Has Andi Thanoj managed to hook up with a club?

6 August 2014

Hello, its Stop Gap Diary here, brought to you by the sudden realisation that London Diary is in Edinburgh.

The Telegraph report suggests Jon-Paul Pittman, one of a handful of senior players used last night was the key figure in Grimsby's 2-1 win at Brigg. He scored the first goal and set up the second before being substituted at half-time. If you are trying to hang on to your early-August positivity, I strongly recommend you use this link to find out what the club has to say about the game (and indeed go back to our revised and corrected quiz rather than read on below).

Navigate through the news page on the ever-superb official site and you will find yourself having to tiptoe past a plug for the new stadium petition. You may resent the vague suggestion that all true Mariners should accept unquetioningly the arguments for relocation, but it is at least club business.

Then there is something headlined "Thank you Easy Buy". This is not about Paul Hurst's close season transfer policy. It is a piece of crass advertising copy for a hire purchase company. "We would like to thank Easy Buy for their continued support of the club. Please support the people who support your club" it begins. The piece is footnoted with a frank enough plug for advertising on the website. Several questions come to mind. Lets content ourselves with 'why is this page under the news menu?'
