoughts on Grimsby’s current form and help preview The Cod Army’s trip to Blundell Park next weekend which Adam dubs the “El Steels Menu-o”. And it had all been going so well…

Hosted by Adam Howard with guests Paul Savage, George Mann and Jack Kershaw. Produced and edited by Chris Mills.
