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.
