Buoyed by their recent unbeaten away form the Mariners returned to a wet and blustery Blundell Park on Saturday trying to end their home voodoo but sadly it remains for at least another week after a 1-0 defeat to Colchester. The panel begin by discussing the groundhog day feel to the game, our worrying lack of goals and if the formation has again become the problem. With no match preview this week the guys go on to chat about Matt Dean’s recent interview with David Artell which covered a wide range of subjects on his one year anniversary as the Town boss and then discuss vice-chair Jason Stockwood temporarily stepping back from the Grimsby board whilst he stands election for the role of ‘Greater Lincolnshire Major’… just don’t mention the ‘P’ word.  Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests George Mann and Adam Howard  Find all the latest VFTF news, archive episodes, written articles and panelist bios on our website - www.viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Fight The Feeling" by Kid Spirit.

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.  Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Charles Lumley, Jason Sadler and Jon Waldron  Find all the latest VFTF news, archive episodes, written articles and panelist bios on our website - www.viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Fight The Feeling" by Kid Spirit.

After a week off the VFTF team return to bring you up to speed on another busy week for the Mariners. The panel begin by discussing the disappointing defeat at home to non-league Wealdstone in the FA Cup 1st Round last weekend but without wanting to dwell too much quickly move on to Grimsby’s 5th consecutive away win, this time at AFC Wimbledon, the first time they’ve achieved such a feat since 1952! The guys dissect another battling display on the road with help from friend of the pod and Radio Humberside summariser Martin Gritton – A first clean sheet for Jordan Wright, a MOTM display from Tyrell Warren and a stereotypical poacher’s finish from Danny Rose. The lads also discuss Kieran Green’s impressive assist and why he is worth every penny of his contract extension and then journalist Chris Kirwan from The South Wales Argus joins the show to help preview Town’s trip to Newport next Saturday.  Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage, Steve Young and Chris Kirwan  Find all the latest VFTF news, archive episodes, written articles and panelist bios on our website - www.viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Fight The Feeling" by Kid Spirit.

It’s been another busy week for the Mariners and another week indicative of their season so far with a win on the road at Tranmere but a defeat at home to MK Dons. The panel begin by discussing a switch back to the 5-3-2 formation that has served them well previously and how it brought the best out of some players at Prenton Park but then move on to debate what might have caused another disappointing capitulation at Blundell Park, conceding twice in five minutes to surrender another lead. The lads finish part one by touching on David Artell’s concerns over the BP pitch and celebrate the contract extension of Danny Rose. EFL expert Gab Sutton joins the show in part two to help the team take a look at how League Two is starting to shape up after a quarter of the games have now been played; what’s impressed him about Grimsby, which clubs does he think are under and overachieving and what does he make of Ian Holloway’s return to management at Swindon?  Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Matt Dannatt, Adam Howard and Gabriel Sutton  Find all the latest VFTF news, archive episodes, written articles and panelist bios on our website - www.viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Fight The Feeling" by Kid Spirit.

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.   Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Claybourn, George Mann and Luke Payne  Find all the latest VFTF news, archive episodes, written articles and panelist bios on our website - www.viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Fight The Feeling" by Kid Spirit.

The Mariners were back on the road this weekend and back to winning ways, recording their third consecutive away win, 2-1 at Salford City. Though it wasn’t the prettiest display the panellists begin by praising the dogged nature of the performance and the squad’s new found ability to defend a lead. They then discuss the impact of the returning Doug Tharme, yet more injury concerns and Karl Robinson’s reaction interview – was it sour grapes from a man under pressure? In the second half of the show the guys are joined by Rob from ‘The Yellow Ribbon Podcast’ who helps them preview Grimsby’s next game; the visit of high flying Walsall on Saturday.  Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Claybourn, Steve Young and Rob Petrucco.  Find all the latest VFTF news, archive episodes, written articles and panelist bios on our website - www.viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Fight The Feeling" by Kid Spirit.

The Mariners this week picked up where they left off at Carlisle recording an impressive win at league leaders Gillingham on Tuesday night but were brought crashing back to earth with a disappointing 3-0 defeat at home to Doncaster on Saturday. The guys discuss at length the highs and lows from a week that very much encapsulates the season so far for Grimsby and then look ahead to our trip across the M62 to Salford next weekend, with the brilliant Danny Shepherd from the 'One Up Front' podcast joining the show to provide insight on the The Ammies.  Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage, Jason Sadler and Danny Shepherd  Follow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Fight The Feeling" by Kid Spirit.

It was an eventful afternoon in Cumbria for the Mariners as they came back from behind twice on Saturday to record their first away win of the season and their first back to back wins in the league for 18 months. The panellist’s begin by unpacking a chaotic match which included a first team debut for youth keeper Seb Auton after Jake Eastwood was stretchered off with a nasty injury and the potential physiological boost to an injury hit squad after such a milestone win. They then turn their attentions to a tough double game week ahead with a visit to top of the table Gillingham on Tuesday and home match with fellow promotion hopefuls Doncaster next weekend; Danny from The ‘Rambling Rovers’ podcast answering some questions on the latter.  Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Adam Howard and Sam Allen.  Follow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Fight The Feeling" by Kid Spirit.

Grimsby returned to winning ways on Saturday and it was only fitting they did with Blundell Park celebrating its 125th anniversary. The guys begin by discussing a different kind of win for the Mariners, grinding it out with only 10 men for the last 25 minutes of the game and standing resolute to record their first clean sheet of the campaign. They go on to discuss some of their favourite memories from over the years at BP and then turn their attentions to the game at Carlisle next Saturday, with guest Lee Rooney from ‘The Brunton Bugle Podcast’ providing insight on Town’s next opponents.  Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Claybourn, George Mann and Lee Rooney  Follow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Fight The Feeling" by Kid Spirit.

Grimsby failed to carry on their unbeaten home start to the new season with Barrow inflicting a 2-1 defeat on an out of sorts Mariners side. The guys begin by trying to pin point where it went wrong for Artell’s men, whether dropping keeper Jordan Wright was the correct call and whether or not fans are right to question the manager’s methods. They then discuss the more positive news of new investors to the club and joke as to whether they’ll be bidding on the latest Main Stand memorabilia. The show is wrapped up with a look ahead to next weekend’s game against Bromley with Ravens fan Andrew Miller… Will Andy Woodman return to spoil Blundell Park’s 125th birthday celebrations?  Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Young, Charles Lumley and Andrew Miller  Follow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com  Supported by Message in a Bottle - www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes  Intro / Outro music - "Fight The Feeling" by Kid Spirit.
