We all agree Pete. You wouldn’t get a basic fact like the club’s foundation year wrong. PS I’d have had Dock Tower on the list instead of ‘Great Grimsby Day’ itself.

When the telegraph was printed in Grimsby KM it was a very good quality paper and most households had one delivered ( I was a paper boy ) Now it is printed in Yorkshire, Say no more !!!!!!

I thought it was printed in Leicester now Pete? I'm surprised it's still printed daily if I'm honest. The Scunny telegraph went to weekly some time ago.

Yorkshire Leicester it does not matter Les Its not in Grimsby is my point Its no wonder most people don't buy it now. The Football later named the sports telegraph was very good and I waited for it to pop through the door when I was young and tried to read it before my dad got his hands on it, never got there first though.

There use to be a que in the paper shop at 6 on a Saturday night waiting for the sports Telegraph to be delivered.
Now we get our phones out as we leave the game. A sign of the times.

I used to be a paper boy too Pete. I used to go around Scartho Road hospital (before the new one was built) selling them. Used to absolutely hate Fridays as the papers seemed to weigh a ton with the extra property supplement.

I delivered to one house that had 2 telegraphs delivered Les not a big house either, They must have fought over who read it first and destroyed the paper so had one each.
