So after yet another Gimpathon and the Salopfest, time to be a little more parochial.

I see that our neighbours (well most of yours but not mine as such) are top of the table with 5 wins in 5 and plus 11GD. They've done bloody well so far. Early days but they won away at a side that haven't been beaten at home in 49 games.

I notice that Chasetown are in their league.

They beat us 2-1 in the F.A. Trophy in 2011.

Are they the lowest ranked team to beat Town in a competitive game?

Also, Newcastle Town in the Evo-Stick South league, WTF?

Do they still have the aim of moving back to the Linden club?? Thought they had planning permission but maybe not the money?

How much higher do they have to go before they become rivals?

Was it a good match Barra ? 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Would that have been played at the old ground in Abbey Road?

Apparently the game kicked off at 12:00 on police advice and the pubs remained closed.

There were running battles in The Wheatsheaf car park apparently.

Received £50,000 last year from buildbase in a national competition which i think was enough to get them playing at the linden club,i believe they've been spending it lately on changing rooms and i think they are soon to be sorting the pitch out.

On another note Cleethorpes are joint top with Basford united who themselves have a decent striker in liam hearn who scored both the goals in their last match.

If they keep getting promoted maybe they could ground share with the mariners.

I think Clee are upgrading the Linden Club facilities before they can move back there. Not sure what level it is currently eligible for - just comparing it to the local club at the same tier (Corinthian Casuals in the Isthmian League Div One South) I'd say it's below that (no covered seating).

So yeah, they're hitting that ground standard ceiling pretty soon, and you'd have to wonder how much further they could go without either a sugar daddy or a big increase in attendance (but JS Fenty is helping them out with the latter).

Don't be ridiculous.


In the 1880s it'd be a coach (and horses) park

I see they won again today.

Not the best of performances today but 3 points and a pair of cracking goals...what they lack in skill is made up for in pride and effort!!!.....looking on twitter this evening i sense a few more Grimsby fans may be venturing to the Bradley instead of the park to take a look.....£7 to get in on this Wednesday as we entertain Stamford in another of the Lincolnshire derby games.

If Cleethorpes win promotion again, they'll be one league below the National League North.

They're a seriously well run club with a good manager at the helm. I don't know what their 'peak' level will be, but every day is a new adventure for them so I guess they should just keep on going and not think about it too much!

Whatever they're doing, it's working.

Please, please Cleethorpes, never, ever take any advice from Fenty, Lincoln did once and see how that went. Seriously all the best Cleethorpes, it's nice to see you doing so well and long may it continue.
