Getting back to the quality of the Telegraph, yesterday they reported that Jimmy Jackson (Winter Gardens) had died, full page article.

The Telegraph today have issued an apology, apparently he's still alive.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

That’s gotta be the worst thing a paper can do . Can’t see the apology on line but the story has certainly gone

Quoted from Hagrid
They’ve been OTT on the town news recently, to the point of ramming it in your face on social media, tonights “ debate” on Lennie was not needed, and extremely naive


To be fair the people around us at Bromsgrove were largely of the same opinion as the one the new Telegraph bloke articulated in his column- LJL is no longer good enough.

People need to remember that the Telegraph are an independent publication and aren’t there to act as propaganda for the club.

Do I enjoy every article? No. But i didn’t under all his predecessors either. There’s only so much news he can report and the rest is padding.

And personally I think LJL is number 3 choice at present. I think McAtee would be ahead of him as striker (with Sousa, Bapaga & Clifton behind) if Taylor was unavailable.

I think he’s a good impact sub for us at present but if Hurst finds his number 9 we might not see much of LJL in match days squads going forward.

If you're right (and I suspect you are) then we need to show some respect to him - he's worked hard for this club and came back when we were in the sh*t to try and get us out of it. He seems like a good bloke and deserves better than us turning on him.

Weird because I go to most games and never hear Lenny getting any excrement.

Not good enough? At what? Nobody thinks he is peak Michael Owen apart from the new Telegraph guy. He’s meant to be strong and bring others in to play and he does both well. He’s a good squad player. In fact he’s an excellent squad player because he performs his role when he gets opportunity and when he doesn’t he just seems to get on with it.

I think this post sums the GT/GL in this day and age. Quality left the sports pages when Geoff Ford retired. Likewise, the quality of content left when they shut the editorial office in Grimsby and gave it to Hull. Web pages load up with ads before the news and all the Reach group seems to want is profit, regardless of quality. The number of non-local articles just keeps increasing along with headlines for them suggesting they are local.

The GT/GL have now any little integrity they had left with the above story, which brings us back to the new/our  Yorkshire Live reporter. How much truth will be in his articles, or will it be manufactured to fill a page!

The GT is dead, thankfully the GTFC is alive and thriving.

Bring back the Cleethorpes Chronicle. Can you hear me Nigel?










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

I dont know the knew reporter, but looks like his over excited social media posts dont seem to have many comments or any on some since Lloyd had a word  lol.  Funnily enough in the GET articles it says Grimsby Town report, and not Reporter for Grimsby live

They also delete any comment that it is critical of the appalling standard of journalism.It is like watching the terminal decline of a dearly beloved friend.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.
