Yep, too right and I got my season ticket the other year when we didn't even know which league we would be in.
Will be getting mine in due course.

I would imagine it's because Anderson thought he could make brierley into a fullback..... Stone had other ideas.

Whilst he wouldn't necessarily been my choice as a think he is comfortably past his best i can see why we have gone for him but what i don't get is why 2 years? That takes him well past his 34th birthday, surely a year would have been better and see how things are going after that.

Underwhelmed on this one to be honest and especially with the fact he has been given a two year deal. Heres hoping that we havent splashed the cash too much on this one and that more convincing signings are just around the corner.

I do though, however feel that we needed cover there and hope this signing prove me wrong.

If it is just as back up he may only play the odd game here and there.

He can cover various positons in the backs but unfortunately he isnt blessed with much pace these days

So why was he not re signed by Stone ?

I can remember that last fullback we got from Shudds and he was a great club favourite but turned out utter dross for us.

Grix may have all the mental qualities and be a great human being but his age means we are taking a massive unnecessary risk

FFS! I'm taking my season ticket back tomorrow.

I've no desire to stand in a ground surrounded by a bunch of miserable sods who are obviously living in cloud cuckoo land.

If I were Carter, I'd pull the plug now. Some of you don't deserve a team to support.

I'm comfortable with him being a back up utility player. Tbh I'm not sure who people think we're going to sign, when they aren't even going to be first choice in the 17 each week. Until we see all the signings we've made and what the squad looks like , how can people say we're going backwards, or we could have signed better. How do they know who'd come here or who we've inquired about and got a knock back from.

This. How can people say he's a waste of money when they don't even know how much money he's on? We might have got him on a good deal for us. Is he gonna be first choice? Probably not, but he can cover anywhere in the back line if someone gets injured which is exactly the kind of player you want as a squad player.

Maybe the club offer something like a one year deal on x thousand, or a two year deal but on 5-10k less a year. As I say, unless people know exactly what kind of money he's on then you can't really say whether it's worth it or not.

By all means take your ticket back Hank, but I don't think they'll give you your brass back, and allow people to express their opinion!!

A lot of Giants praising Grix on Twitter tonight. Hopefully he can guide max and make sure he fulfills his potential

I agree with a lot of posters with the unwarranted negativity about Grix. I recall similar previously with Paul Sykes at a similar age and he turned into a decent signing. Have confidence in Chris Chester and John Kear who will be influential in signings.

He's a Trinity player now so should get 100% support.....not criticised and he's not even worn the shirt yet!

And all I've done is express MY OPINION on the volume of clueless doommongers that supposedly 'support' the club.

Grix ain't no world beater, but he's here and he's one of ours and will give of his best! Welcome back sir!

Just watched Saturdays game and Grix wasn't outstanding but caught the ball well and linked into the line every now and then.
Only real mistake he made was trying to clear kick through when Allgood scored.
He's a fullback that can catch a ball, that's got to be an improvement on the players that have played there when Max hasn't!

Grix catch a ball? I look forward to seeing him try to deal with Brough's kicks next season, that should be good.

Welcome back Scott.

Play Max in them two games!
Don't worry the clocks will be going back in a months time, more bleak, dark, cold fun nights at the Willzay household!

He would'nt have practised in training would he

Like many I'm a little underwhelmed by this signing but I'm prepared to back him while ever he's playing for us. He offers utility value and I guess will cover various positions in the back line. I'm sure there'll be bigger fish announced soon and trust the club are doing their utmost to get us the best they can.

32 year old has been really a never was - wakey to a tee " we do not want to improve"

Surely being a full back who can cover at a push the halves and brings the right attitude and mentality is better than a tansey?

Tansey is a miles better player than Grix, Hall is a better player by a country mile, why have we let a gifted player like Hall go and brought in a old knackered dud like Grix is beyond belief. I would have kept Hall, let Tansey go, used the money saved on letting Tansey go and the money saved on not signing Grix and Wood and made a serious effort to sign Hampshire. That would be a proper signing, a Wakey lad, a young player with years ahead of him. a player who is on a different level ability wise than anyone else in the squad, a durable player whose signature would sell season tickets. Don`t kid yourself Grix is on decent money, if we had to sign him out of some loyalty to Kear, who will be difficult to say no to, then at best it should have been on a pay as you play basis only.

I couldn't get past your first 8 words. No he's really not! And the difference in professionalism is astounding! He's older and slower than he was when he last played for you, and I'm sure the joints are struggling- but he has one of the best cardio fitness levels at our club. He's never going to be a world beater I agree. He's taken some stick from some of our fans, who see the odd missed one on one tackles (when at least two other blokes have missed) or a dropped ball under pressure and call him on that. But don't underestimate how he can and will organise a defensive line. Check out our points against when he hasn't played compared to when he has. Have a chat to players in the know whove played alongside him, they think highly of him and they will tell you how well he can read plays. you have to look beyond the obvious errors he makes. He won't win you trophies, but that's not why you signed him.

We have had to move players round and out of their normal position so this will mean some effective cover and while he is certainly older I think he can do a good job for us. Welcome back.
