THE Fishy has now reached a total of 5,000 pages. This makes it one the biggest independent supporters sites in the Rivals network, and the largest and most popular fans site on the entire Internet with up to 50,000 page impressions per day. (audited figures)

It is also soon to achieve 2,000 registered subscribers to the Message Board but hundreds more, who do not use the Message Board facility and fans from other clubs and subscribers to other sites bring a total of approximately 3,000 people regularly to the site.

BRIEF HISTORY

The Fishy was originally the Grimsby Town International Supporters Club website, which gradually developed into a site for all Mariners fans which enabled us to make the decision to create a new site for GTISC and place the Fishy into the Rivals Network.

Since joining the Rivals Network, the Fishy has become a source for newspaper and radio journalists who constantly seek comments, opinions and information from us. In return we have built a strong network of contacts and sources in the media, football clubs and other participants in the football industry such as agents, commentators and feature writers.

The Fishy has a team comprising up to a dozen writers plus subscribers who write regularly for the site. These contributions enable the site to be updated more frequently than any other independent football site.
