At our level I reckon the socioeconomic and geography factors impact on our ability to recruit.

E.G. There are more players based around London and the South as the population is denser the better ones don’t have to travel as far to earn good money the ones with less ability have to look further afield.

I would imagine Luton where able to recruit Berry and Collins from Cambridge & Crawley without either having to move house. Add to that their ability to pay better wages from good gates and there you go.

Also with the younger lads are you going to move away from your home family & friends to move to Grimsby? Some will some don’t.


Hate this argument. There are also more teams in the London area and it is massively more expensive to live there.
Grimsby, Cleethorpes and the surrounding area has population to produce professional footballers. We are well within the range of players from Leeds, hull and Sheffield. How do Scunny attract players?

Because they’re half an hour closer to the cities in Yorkshire, Manchester and the northern East Midlands? Places that young men would rather live and go out to socialise. Why would a single bloke in his twenties move to GY for a two year contract?

Because of the benign loan and the club had made money.

To be fair, the club owe him £2m plus. He’s just taken some back, and some time ago. Anything that makes us less reliant on him is a good thing. I’ve no issues with selling Dembele for £1m and him taking the lot.

We have some beautiful areas around Grimsby. The wolds on our doorstep, Cleethorpes is a great place and up and coming. A great beach, next to the sea. Nice areas like Waltham, Laceby, New and Old Waltham, Humberston etc. Many ex players who aren’t from the area have settled here.

There is something in what you say but players move to where theyll feel most comfortable.
I doubt a player from Leeds is going to be desperate to move to Cambridge/Exeter or the like because they're a city. I'd expect them to prefer a move here. I'd say it's more to do with the deal that's on the table and word of mouth. If the manager is a sharp object or they don't like a coach or their best mates mate has put a word in for the other club, they'll more than likely move to another club. Swings in roundabouts. I'd say money is the main reason, obviously


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Because they want to play in the football league. What the young men in the Grimsby and Cleethorpes area? Do they not play football?

There is no way this area can't produce footballers or attract the required talent. It's just an excuse for being shite!

So do I to be honest but it's feeling like it's becoming a fact.

Yes it's more expensive to live in London but salaries reflect that even in football, To work in London you don't have to live there from where I live it's 25 mins to Kings Cross on the train.

Yes we can produce talent but we can't recruit a manager to be big enough to trust in it,

We are well within reach of Leeds, Hull and Sheffield but so are numerous other places some more appealing some just as run down.

How do Scunny attract players? A charismatic manager, League 1 football and possibly a chance of promotion, better salaries I assume and it's 20 odd miles closer to some of the places you describe than Grimsby is.
