its a flipping bobble hat so what
anyway, give everything to labour, id rather have a flipping crayon as our Local MP than Lia Nici
No need to resort to swear words in your response but I suppose you don't mind seeing Boris going for a run in his bobble hat? After all it's only a bobble hat... Like I said in my post; great that the club was represented at this meeting but we really don't need to see major politicians wearing GTFC bobble hats. Just because he's Labour leader and that's who you will vote for next time doesn't make it ok.

Fear not. Sir Keir wouldn't be seen dead in a Grimsby Town bobble hat. He'd be teased mercilessly by his north London liberal elite friends if he did. Oh, and because he supports Arsenal.

The attention seekers really don't help my opinion throwing names like Prince Andrew and Ian Huntley around as the next recipients of gifts. Like I said, attending the meeting is 100% the right thing to do and has my full support. If Vickers wants to go for a stroll down the seafront or into Westminster wearing a GTFC bobble hat and supping out of a GTFC flask I don't have a problem with it (providing he's paid for them); the guy lives locally and turns up to watch our games but I just don't like seeing merchandise dished out to high profile politicians with no affiliation to the town. Going off topic here but it will be interesting to see how Labour go about fighting for the Great Grimsby seat. Will Melanie Onn get another chance? I'm a strong believer that an MP should live in or very close to the area they represent so hope it's a strong local candidate and Melanie Onn would get my full support. I think the performance of her replacement highlights what a good job she did in the circumstances.

If Labour dont target this seat they need there heads testing, Nici is- from social media- extremely unpopular and if Labour can put forward a strong candidate for Grimsby, they will certainly have my vote

Social media is not representative. She was voted in with a huge swing and large majority because the Grimsby public wanted a Conservative government to ensure the referendum result was respected. The next General election will be fought on other issues so we will just have to see the result of that.

Back to footy please chaps.
|
| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

Trust me, you'll have a much better time on twitter if you just block him instead of reading any of the drivel he serves up.

We can't keep football out of politics unfortunately. The two are linked in so many ways.
JS and AP (and DC) want to make this town great again, and they see GTFC as a brilliant vehicle to help them do this. There aren't many community assets that bring people of different backgrounds (and political persuasions) together like a local football club.
Footballers going into the community, being seen, being humble, being accessible, being part of the fabric of the town, gives younger people (with free tickets to the odd game) the chance to raise their aspirations, aim higher, etc.
We (collective term) want everyone in Grimsby, Cleethorpes and the surrounding towns and villages, the chance to do the jobs they want to do, and live in the homes they want to live. It's about giving people chances, and that starts by giving them hope.
So the work the club does in the community - whether that's visiting a fish factory, visiting schools or (god forbid) listening to politicians who want to help raise the aspirations of young people in the town - is vitally important, and the club should be part of those conversations.
Had Lia Nici set up that 'levelling up' meeting to discuss exactly the same thing, I'm sure DC would've attended. The fact that Nici hasn't done anything of the sort is a reflection of her, and her party, and not the club's fault.
I know we haven't won in a while but honestly we really should know better than to knock those who are genuinely trying their best on behalf of everyone.
