Sad demise of traditional journalism in this country. Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name.

A local newspaper run by people with a genuine interest in North East Lincs. Nigel Lowther is a thoroughly genuine bloke with the interests of GTFC firmly in his heart. Looks like we'll have to rely on a "local" paper printed in The Midlands.. The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress. Joseph Joubert.

Guest User	Quoted from supertown Why do I get the chronicle free every week ? Never really understood that So that they can attract advertisers by saying "if you put an advert in our paper it will reach n-thousand local homes".

They are lovely people and big Grimsby Town supporters and season ticket holders. Closing the paper Nigel had put so much love into, must have been one hell of a hard decision; and I will miss my weekly read.   Supporting Town for 65 years.

I never went looking for one but maybe that's an avenue that Nigel could go down if he wants to keep his hand in what's going on in Cleethorpes and its surrounds?

The Grimsby telegraph is awful it no longer as any ties to the town often gets stories mixed up and relies on second hand social media from the internet. The web site is so full of intrusive advertising it is like a mine field trying to read any article the first hurdle is always that stupid survey that immediately hijacks the page which puts most peoples back up straight away.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

I will never forget him arranging a feature in the newspaper and bringing Justin Whittle to visit me in hospital, following my heart attack in 2008. Good luck for the future Nigel The Icenian Prediction League Winner 2011  .......the first Champion!
