I was born and lived in Grimsby until I was 15 and then moved to Lincoln. As I have family and of course home matches to go to, I'm along the A46 quite a lot. What really saddens me about this article and the need for both "newspapers" to be trading insults, is that it is the entire area that gets dragged down. Let's face it, Lincolnshire generally is known as a fairly rough, agricultural/traditional industry area, whereby the old stereotypes still exist for outsiders. The last thing we need is for the media to hype up this terrible, dramatised edited nonsense, that I have now doubt could be filmed practically anywhere in the UK.
Pretty much, I suppose it's a form of click-bait for a website that needs more hits, and those local newspaper sites are pretty desperate places. To wrap the whole sad aspect of this countries social failings in an attempt to boost the football team is mind boggling to me. Still trying to understand how a win months ago takes top bragging-rights over our 13 point lead over Lincoln, 2nd in the table position, ( it's not like their manager is even around to join in the bragging rights) never mind how it all relates to dumbed down tv like Skint. Let's see how things are at the seasons end, could be some very tasty stuff on the Echo; ( remembering their "Welcome GTFC back to the home of Lincolnshire football again next season" mocking Tweet when we lost in the play-offs)

Indeed and they also conveniently seem to have forgotten the more recent Lincs Cup Final.

Sadly there's going to be more of this kind of drivel next week once Skint broadcasts. The media at its absolute worst. Why go after the strong and the powerful who dodge billions of pounds of taxes when you can get a few cheap laughs and drum up a bit of faux outrage over some of the poorer and more vulnerable people in the country?

And how about the potential Westminster-Paedophile ring ? Quite possibly the most explosive story in recent times. None of the 3 main parties are in any hurry to move it on as they all have current dirty linen in this area that they are desperate to keep under wraps. So much corruption and misuse of power going around.... But yeah, let's laugh at some skivers

Agree completely. Absolute sitting ducks for them. Showing poorly educated, poverty stricken people with all kinds of problems, living on the margins of society and badging it as entertainment is grotesque stuff. As for the idea that Channel 4 are prioritising poverty as a current affairs issue - it's laughable because we all know it's about ratings and nothing else.

Or people who are too desperate or ill-educated to realise how they'll be portrayed.

Apologies mate, after reading what i put, think ive gone very much OTT, although i will say i think its appalling journalism, sorry if ive offended you and i withdraw my remarks
No problem and as you can see from this thread there quite a few of us town fans over here. Think we will have to form our own supporters club!
