Clee Town friendly

As an exiled Meggie I think it's great that my home town now has another football club that seem to be doing very well, both on and off the pitch. Were I still living in Cleethorpes there's no doubt I would go and watch on days when they didn't clash with doing so at Town. I used to do similar when Grimsby Borough played at the King George Stadium in the late 1980s. It's called being a football fan, and I much preferred doing that to spending the afternoon at home twiddling my thumbs.

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Afraid my old mate it's quite simple...it's called freedom of choice...

And that’s the way it should be, absolutely. I just think it’s a bit weird. I wouldn’t rule out it being ME who’s the weirdo though, it has been known.

Quoted from Heisenberg

No, I’m aware, there’s no confusion. I just think that someone from the area who chooses to be ‘an Owl’ is for some reason refusing to be a Mariner, and I don’t know why anybody would do that.

To support the development of football in their home town? To support grassroots football growing into the game and advancing up the leagues? To support the young local players who end up playing for teams like this after bigger local teams throw them out on their bottom? Because maybe football at that level feels more real than league football and all its advertising,sponsorship and money grabbing by player egos.

There are lots of reasons, but either way there should be multiple football teams in the area to support and everyone has the choice to decide who they support. You don't have to support the "big" club in the area just because it's the biggest. You can be proud of being from Cleethorpes and not Grimsby by supporting your local football team.

May have the fact Dave is a cockney that moved up north and has been involved with Clee Town from the early days , he is actually a Portsmouth fan

Our grade of football is most definitely non league, but it's a damn good standard. We reacced the 5th round of the Scottish Cup this year, beating Ayr United en route, who were top of the Championship at the time. We got gubbed 4-0 at Hearts, but that's the second time we've played there at this stage of the tournament in the last eight years. I can not remember having had that luxury following Town in the 25 years I was a regular at BP? It's football as it should be, and as I've reached official OAP status this year my season ticket for our 15 home league games for 2019-20 is just £42, less than £3 per game.

Watching Town is now a luxury for me, and one I always look forward to, especially the away games in the north west.

Glad you enjoy the football mate whoever it is 👍

Here's why I'm now every bit as passionate about Auchinleck Talbot as I am the Town.

Have to agree with you. My dad lives in Largs and whenever I go to visit, we always make a point of watching Largs Thistle. Very enjoyable football and always a friendly crowd too.

Two adult tickets for Clee Town friendly going free to a good home. Let me know if interested. Two no shows and I'd prefer someone got to use them.
