Flitwick Mariner?

Whilst living and working in Luton in the early 80’s I was seeing a bird from Flitwick.
Her family and friends all knew I was Town mad.
Please tell me this jogger wasn’t mid 30’s. 😓 😓

he was!!!!

Used to drive there and park up when visiting London, as there used to be a large car park. But when they closed it, it only left the Tesco Car Park and you would get booked there. So stopped going there.

Suprised to see the town I have lived in since 1989 mentioned on the forum. No it wasn't me jogging too old for that now and besides I can't run.

I arrived in Flitwick (the "w" is pronounced silently) to run the newsagents opposite the railway station which I left in 1996 when the company I worked for was taken over. Remained here as our children and grandchildren are settled in Northampton, so returning to Grimsby would put us further away then we are now. I remember when been asked to move to Flitwick my question was the same as many on here have said, where? and the response I got was in Bedfordshire between Bedford and Luton which are about 12 miles to the north and south, MK is about 15 miles to the west across the M1.

Both myself and wife were born in Grimsby and still refer to it as home, I lived on Springfield Road and my wife lived on Newsham Drive and we married in 1980 at Great Coates church and a couple of months later we moved to start our Newsagent career. We still manage visits now and again to family and friends but not since the pandemic hit which has stopped us attending a couple of funerals there. I attended Hereford starting the day it opened and appeared on the photo in the GET that day, my wife attended Western girls school.

I have upto retiring worked with alot of Luton supporters and always had plenty of banter with them over the years and still do although we have not kicked on like they have. I have known Brian Stein since arriving here and still see him from time to time mainly in the local Tesco, shortly after leaving GTFC he used to still wear his Grimsby fleece whilst walking his dog. Flitwick is a quiet place growing from a village to a small town until the yobs from Luton arrive on the train and cause havoc. I noticed that somebody mentioned the vacanation hub which is at the Rufus centre but it only opened thursday 21st January, so we are well behind other places and I am still waiting for my letter from the GP.

Everybody stay safe and UTM

2nd son of Civvy?

If we do build the new training ground away from Grimsby, it looks like Flitwick could be in the running as a potential site. A hotbed of Mariner passion, quite literally in Civvy’s case

I run around Leicester in my various Town tops. Also played golf at Ullesthorpe, near Lutterworth and a lad on the next hole had a town hat on. Always makes my day to see fellow fans in random places. UTM

I'm seen around Tesco in Melton Mowbray and with the poshies in Waitrose in Stamford (doing my Mum's shopping) in a Town bobble hat (not the Boris one) and facemask. Waiting for the next contact. There are a fair number of Mariners around Leics  / Notts / Rutland / South Lincs. For the Wembley finals, there are always a few that get on the train at Peterborough. For the first one in 1998, Peterborough station was packed with us...

he was!!!!

Only met Civvy the once but from recollection the jogger would need to be under 5 ft 4 inches, have Tourette’s, and be abusive to match officials nd then there is a chance of being his son 😀😀😀😀
