It's just another dig at a northern town, happened before and will happen again. "Just look at how them peasants live" comes to mind.
Don't forget guys, if your from England but don't live in London - no-one really cares. Yes, I'm bitter haha.


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx

I am really looking forward to it.

Will be interesting to see if he perfects the Grimsby accent. Wonder if he has consulted Cod Almighty's dictionary:

Really ,Just45%  are "decent" ? so the majority arn't then .


Do you believe that the majority conform with generally accepted standards of respectability and moral behaviour.  We are not talking about what has become common place acceptability of standards of respect and moral behaviour.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Actually, Kazakhstan invested millions in its infrastructure, advertising and brand management to rectify/capitalise (take your pick) on the image presented by Sacha bc. Whether this forced investment will pay off, time will tell, currently I believe it's a net loss  - but you can bet that Sacha bc's goal was not to help to regenerate that country - nor our town.

Yes, Grimsby does have countless challenges to face, but I'm not comfortable with this comedian bringing them to the world's attention - there really IS such a thing as BAD publicity.

However - since film is going ahead, our best response is to greet it with good humour, and to present positive aspects of the place. Even though sbc IS a cheeky f+++ing urine-taker.


really do hope the marketing dept is aware of the film coz i think there will definitely be a upsurge of interet in the club from home and abroad and i'd love to think they'll have a strategy in place to deal with it and exploit it

Do we have any similarities with Kazakhstan?

I seem to recall they have a swimming pool with a filtration system that can remove 90% of human solid waste. Cleethorpes has a pool with a scratchy floor.

They have the annual Running of the Jew and we have the annual Running of the Yorkie.

Any more?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

There are certainly no similarities between the Kazakh president and anyone in charge of gtfc. The Kazakh president is a dictator who brooks no criticism and closes down any opposing views in the media, . Furthermore he wants to name his capital city, his personal building project, after himself. It would be the equivalent of our beloved benefactor calling our wonderful new stadium the 'fenty dome'. All this just shows the huge differences between these two much loved leaders despite both of them being elected by almost unfeasably huge numbers of their grateful followers

Well i seem to remember Kazakhstan threatening Cohen with legal action and i think
it would be fair to say it had more of a negative impact on the image of that country
than a positive one, the damage that can be done is to the image of the Town, we  have been tarred with a bad image (unfairly IMO) for decades and this will just make it worse.
It's OK for  you basing yourself in Farsley, we who actually live in this Town will be the
butt of the inevitable jokes - i am a  Grimbarian, born and bred and proud of it - sick
of the jokes about my birthplace, if i am  being over sensitive then so be it, i d'ont expect everyone to agree, but its how i feel and just my opinion.



I'm just surprised that people think this film will do anything to Grimsby's reputation other than confirm the views that people who already slag it off have. It's not as though this is a town that generates favourable opinion anyway and Cohen is somehow trying to change peoples views. Christ on a bike the name itself has been a source of amusement to some for years. I and I suspect thousands of others will not have our opinions of the town swayed by it and will see it for what it is the selection of an easy target to make a film maker some money to pay his bills...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.
