On Friday night we're holding an event that's a bit different in the trust bar under the Findus Stand: Can You Hear The Grimsby Sing? An evening of words and music celebrating our football club, culture and community. You'll find more details on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/events/375625159453505/ Its a kind of follow up to the book We are Town.

So a competititon. No free tickets, but I'll buy a pint on the night to the person who names the most players who are mentioned in the pieces that will be performed - there are at least 70 players named. First person to name the player (and I do mean players, or at least player- manager) gets the point for that player. Bonus points for players who are the main subject of any particular piece.

You can only name five players in a post, and when you've posted once, you have to wait until two more people have posted before you can post again.

Does that make sense? Guess I'll find out when you start posting

Decent start - one bonus pointer and another scorer (Burnett should arguably be a bonus pointer himself). The other three are such good guesses I was a bit surprised they didn't score

(My post doesn't count as one of the ones that's got to happen until you post again, natch)

Remember its only the first person to name a player who gets a point for that player, so there's no point in repeating them in any case. You get at least one point for that selection

Decent guesses, based on a knowledge of the age of the promoter. But in fact I've only one piece in the show, and I only name Paul Futcher in it (still heart-stopping to think about him, isn't it?). Someone else mentions one of your names though, so you are well in the hunt.

Not at all- decent shout. You don't get anything for Phil Jevons and Wayne Burnett as Rich Mariner has already nabbed them. But you get two points for your other three.
