For those who’ve been asking…
I’ve not been around recently after losing my Dad.
It’s been the hardest time of my life but memories give me strength along with the kindness of those who’ve been in touch x
2️⃣5️⃣ years of service ✅
A proud moment for me.
Huge thanks to all my colleagues, past and present, and most importantly you for listening and watching along the way ❤️
Non-league days at

Not now.
Exclusive:

players have agreed to take a pay cut of up to 25% to help secure the future of the club.
I’m told that full pay will eventually be restored once fans are back watching games at Blundell Park.
Rob Edwards is a class act.
After Grimsby beat his Luton side and went on to beat Southampton, Paul Hurst told me Rob was one of the first to send him a congratulatory text.
A genuine man.

Indications are that Grimsby Town will be looking after Sean Scannell in to next season.
A short term deal will be a huge boost to him.
It may end up with him in a black and white shirt again!

Understand when Paul Hurst and Chris Doig returned to
#gtfc
they were shocked at the state of the club.
Summed up by the balls at the training ground being out of shape and no longer round.
If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.

How on earth do you replace a broadcaster giant like
@bbcburnsy
?
Simple answer. You can’t.
Deeply saddened that a friend and colleague of so much substance is leaving BBC Radio Humberside.
“My dad gave me a hug after that.
I have no words to describe how good the feeling is.”
17-year-old Mattie Pollock is beaming after his professional debut.

Hi. Just a quick one from me. For those that have asked or wondered where I’ve gone to...
I’ve not been well for a little while now. I’m very grateful to those that have been in touch or sent well wishes. Thank you.
Hopefully back soon.
Johnny Whiteley spent his final afternoon in hospital listening to

on the radio yesterday.
His family feel it was fitting that his passing on the 13th matched his shirt number at the club.

I understand a new

board is being formed which is set to include Simon Elliott, Roj Rahman, Ian Sharp and George Aitkenhead.
I’m told the winding up order will be paid off immediately.
Talks are believed to be ongoing to stay at Glanford Park.

These guys have had a stinker but they’re *still* smiling 😀
They travelled all the way from Holland for Grimsby v Harrogate, only for the game to be postponed two hours before kick-off!

An apology to the fans.
Had planned to do a BBC Look North piece tomorrow on
#gtfc
’s game at Luton.
The club invited me to today’s press conference, my first since the fans forum. However Russell Slade refused to talk to me and denied me access to speak with players.
David Artell says he spoke to his old Rotherham team mate Paul Hurst about the job.
“He gave the owners a terrific reference…which I have to say is a credit to Paul.”

One to listen to, especially if you’re heading to Brighton:
Important for me to thank you all for your “welcome back” tweets today.
I’m genuinely bowled over by your kindness and thoughtfulness.
Cheers for taking the time to be nice.
End of a very long season.
Big thanks for listening to our coverage.

It’s appreciated.

The Club is believed to be in fresh dialogue with IH and, perhaps significantly, showing him they’re keen to bring him to Blundell Park.
