It looks fun on that Peter Kay programme.

He could be a player/driver, well you already get player/coaches!

It's been suggested before but why do we have to train in Grimsby? If most of our team and management live in Yorkshire could we not train there at least some of the time? We live in an era of one year contracts. Players don't want to isolate themselves geographically. If the mountain won't come to Muhammad then Muhammad must go to the mountain

I don't like that idea at all. It takes the club out of the town to a certain extent.

Smacks of franchising to me!

Plus the cost of hiring places to train or risk getting chased out of local parks when we have Cheapside?

No merit to it in my mind

When not selected maybe he would focus on being the "coach/driver" well we do know that he is versatile..............

Might as well call ourselves The Travelling Wilburys - there are a multitude of places to rent in a multitude of locations. I'm a big Carl Magnay fan but if doesn't like it then don't sign.

Grimsby Town is called that for a reason,

Players should train , play and live here imo,

I agree the 1 year contracts makes it unrealistic,

BUT

The players we know who will perform all the time LIke Magnay,Toto, Pearson and a few others deserve a 2 year contract at least,

As a kid I used to watch the team train and then walk a bit of the way home with one or two,

That really creates a bond for a young kid and his club,

That lasts for life,

Seeing your team play once a fortnight is not the same,

Most players are happy to chat and spend a bit of time with their fans,

They can not do that if they do not live in the area.

Its about time Hurst sets an example and bring his family to the wonderful resort of Cleethorpes.

Very few people will uproot their family to a Town miles away for a one-year contract.  

It may get renewed, it may not.  In the case of Hurst he's only ever a bad run of results away from losing his job altogether, granted he'll get compensation.  

Totally unrealistic to expect anyone to move here.  We're geographically isolated and it's a major battle to overcome when we try to sign players.  Previously we've been able to offset that with the lower cost of living, but in the age of short term contracts we've almost lost that advantage as no-one will buy a house based on a one-year contract.

Car pools are travelling in are necessary parts of the modern game, even at much higher levels than ours.

Magnay made a fair point regards the car pool, the time and cost of driving in.  At this level these are the little details that can sway a decision.
