We always hear how difficult it is to attract players here due to location so how many players in our current squad actually live here ?

Is there a case for us having our training ground in the Sheffield area so many don't have to relocate or have a long commute every day to Cheapside.

They just commute here on match days.........radical idea I know but it could attract better players

It would take part of the community aspect of the club away but there is a certain logic to it

Don't offer the buggers a contract if they insist on living away - perhaps if they moved to the area they might have more connection with and/ pride in the club and town.

Was it Buckley that insisted players moved to the area? I suppose easier if longer contracts were given out though.

Loads of people commute from Grimsby to Hull, Doncaster, Lincoln and Sheffield everyday and manage just fine. Players don't work the hours most people do and with an early start and early finish there is plenty of time to recover or do what they want with most of the afternoon free.


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.

Yep. My other half commuted from Mablethorpe to GY and back, Monday to Friday for over three years. Did an 8 hour working day as well. Bloody terrible drive in the winter.

Up the motorway from Donny or Sheffield for three hours training is a doddle compared to that.
