We’re back for 2025 and with a busy Christmas period to catch up on the guy’s waste no time in reviewing the four games played over the last twelve days. Very much as a reflection of the season as a whole to date the Mariners blew hot and cold during that period with two impressive home wins but also two disappointing away defeats and the panel try to understand further the reasons behind our inconsistent form and the ways we could perhaps combat it.

Then in part two of the show Daniel Storey, chief football writer for the i Newspaper, very kindly joins the podcast to discuss his recent trip to Blundell Park as part of his quest to visit all 92 Premier and Football League grounds in one season and tells the guys why he lists BP as one of his favourite in the country…

Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Matt Dannatt, Steve Young and Daniel Storey.

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...

Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Adam Howard, Steve Young, Paul Savage and Steve Claybourn.

Like many of the Town squad by all accounts, host Chris was struck down by illness last week and so there are two games for our panellists to catch up on tonight. Firstly the self-proclaimed play off battle with Crewe a week ago in which Town came up short with a 2-0 defeat and that is followed up by Saturday’s disappointing loss at Ian Holloway’s Swindon, and one that marked The Mariners much beleaguered ex managers 1000th career game. The guys pick the bones out of the back to back defeats and try to find perspective and context after what many described as our worst performance of the season to date. Dave Moore’s recently announced retirement is then touched upon before fellow Town fan and host of the ‘Fourth Tier Fever Podcast’ Jordan Richards joins the show to help preview Town’s busy Christmas schedule with four games coming up in just twelve days.

Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage, Charles Lumley and Jordan Richards.
