Is their ground located in a forest then?


Probably from when they used to play their first games at the Forest Recreational Ground back in the day,the area is still known as that and hold the Goose Fair there every year

I know it's changed now but  this question about us being the only team that plays every game away is rubbish as Nottm Forest don't play in Nottingham!

The correct term is 'Great Grimsby'. Who needs city status?

We were also one of the first towns to be granted a royal charter.

My feelings towards the royal family are somewhat apathetic, but the designation of Doncaster as a city nudges me gently towards the republican door.
She can't have been can she??

I don't think we are in any danger of becoming a city just yet

Whilst we are on the subject of cities, could someone please explain how Hull City get their name?
The city is Kingston Upon Hull, Hull being the river upon which Kingston sits.
I've often wondered why the football team is so called.

The locals can't even pronounce the four letter word ('ull), they'd struggle big time with Kingston (which I personally think sounds much nicer)

Real funny place, Hull. You’ve got the bizarre and grating accent, obviously, but I found myself in the city centre on business not long before the pandemic.

I had an hour to kill before my train so nipped into the ‘spoons across the road, the Admiral of the Humber, for a swift pint. It was about half past two on a Tuesday afternoon and so I expected it to be dead; how wrong was I? It was absolutely mobbed; quite literally standing room only in this massive pub, fighting to get to the bar like a payday weekend Saturday night. I think the average number of teeth per person was about 5. Likewise the number of face tattoos.

Don’t get me wrong, NE Lincs is not without its problems, but Christ almighty, Hull has some serious socioeconomic issues.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.
