Quoted from HertsGTFC


I am sure there must be some pitch space available in Grimsby, even if it's an artificial surface. When I was a kid the players used to train at schools which made it a little bit of an event for the hosts and also drummed up a few younger new fans. I suppose the lack of school fields puts a damper on that these days?


Not sure they would be allowed to do this in the modern era - you would need to have CRB checks on all the players and coaching staff before they were allowed on site!

CRB does not exist anymore it's now DBS = Disclosure Barring Service. Under the agreement of a Safeguarding officer they could possibly go in under chaperone as they would not be directly working with pupils. Immaterial now though as modern managers appear to want training "facilities" rather than "pitches"

Why don't we just use the 4G pitch at Bradley if that is available

Last week was half-term so Bradley FDC would've been fully booked with the kids courses and parties they do.

Quoted from Caveman
When Bill Shankly was our manager the beach was plenty good enough for
training.

If it was good enough for him it should be good enough for the current crop.


And that was between being a coalman in the morning and a lumper down docks at night. They were real men in those days.

Things move on and i'm sure there are places the team can run around and train but we need somewhere with all the facilities in one place.

We used to play hours on the beach during the winter months when I was a kid,

Until the tide came in  

Not possible in the summer as we had lots of yorkies taking their holidays in Cleethorpes in the 50's early 60's

It was great for building your fitness up.


Ah!  thats who they were,  a virtual army of strange talking men with trousers turned up to the knees, knotted handkerchiefs pulled over their white bald heads, dull coloured braces and brown sandals, carrying an assortment of acquired Skegness and Mablethorpe faded deckchairs, see wife n bairns ok and then T pub
