CROWD favourite Lee Ashcroft's on-off move to Grimsby seems back on after he travelled to Blundell Park for talks.
The attacker has been targeted by former West Brom boss Alan Buckley at Grimsby who have made PNE a new £500,000 offer.
Ashcroft, who has recently been wanted by St Johnstone and Wigan, had pledged to stay at the club and honour his new four-year contract.
Chief Executive Peter Church said: "We have received a number of bids from Grimsby who have now offered £500,000 - a price for which we think suitable for the player. But we've spoken to Lee and told him we don't want him to go."
A decision from Ashcroft is expected in the next 24 hours.
