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...

Jigsaw Falling Into Place

03/10/25 • 52 min
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...

Sadly it was another away day to forget for Grimsby on Saturday as they succumbed far too easily to a struggling Barrow side. The guys begin the episode by looking back at the 3-0 defeat and try to understand why it might be going so wrong for the Mariners on the road. They then debate whether a change of formation or personnel might be the answer before discussing the recently announced new signing, Irishman Darragh Burns from MK Dons, and two outgoings from the club this week in Rekeil Pyke and youth sensation Grayson Giles.
In part two of the show, a double game week is previewed with the visit of Gillingham to Blundell Park on Tuesday night and then a trip south to Bromley on Saturday; Ravens fan Andrew Miller joins the show to help look ahead to the latter and round up the latest standings in League Two...

Hopes And Fears - 23/24 Season Review Part 2
View From The Findus
05/16/24 • 65 min
The guys return with part two of their end of season review and pick up the story on New Years Day and the disastrous 6-1 home defeat to Walsall which would turn out to be the start of a nightmare couple of months for The Mariners. They follow the season through to its conclusion and eventual safety for Artell’s men thanks in the main part to a change in formation and a more pragmatic approach to his playing style. Be sure to listen to the end of the episode as the lads conclude their first season as a podcast with the inaugural VFTF Awards; who at the club deserves special recognition (beyond Danny Rose!) and which member of the pod made the most bloopers?!
PLEASE NOTE – Due to the nature of the set up for this live recording, frustratingly, the audio is not quite to the usual standard and was more difficult to edit. As a result there are some pockets of distortion and interference but hopefully it’s not too much of an inconvenience!

Boos rang out around Blundell Park after Grimsby’s 2-0 defeat to Accrington on Saturday and the guys spend the first half of this week’s episode discussing why fan unrest has started to creep in and try to dissect a pretty abject performance. They also chat Otis Khan’s international debacle, Evan Khouri’s new contract, the FA cup first round draw and, somewhat tentatively, look ahead to the Stockport game next weekend with help from The Hatter's fan podcast 'The Scarf Bergara Wore'...

The rollercoaster that has been Grimsby's season so far took a dip again this weekend as The Mariners were humbled 4-1 at home to a ruthless Walsall side. The panel look back at another disappointing capitulation and discuss the team’s mentality, belief and defensive concerns. But it wasn’t all doom and gloom as the guys agree an impressive first half display perhaps didn’t get the rewards it deserved. They then look back at the fans forum held on Friday evening and the main talking points from that before previewing another double game week and the matches with Tranmere and MK Dons; Luke Payne from the ‘Fourth Tier Fever’ Podcast providing insight on the latter.

The Glimpse - With Guest Panellist Pete Green
View From The Findus
02/24/25 • 60 min
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.

So The Mariners missed an opportunity to re-write the history books on Saturday and secure a record breaking sixth straight away win but they did at least remain unbeaten on the road with a hard fought point at Newport, remarkably our first draw of the season. The guys begin by discussing whether or not it was a point gained or two dropped, the heroics of MOTM Jordan Wright and the controversial penalty award he superbly saved. The conversation then moves on to the recent cup success of the youth team, the senior debuts for Callum Storr and Henry Brown and the exciting future of the club’s academy. Journalist Jon Waldron joins the show on the half hour mark to help provide an in depth insight on Town’s next opponents, Colchester United.

Christmas Special - The Season So Far
View From The Findus
12/25/24 • 50 min
Who needs Gavin and Stacey when the VFTF boys are on hand with their first ever Christmas Special! Pour yourself a bailey’s, grab that last mince pie and settle down by the fire to hear the guys reflect on the first half of Grimsby’s season and some of the standout players and performances so far. Who have been the surprise packages, unsung hero’s and, dare we say it, biggest disappointments to date? Aswell as that all four guests are asked to give their POTY so far and rate the team’s performance with an old fashioned school grade of A* to F. Adding some Christmas frivolity along the way we also find out what the guy’s would buy a member of the squad in a hypothetical Secret Santa and look back at some of their favourite memories of past GTFC Christmas games. A leisurely listen for all Town fans during the festive break...
