Yes I was at RAF Fylingdales when the 3 massive golf balls were there.  Locals complained bitterly in 1963 when the golf balls were built.  Said it spoilt the countryside.  

Ironically, when the golf balls were replaced by some ugly towers, there was strong support to keep the original golf balls.  I had a look inside once and they were massive.

In 1963 the snow was very deep and drifted on the moors, the station was cut-off. My father in law worked for RCA there and lead an escape party down to the North York’s Moor railway line (as it is now) and to Pickering and safety.  You could also hang a hat on the top of a telegraph pole such were the snow drifts.

Someone mentioned getting in (gates opened to let people out) to see the last 30 mins free.  I used to do that when I had no money.  But something happened in 1967 that cured me of that habit.  A midweek game against Swindon got in 20 mins from end.  Town leading 2-1 and then we got a third.  Game over?  Not so fast! Swindon ran out 4-3 winners. Harry Wainman had mare and gifted them a couple.  Don Rogers got one of them.  He was the one player on the pitch without a spot of mud on his shorts.  Pat Terry (just signed from Reading) scored the winner.  He always seemed to score against us. I still can't forget the disappointment of that night even though it was 53 years ago.

It’s the glamour Les. If you’ve ever seen Sutton you’d understand.


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.

Once a mariner always a mariner.




Great post Grimsby Pete

I bet you haven’t seen this many ticks since you and Ipswin ran that Suffolk sheep rustling operation 😬

Made in the 80’s, grew up Durban Road, Wybers and Healing. It kinda got further away from then on in but Grimsby will always be home. Lived in South Africa for nearly 5 yrs, stayed in Saudi Arabia 4 yrs, and most recently stayed in Oman 3.5 yrs. Affectionately nicknamed soutpiel in South Africa, I’ve always loved heading back during the festive season to catch a few Town games with my friends and old man. Unfortunately Covid has put a temporary stop to that.

I always pack a Mighty Mariner in my suitcase and like to leave them on my travels. Some of the furthest I’ve left one is Margaritaville in Cancun, Flames bar in Bredasdorp and Sky bar Kuala Lumpur. If they’re still there I claim them as mascot exiles!
