After a much-earnt week off the guys return to catch up on three games in three different competitions for the Mariners over the past seven days. First the panel debate the defensive make up and fragility in the 3-2 league defeat at Crewe last Saturday. Then they turn their attentions to the 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Premier League Brentford in the Carabao Cup last sixteen on Tuesday and the ruthless nature of the visitors finishing. And lastly they discuss the 1st Round FA Cup game with non-league Ebbsfleet in which it took another sending off for the opposition before the Mariners got going, eventually coming from behind to win 3-1. What factors contributed to the side’s lacklustre first half performance and how did the returning Danny Rose and Jason Dadi Svanthorrson fair after starting alongside each other for the first time this season?

Grimsby bounced back from the disappointing home defeat at the hands of Colchester last weekend with an encouraging display back at BP against fellow promotion hopefuls Gillingham but they were helped on their way by an opponent being reduced to nine men for the second time this season. The panel begin by focusing on the encouraging opening half an hour performance by the Mariners whilst it was still a level playing field, the impact three changes to the starting XI made and then assess just how many of the pivotal decisions the referee got right.

In Part Two, BBC Radio Stoke’s Graham McGarry helps the guys preview Town’s trip to Crewe next weekend; will David Artell be able to get one over his old club again and lump yet more pressure on Lee Bell in the opposite dugout?

NB - Apologies for the sound quality of Graham's audio in places.

Town returned to Blundell Park buoyed after their impressive win at Salford and were looking to record three straight wins for the first time all season, but alas, it wasn’t to be and our inconsistent home form reared it’s ugly head again. The guys dissect the defeat to Colchester, the effects of Danny Cowley’s touchline antics, how and why Town stopped playing again after a bright opening half an hour and look on enviously at the impact U’s striker Micah Mbick had on the game.

In Part Two, Tom Jasper from the ME17 Podcast joins the conversation and explains how we might be in for more of the same frustration when Gillingham visit Blundell Park on Saturday…

Town return to winning ways on the road and regular host Chris returns to look back at another impressive performance by The Mariners, this time at much fancied Salford in the heavy wind and rain. The panel begin by discussing the evolution of the side’s away performances, how scoring “way too early” in games is no longer something to dread and the continuing form of a rejuvenated Charles Vernam. The guys then discuss the greater squad depth available to manager David Artell now and how that might effect the way we can set up against differing opposition and the under rated assurance keeper Christy Pym and defender Cameron McJannet are bringing to the side.

In Part Two, sports writer Jon Waldron from the Essex Daily Gazette joins the conversation to help preview Colchester’s visit to Blundell Park next weekend and sheds light on why the U’s have struggled in the league so far this season… That is until yesterday when they thumped Chesterfield 6-2, typical!

This week it’s the turn of Adam Howard to host the show again and he does so in exemplary fashion looking back at the big talking points coming out of BP from over the last seven days; our last sixteen Carabao Cup draw against Brentford, Cam Gardner’s lengthy injury lay off and the emphatic win over managerless Cheltenham. The guys discuss the stunning strikes of Jamie Walker as he stakes a claim for a regular starting spot, our relentless attacking play despite two sending’s off for the Robins and a welcome return for fans favourite Jason Dadi Svanthorsson.

In Part Two, friend of the pod and Salford devote, Danny Shepherd joins the conversation to help preview The Mariners trip to The Ammies next weekend; surely it couldn’t be an early promotion “six pointer”?!

It was a week of mixed emotions for the travelling Town faithful with success on the road at Hillsborough on Tuesday night, claiming another scalp in the Carabao Cup – this time Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, but then a humbling 3-0 defeat at Barnet in the league on Saturday, our first away from home all season. The guys begin by commending the players after prevailing in an unusual game and atmosphere mid-week but then turn their attentions to the more worrying display on Saturday and one that David Artell described as “abject”. Why is there a downward trend in performances? How much are we contributing to our own downfall? And how much do we miss the influential Kieran Green when he’s unavailable?

