I did when I worked at the Telegraph just round the corner. It was there or the Mariners club in Kent St. who did a curry to die for.


My mum and Dad got their wedding do done at the mariners club in ‘81 it was free as my dad was a member 😝 believe it’s in church street though, or was rather.

Yes sorry - I was mulling over whether it was Church Street. I ought to have remembered as I used to live in Church Street in the 50's. Or was it Kent Street...   Its an age thing.

The Kent Arms was the pub in Kent St where you could usually get served as an under 18.😉

My aunt passed away a few years ago but as an employee and customer of The Mariners she had many happy times.

My folks in the 60s and 70s and latterly myself in the very early 80’s always used to go out on Freemo and the surrounding pubs, the Mariners, Smokers, White Bear, Wellington and Cairns’s amongst others being the regular haunts.

Quoted from Civvy at last
Freemo would also be handy for those niggley muscle strains to be treated.
Nicoles ( or whatever it’s called now) could give that vital massage to aid recovery.

Could give a whole new meaning to getting pulled off at half time 😄

Where exactly would it go on freemo? A combination of the Comber Place /3 southern tower block sites? Or the mostly defunct shopping blocks opposite Wilko?

I can't believe that Freeman Street would be chosen, I can only hope that this rumour is as accurate as those rumours predicting all the players we were going to sign, none of whom ever materialised.

Quoted from golfer
It's not just GTFC who have no money to spend but the fans themselves. Half the town is skint so no scheme can rely on the support from this town. If you had fur lined seats you wouldn't get a bigger crowd no matter where the location. A Freeman Street site would cost twice as much with underlying problems than Peaks Parkway. All those who think Freeman Street is viable -get real.



In that case why bother with a football league team at all? Sell BP , invest the money in Grimsby Borough or Cleethorpes Town and wallow in the lower reaches of non-league with affordable gate money. Simples!

Sorry Pete. Misread it first time but then I saw you said ‘snagging’ jobs.

Thought for a minute I wanted a job like you used to have 😉


A bit of snogging went on as well Harry well I was 18

Get it built in Freemo and bry all the spice and bag heads under it. Freemo land is never gonna worth toss all now as its heyday has well and truely gone so the 'Freeman' will either sit on it and make no money out of it or sell up and get some cash back. they wont seeanything otherwise.

The Council ruled Freeman Street out as recently as April. It's not big enough.
