The author played for both Grimsby Pelham in 1878 and Grimsby Town in 1879 and he doesn’t regard one as a continuation of the other.


We haven't finished debating whether or not our founding year should be on our badge and you now tell us there is a separate debate to be had about our founding year!

And he is/was wrong. Grimsby Pelham was not dissolved and a new club founded, it changed it's name. As did Small Heath, Newton Heath, Thames Iron Works, West Bromwich Strollers, Singers FC and many more.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

Just coincidence that I read the book last night I hadn’t even noticed the title year until I read the first part of the book . In short a club then was not a club as we know it no infrastructure no league played in just 11 blokes getting together to play friendlies and enter the Lincolnshire Cup. Several teams in Grimsby did this at this time and it is unclear which came first various names are mentioned. Teams rarely lasted more then a year and new ones were formed. He played for Grimsby Pelham in 1878 and Grimsby Town in 1879 as did some others. Presumambly his views have some merit as he was there.
It’s a good read for those interested in Heritage. for the fist ten years our main target was the Lincolnshire Cup where we made varying progress before Iinevitably being beaten by the might Spilsby who were the best team in Lincolnshire throughout the 1880s.

At the risk of sounding thick and stupid, can someone please explain to me what digitising out badge means please. Because from what I can see, the existing badge is already being used widely in all sorts of forms of digital media. Including on websites, social network, physical printed hard copy and on TV and in videos???

So what more can we do with any of the designs when digitised, that we cannot do in its current format ?

its more to do with the size the image was done in, and so when adding an the image to a website, document etc the image becomes stretched/distorted due to the pixels. I think I know in my job (software ERP specialist) we use images and some have to be redone for digitial.

Having said that im not a designer and have only done basic stuff.  But it would be something to do with that.

Don’t like Rich Lyons’ statement and think the comms and pr from the club has been handled really poorly.

I do think the trust reps on the board are getting away with this a bit too easily, whilst the criticism has been levelled at the designer and owners. Where were they in all of this? Surely they must have been pushing for fan consultation for such a change? Don’t we have an SLO that is supposed to be the bridge between the supporters and the board?

It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to anticipate that changing anything to do with the fabric and identity of the club could potentially bring controversy and backlash. It’s not like there isn’t precedent for these issues in the world of football.
