I don't know what part of the country you live Headingly but please show some respect for the people who live in this area of Lincolnshire,Why would you call it a shitehole ?. I don't go around calling other towns shiteholes.


Apologies for any offence caused, I simply don't understand how we can't attract quality players because of our location and Scunny manage it.

I've always thought the location argument was a bit of a red herring

Grimsby is in a no worse location than say Carlisle, Morecambe, Hartlepool to name a few and whilst they might have troubles of their own attracting players and then persuading them to sign on the dotted line, they're arguably better at it than we are

We're out on a limb in some respects here on the East Coast but it's not totally the back of beyond....within 75 miles or so there's a substantial catchment area for us to try and tap in to

In some ways it says more about the ambition of a certain kind of player if they aren't interested in playing for our club with its heritage and potential

It's not stopped lads like Shaun Pearson coming here and developing his game and his future prospects so there must be others out there....it's just up to the club to sell what we have and what we could have

Nowt wrong with our area. Cleethorpes is a great place to live, we have the wolds on our doorstep, events like the airshow, a top notch shopping centre considering the size of the place, loads of beaver and fish n chips!

My original statement was that a London club like Wimbledon have a lot better chance of picking up decent players than we have.

Parts of Grimsby and Cleethorpes have very nice  area's to live in,

Plus there numerous villages that are very attractive,

BUT

We do not have the amount of players to look at and try to entice to sign than a London club.

That's not the reason we have suffered 3 relegations though is it?
