Quoted from marinerdazza
The most frequently aired criticism against GTFC is that it is stuck in the past and never has any modern ideas.

If you're criticising this news then really, have a word with yourself FFS.


Don't be so po-faced about things. The Town fans have always been leaders when it comes to radical ideas!

The quote from Bob Lincoln's book about the first Grimsby Ladies side in 1886 -

"This season some individuals had the temerity to run a team of lady footballers, and they applied for a match on the Clee Park, which was refused.
"Nothing daunted, they secured the Victoria Cricket Ground. A fair crowd assembled.
"It was a terrible fiasco, and the fair maidens had a lively time, as they were unmercifully chaffed by the Pontoonites.
"Leaving here they appeared on the Holderness Road Ground. The fixture terminated in a riot."

Presumably the 2019 version will be better received.


“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”
― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

That's a good read. Let's hope so.

TBF a lot of games back then ended in riots. Wasn't there one game between Town and Lincol were the ref didn't turn up so someone from the Grimsby side stood in? At the end of the game, which Town won, the team had to run for their lives after the Lincoln fans accused the 'ref' of cheating chased them all the way to the station

Non football thread!


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Promise a man someone else's fish and he votes Labour.

If I've read the article correctly, the women's team is going to be run by the Grimsby Town Sports and Education Trust which is a registered charity; the team will be affiliated with GTFC but not be directly under its ownership.   I'm sure the club do fund GTSET in some way but I highly doubt that our current chiefs would be sacrificing any extra budget on anything that wasn't completely necessary, especially now we're making a groundbreaking investment in minor stadium improvements.

This can only be a positive (and inexpensive) step forward towards better engagement, especially towards our younger and female fans.

No, it's a football thread - I just wish we could make it a no-cunts thread...

Woman's football is crap.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Which woman are you talking about?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