In Part Two, journalist Jon Palmer from Gloucester Live joins the show to help preview the visit of bottom club, and now manager-less, Cheltenham Town to Blundell Park next weekend.

The Mariners were left frustrated by stubborn opposition for a second home game running on Saturday, Justin Amaluzor’s injury time equaliser rescuing a point against Cambridge Utd. The panel dissect a disjointed performance devoid of any real quality and debate whether it was “just one of those days” or if there are any underlying concerns with our performances at home. They then discuss Artell’s and the players in game management, whether there is a perceived lack of a Plan B at present and how much another poor reffereeing display contributed to our downfall.

In the second half of the show the guys turn their attention to Tuesday nights 3rd Round Carabao Cup tie at Sheffield Wednesday, a club currently in turmoil on and off the pitch and then Bees fan and sports writer Trevor Knell joins the conversation to help preview Town’s trip to newly promoted Barnet on Saturday…

Usual host Chris is away this week so Steven Young has the questionable honour of being in the hot seat and wastes no time getting down to business and discussing a busy week for The Mariners, on and off the pitch. The sides statement 3-2 win at MK Dons on Saturday rightfully takes centre stage but the controversial defeat at Bradford mid-week in the EFL Trophy, deadline day signings, the club’s fine for fielding an ineligible player against Man Utd and Jason Stockwood being appointed Minister of Investment are all topics covered... Just don’t ask Charles his opinion on the club that shouldn’t be named!

Then, in Part Two, Tom Walker from the brilliant “Under the Abbey Stand” Podcast joins the guys to help preview the visit of Cambridge on Saturday and provides in depth insight on The U’s...

After their cup heroics against Man Utd mid-week, Town were brought back to earth with a bump on Saturday; visitors Bristol Rovers inflicting The Mariners first defeat in all competitions this season. The panel start by dissecting a perhaps understandable lethargic first half display and then discuss the impact substitutes George McEachran and Darragh Burns had on a much improved second half performance which saw Town do everything but score an equaliser. They then touch on the circus surrounding the Utd win and its likely effects on the players, a questionable refereeing display and the positives to take into the second month of the season.

In part two the team speculate as to what deadline day business the club might do on Monday and which areas of David Artell’s squad still need strengthening, if any! And they finish by looking ahead to another test of the teams progress at big spending MK Dons next weekend...

The Mariners were on the road twice this week and followed up an impressive win at last seasons beaten play-off finalists Walsall in mid-week with a hard earned point at Accrington on Saturday. However, the guys begin by discussing what might have been in the latter game, Town again rueing missed chances and another missed penalty before allowing their lesser opponents a route back into the game. Is the lack of a ruthlessness becoming an issue for the team or is it a good sign we're creating chances consistently? The panellists then revel in the resolute Walsall win and another MOTM performance from fans favourite Kieran Green.

In Part Two, Keane Frayney from the ‘Talking Devils’ podcast joins the show to help preview Grimsby’s 2nd round Carabao Cup tie against Premier League giants Manchester United on Wednesday and rates Town’s chances of a potential upset…

If the kids are united? It's a big if...

Grimsby kept up their unbeaten start to the season with two more home wins this week, first putting Shrewsbury to the sword in the Carabao Cup and then beating Newport in the league with goals in the very first and last minute of the game bookending another confident display. The guys start by discussing the strength and depth of the squad, the pleasing impact fringe players and substitutes are starting to have and how missing that clinical edge nearly came back to bite us on Saturday. Talk then turns to stand out individual performances, such as that of match winner Kieran Green who is the physical embodiment of the teams never say die attitude and then the small matter of drawing Man Utd in the second round of the cup!

In Part Two, EFL pundit Ed Walker joins the show to help preview The Mariners next two games against Walsall and Accrington and then gives his opinion on how Artell’s men have started the campaign, which Town player he is most excited about and which teams in League Two have impressed, disappointed and surprised him the most so far.

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.
