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...
