Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY


It’s not the nicest of places. Though, saying that it’s the same as anywhere in the commuter belt where city folk have moved into the soybeans and made sure that normal folk are priced out.

Did all the training and opening for the Nando’s there though can’t remember what the town centre pubs were like for some reason. In fact, it was the first time I’d ever tried ‘halal’ meat.

Just incase you are wondering though, wernham Hogg don’t have a premises there since moving over to America


It's not the worst place in the world, it's just incredibly dull. It's one of too many non-descript towns within the western part of London's commuter belt in which I've spent ay too much time, and by that I mean any time at all. Slough, Basingstoke, Swindon, Woking, Staines, Didcot, High Wycombe - probably extending as far as Milton Keynes and Northampton. All places home to grey skies, grey buildings, grey businesses and grey people.

You don't have to try too hard to find issues with the geography or socioeconomics of Grimsby / Cleethorpes, but it does have a meaningful history, an identity, and soul. Something the above places don't. The north / south divide exists, but you have to be careful what you wish for.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Just seen, so answering my own question, selected for Overseas Broadcast and Extended Highlights.

Never fails to amaze me that anyone in Cambodia or Belize would want to watch it.

Guessing due to last year's cup exploits.

Anyway there must be a fee in it for us!? - this year's cup money!

Brother you have brought back some good memories
of times gone by =  Belize  Central America 2 x 6 month
Tours . Major Football / Rugby matches were seen
watched on VHS cassette sent by family and friends  No Sky/ WiFi etc what we take for granted today
Only "Bluey's" = Air mail letters , the Grimsby football paper came to me a week later in a toilet paper tube
So all the best to any one taking an interest / Supporting
Grimsby Town from afar.
