I attended in 1974 and shut the school down after torching the cloakroom due to having a mild addiction with fire...set my coat alight on the way to school, thought I'd put it out, obviously not as 9.00 am the school was evacuated and several costs were ruined!... fortunately no one got injured and I got rehabilitated.. whoops..
I just missed you then but am so pleased you kept up the tradition of the myriad number of pupils who tried to destroy the place. It wasn't really an education as such, more a groundwork for putting snowflakes in their place.

I've really enjoyed reading this thread, please keep it going. As for me, I was brought in Springbank, went to Yarborough school then Hereford, now live on the Church Meadows Estate, never moved more than a mile away, so no travelling story. Although I've got a fish round in Leeds and have 2/3 customers who are keen Town fans, it would seem we get everywhere.
I grew up on Springway Crescent. Dean Crombie lived on Springbank at one stage, didn't he?

He certainly did I lived on Lombard Street until I left Town at the end of '79 .... I don't think he was living there then so maybe moved there in and and around that famous 79-80 season?

I moved to London in 77, but my mum still lives in the house I grew up in.

He did, he lived down the bottom near to the field that's near the leisure centre.

Talking about Louth we had some good night's out at Louth in the 60's too many pubs to visit in one night. I remember Dave Boylen saying when we played in London the team went by train and a few of them always got off at Louth to catch last orders. I should add on the way home ( Mike Newell was not the manager )

I can't recall who they were playing but I recall a report. I think in a 'Topical Times Football Annual' w of a Charlton game that ended 5-5 or even 6-5 in the late 50s early 60s in front of a relatively small crowd and as a comparison it included a photo of that terrace absolutely full just after the war, a breathtaking sight

I believe that there were 50 pubs in Louth. Said to have been the most pubs per capita of any place in England. Talking of a lot of exiles being born in Louth, so was I (Louth hospital). Although brought up in Mablethorpe. The Supporters Club ran a bus to all home games. I do not remember any footy fan in Mablethorpe supporting any other team but Town. Reading these posts shows the wide variety of interesting and distant countries that have a Town outpost. Quite a few in South America. Being an exile has other unforeseen drawbacks. I was in the RAF at Hereford for all of 1972. I missed most of the games in winning the championship. The same applied in 1979-80 as I was in Germany. 2 great seasons missed!

Another thing noticable from the majority of these posts is that when people leave the Grimsby area, they very rarely come back. I suppose I was a bit different as I left when I was 6 months old and came back when I was 3 and a half. I have 4 close personal friends who for one reason or another left the area (all over 10-15 years ago now) and none have come back.
