  1. 4 MAY

    High As Hope

    Town rounded off the regular season with a 1-1 draw at Tranmere, confirming a play-off semi-final against Salford. Matt and the panel look back at a thankfully uneventful afternoon with no more injuries, squad players given minutes and Justin Amaluzor continuing his return to form. Have he and Clarke Oduor played their way into unlikely starts in our biggest games of the season? In Part Two Danny from the “One Up Front” Salford City Blog joins the conversation to help preview that all important play-off bout with the Ammies. Might the disappointment of missing out on automatic promotion on final day weigh heavy on the Salford players, how is Karl Robinson likely to set-up over the two legs and which of the Town squad does Danny fear the most? See you on the other side! +++ Hosted by Matt Dannatt with guests Jason Sadler, Charles Lumley and Danny Shepherd.

  2. Crest Of A Wave

    27 APR

    Crest Of A Wave

    Well, what were we worried about?! Town secure a League Two play-off place for the first time in two decades after a potentially season defining week and back-to-back wins against fellow promotion contenders Cambridge and Swindon. Chris and the panel begin by admiring two very different performances; one dogged and determined, the other relentless and confident but both with the same glorious outcome. Attentions then turn to individual stand out displays such as that of Cameron McJannet on Tuesday night and then Maldini Kacurri, Geza David Turi and hat-trick hero Jaze Kabia on Saturday. How important has squad rotation proven to be, how far could this new found form carry us and can we now finally afford ourselves a laugh at Ian Holloway’s expense? The guys then discuss the selection headache facing David Artell ahead of a final day trip to Tranmere, debate the pro’s and con’s of resting players and then wonder who we may need to fear in the play-offs... Or are we now the team others will fear? +++ Hosted and prodcued by Chris Mills with guests Sam Allen and Adam Howard.

  3. Time For Heroes

    20 APR

    Time For Heroes

    It was another nail-biting week for Grimsby fans as they saw their team lose at play-off rivals Chesterfield on Tuesday night but then respond with an emphatic 4-1 win at lowly Gillingham on Saturday to keep promotion dreams alive for a little longer yet. Host Steve Young and the panel dissect both games, wonder how costly yet another penalty miss might be and applaud the bouncebackability the squad continue to show when the chips are down. The guys then discuss Harvey Rodgers inclusion in the ‘League Two Team of the Year’ but consider the fact he might not even be in the conversation for the club’s own POTY next weekend with a lot of strong competition for the gong. And which strike do the panellists think will be the pick of the bunch for goal of the season? The episode is rounded off with a look ahead to an arguably season defining week and games against Cambridge and Swindon. It's now or never! +++ Hosted by Steven Young with guests Dave Laister and Paul Savage. Edited and produced by Chris Mills.

    13 APR

    Now That We're Here, We May As Well Go Too Far

    It’s a jam-packed episode this week with lots for Chris and the panel to catch up with on and off the pitch. They start by looking back at the uninspiring Harrogate defeat on Good Friday before quickly turning attentions to the more positive performances against Crawley and Crewe which heralded six deserved points; could Clarke Odour still have an unlikely say on the outcome of Town’s season and how important could Andy Cook’s MOTM display be in the second of those aforementioned games? The guys then discuss several off field announcements from the past fortnight; the club’s published accounts from the 25/26 tax year, a new shirt sponsor in Blackrow Engineering and the price increase of the 26/27 season tickets. Are fans still getting value for money and should season ticket holders receive loyalty points to gain extra priority for away games? The gang round of the episode by previewing our mouth watering trip to immediate play-off rivals Chesterfield on Tuesday night and then also the trip to Gillingham next weekend, aided by Matt from the ‘Gills In The Blood’ YouTube channel. It’s a busy one, so grab a brew and settle in! +++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Helen Walker and Liam Wood.

    Beginning Of The Twist

    With no game to discuss this week thanks to the impromptu international break, Adam leads the panel on a preview of the run-in and Grimsby’s final eight games. What impact will injuries have? Which are the crucial fixtures and who will prove to be Town’s key players? With help from the “Fishy Predictor” the guys then have a go at guessing the final standings and it’s fair to say the discussion raises an eyebrow or two! They also react to the news Harvey Rodgers has signed a new two year deal with the club and our season preview guests Gab Sutton and Matt Dean return to give their valued opinion on how Town’s season may pan out. Whichever way you look at it, there are plenty of twists and turns still to come so strap in! +++ Hosted by Adam Howard with guests Steve Claybourn and George Mann.

    23 MAR

    Thunder Road

    Grimsby have played a further three times since we last recorded so Chris and the panel waste no time examining the six points gained from a possible nine over the last week, keeping The Mariners in a play-off berth for now. Why were we so flat at Oldham? And despite winning both games, why did the score-lines against Fleetwood and Barrow perhaps not tell the full story? The guys then go on to discuss the untimely injuries to Charles Vernam and Evan Khouri and debate whether the impending international break will prove a help or a hinderance with just eight games left to play. +++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage and Jason Sadler Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus   Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.com Follow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com     Intro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Outro Music - "Hurt Then, Hurts Now" by Kid Spirit - Listen on Spotify   Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilvers Graphics - Liam McLennan Photography - Jon Corken +++ Hosted on Acast.

    Cold Dreaming

    Grimsby made a return to the play-off places for the first time since November this week after another vital four points were gained against fellow promotion hopefuls Salford and Bromley. The panel start by dissecting the back to back home games, the clinical nature of our goals against The Amies and our endeavour against the league leaders. The guys then debate the conflicting styles of Grimsby and Saturday’s visitors Bromley and which of the clubs might have the last laugh before discussing the recently announced contract extension of poster boy Charles Vernam. In Part Two the guys are joined by Oldham disability liaison officer and freelance journalist Aaron Diskin who provides an depth insight on how the Latics have faired on their first season back in the football league after a 3 year hiatus and why next weekend’s visit to Boundary Park will be far from easy for The Mariners. +++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Dave Laister, Charles Lumley and Aaron Diskin Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus   Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.com Follow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com     Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify   Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilvers Graphics - Liam McLennan Photography - Jon Corken +++ Hosted on Acast.

    Machineries Of Joy

    Town bounced back from the disappointment of last week’s defeat at Bristol Rovers with a statement win over an in form Notts County side at Meadow Lane. The panel begin by dissecting the team performance but also that of individuals such as the returning Jayden Sweeney and Maldini Kacurri and match winner Charles Vernam. The guys then give their thoughts on the controversial red card for County’s Lee Ndlovu and the ongoing debate over young striker Judre Soonsup-Bell; is he doing a self-less job for the team or not doing enough to contribute in games? The conversation then moves on to recent interviews given by ex-Town players Max Crocombe and John McAtee and the surprising effect Grimsby has seemingly had on both of their careers before attentions turn to another potentially pivotal week ahead for The Mariners; Salford and Bromley fans Danny Shepherd and Andrew Miller helping preview back to back home games in Town’s on going search of a play-off place. +++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Helen Walker and George Mann.
