I recall seeing several tweets towards the end of last season from Town players mentioning car pools and car sharing. Does anyone know the areas of the country that our players live?

It was near the hairdressers where Arnold cut my son's hair! "The socialism I believe in is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards.

It probably makes little difference…unless you’re Martyn Butler… 'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

If you were living in Doncaster or Sheffield or Nottingham or Leeds and was joining GTFC on a 1 or 2 year contract would you relocate yourself and your family for such a short contract? I don’t think I would.

Anyone remember 999 programme? That theme used to actually terrify me for some reason!!

A year or 2 year contract could warrant a local quality rental property, even if they have their own place back home, which again could be on rental terms to.pay a mortgage ! Two of our family are forces based, but both have rental properties locally, which pay the mortgage for them, so they have somewhere to live if the worst happened and they needed to leave forces accommodation.

If they have a young family, I wouldn't want to be their child moving school every year or 2. Lots of people in Grimsby travel to Scunthorpe, Hull, Sheffield or Leeds for work every day, it's the way of the world and football is no different. If they turn up on time, work hard and try their best, I don't care where they live. Didn't Jolley have this wonderful idea of insisting players moved to the area which he soon dropped when he realised people didn't want to?
