Dear old Harold Street school. Those were the days, or maybe not.
I wonder if any posters attended Harold Street who were my classmates? Born 1954/55?
I left in 58. Good school in it's day. We always had a great football team. Bonfires on the bomb site across the road from the school. Delivered papers for Beilbe's on the corner of Harold/Park St. Good memories for me!

First game maybe 1967, can’t remember too much. Moved up to North Yorkshire to work on ancient monuments ..Scarborough Castle/Whitby Abbey etc in 1987, didn’t see town much once up there. Move to Suffolk in 1989 to work for the MOD on an American air force base and then down to Portsmouth area to train people to look after old buildings, saw Town get thumped at Fratton park on one occasion. Moved to Northamptonshire in 1997, I’ve seen town win, lose and draw at Sixfields, don’t get back to Blundell Park now my parents have gone. I’ve taken my lad, but he’s not got the town bug!

I'm new on here so we'll see how it goes?
I was born in the front room of 146 Rutland St. East Marsh. Went to hilda/weelsby/Harold street schools. Was apprentice fitter at Northern Trawlers during the heyday of the fishing industry. Dad was a fisherman along with his four brothers and other family members. Played local football for Cromwell Rovers. Pontoon end Town fan from 1955/6. Went to sea as engineer for P & O. Met wife at sea (Canadian). Got married at GY registry office.
Lived in Immingham and Goxhill, took a job in the Bahamas, moved to Trinidad, Venezuela and Indonesia, had a flat in Hope St. Cleethorpes which I regret selling! Moved around the states and finished up in St. Louis. Retired to the Tucson area in Arizona 14 years ago (same wife). Met two town fans living in my local area while following the Telegraph’s blog, which used to be interactive. We had a lot of good get togethers through following Town. Sadly, one died, and the other (Ed from Arizona) returned to Cleethorpes, but we keep in touch and discuss town’s performances. One constant over all my travels has been the Mariners even though I have not attended a game for many years. I wear my Town Covid face mask with great pride when I play golf. UTMM!!

What was interesting in Louth is that you never saw any Lincoln fans. Logically you'd think it would be maybe a 50/50 splitdue to Louth's location - but no.... everyone i knew supported Town.
I went to school in Brigg, a lot of Man U/Liverpool fans at the time but for local teams Town definitely outnumbered Scunny.

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.
We are always coming back Les!!! We are always drawn back it’s just our life has taken us all to a new place we call our home - but we all know where our real home is
