pleasant surprise to read such a positive write up, instead of the usual stereotypical drivel

I notice the only negativity on the thread is from the Usual Suspects!

Hey, I don’t like Mablethorpe either in terms of the town  and facilities. But the beaches are amazing.

Huttoft Bank is an amazing stretch of beach .


Sure is. We sometimes venture over that way with the pooch. The Seascape cafe and observatory at Chapel St Leonards is a great place to visit too, as is Anderby Creek where there is another nice eatery. Lot's of seaside sculptures and a look out tower have been placed along the coastal path. We have some great beaches along our coast.

The England coastal path is now open from Skegness to Mablethorpe and eventually will be extended to the Humber Bridge, passing through Meggies of course. The new cycleway from GY to Immingham will be part of it when all linked up.

Interesting. Am up for a long weekend. Might have a trip down there.


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.

Quoted from Stockport Mariner


If comments had been allowed on that piece in the Guardian it would be guaranteed to include such pearls as "Its Grim in Grimsby"  "I went to Grimsby once, it was a dump" "Stinks of fish" etc etc.

This is a great shame, because as the article points out it is a lovely part of the world, and we are lucky in so many ways. I always defend the Grimsby area in online message boards, but the old stereotypes are very hard to shift. Sad to say even on this site people have argued we are the last place players and/or managers would choose which clearly is not the case, obviously assuming the club is being well run, which is now being addressed.

I do hope this article is the start of better press for Grimsby. It would help if when we are on TV it would stop showing the a**e end of Freeman Street which is the archetypal secondary run-down shopping area seen in so many towns throughout the country.

The people who slate Gy/Clee are often clueless a lot of former players stayed in the Town and made lives here . It’s not perfect by any means but it’s got some real plus points . I do miss those Lincoln @ home comments it was comedy gold every season with the excuses not to venture to Blundell Park.

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.

Born and grew up in Cleethorpes. Been living in West Yorkshire for the past 17 years.

Love coming back to see the folks, watch the football and enjoy the fish and chips (and the sea front). I took living on the coast for granted. Really miss it now, more than ever.

That was a great positive and uplifting piece. It makes you wonder how nicer the world would be if we were all as positive about other people and places as that article was about us.
