I’d guess that the graduates moaning there’s no jobs around here for them have studied something like camel dentistry or Swahili literature so it goes without saying there isn’t going to be much round here.

Quoted from BenBB
As a 20 something myself recently moved away from Grimsby to Scotland and could never see myself moving back.

Cleethorpes is pretty nice and seems to be getting some decent investment with bars opening and chains like Taco Bell moving in but town's dying.

There's literally no job opportunities for graduates unless you want to work in retail or factory work.

Not much night-life. No music scene, only ever get tribute bands or forgotten one-hit wonders. Strange as back in the day I hear The Winter Gardens always had big acts playing. In Glasgow you get all the big bands and there's tons of venues.

If you want to visit a shopping centre that isn't just full of pound shops you have to travel afar, and Grimsby's in the middle of nowhere. Lincoln's closest but the trains are a rip, are old and take ages.

Only good thing is the fish and chips but I can get fish and chips up here that rival the best in GY/Cleethorpes.

The only friends I know staying in Grimsby had babies and are working in fish factories or skipped University and are now still at home living with their parents working on minimum wage in Tesco.

Quoted from Kris2


And the nice areas are full of old people waiting for death. There is absolutely nothing in Grimsby or Cleethorpes for a young 20 something. Most people who move to the area as part of GTFC don't live in Grimsby or Cleethorpes if they stay long term, they'll move to some of the outer villages so they don't have to deal with the dross.


You may find that players who sign for Leeds do not generally live in Armley or  Bramley and those signing for a Manchester club tend to live in Cheshire, or even a hotel. By the way, I didn’t think there was much for me in GY after uni in the 60s. But I stayed and discovered life is what you make it, dross or no dross, and you wait for buses because they are late, death is always too early.

Any chance of a new routine Scunt. This one is boring now.
And your Town is far far worse than ours.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I moved to Lincoln 15 yrs ago.  I met the mrs and finally settled down with the perfect woman.  I love where i come from and i get very defensive when someone disses my town.  I frequently visit the parents for my sunday dinner but when i left i left everything behind....friends....work mates......night life.....family.  it was a huge decision for me but i had to leave not because of the state of the town but for happiness.

Would i come back.......absolutely i would have no problem coming back.  

The only problem i can see from what others are saying there is certain areas of bad housing i.e. drugs etc no investment in the town....even pleasure island is now shut.  

The only people i blame is the lazy sods that are meant to be custodians of the town.

Am i Town or City

Absolutely Town we all are arent we ⚫⚪⚫⚪👍

I was born in Lincoln and lived in that area until a teenager, moved to Boston and loved it for most of the 45 yrs I lived there but I could never imagine a town decline so fast as Boston did.  I then moved to Peterborough for 7 yrs before moving on to Grimsby 10 yrs ago, my own choice completely and never regretted a minute of my time here.  In Peterborough I was going through a split from a partner of 30 yrs and spent a fair bit of time up here with friends and family and loved the people I met and made many friends, I've never been anywhere so friendly and welcoming. This was the main factor in me moving to Grimsby. When I hear people calling the town, I say to them, try living in Boston and Peterborough, both are far worse than this area. Soon after moving to Grimsby I met a wonderful lady from Nottingham, we spent half our time here and other half in Nottingham, After 4 yrs together we decided to get married and choice of living in Grimsby or Nottingham, we chose Grimsby, yes Nottingham is a great City but it also has some undesirable areas, as do all Towns/cities. We are very happy here and if I ask her if she ever misses Nottingham ,she say no not at all,she has also made many friends here.
All we need now is for Mr.Jolley to give us a great football team once again. UTM.

I have a slight regret that I didn't live in a major city when I was young and had a bit of cash in my pocket. Instead, returned straight from University to live and work in N.E. Lincs and have been here ever since.

I was perhaps a bit lucky because Cleethorpes was a great night out back in the 1990s and I visited friends in cities once or more a month so had the best of both worlds. These days, I don't get out much but it seems to me that the nightlife is much inferior (could just be showing my age!). Biggest change is that there are just so many flipping tacky bars all over the place these days. Probably twice as many places to drink on a Saturday night as when I was in my 20s but fewer of them worth visiting and most are half-empty because there aren't many more people around.

On the other hand, with a young family, I appreciate a lot more what the area has to offer because you can have a lovely stroll down the seafront when the weather is good enough for it and there is still some character around with the Fitties and the like.

It might not be the most exciting of places to live, but there are many worse options around. That said, I can see why young footballers might not exactly be drawn to the place as they are invariably going to be wanting to live in cities with more variety to nightlife and entertainment available.

Trying to compare Grimsby & Cleethorpes with Glasgow, not sure what you graduated in but it certainly wasn't commonsense.

I moved away purely to get another job and am looking to move back when I retire, the area may not be the best but compared to the town I live in now it has got much more going for it.

I moved away in my early twenties and moved back in mid thirties with a wife and kid.

Cleethorpes is a fantastic place to raise a family but I can understand why a footloose and fancy free, single chap on a decent wage might like to live elsewhere.
