Quoted from Maringer
Location isn't just about having somewhere nice to live, it's having things around to do.

Young footballers are invariably going to want to live in or near a major city for the nightlife and social opportunities that a relatively small, impoverished town just can't offer. It's no surprise that some of our players tend to keep themselves based in Sheffield/Notts/Hull(!) and then commute over here so I think our location does affect our 'pulling power' and is an important factor to consider.


When we took students in they all commented how great the nightlife was in Cleethorpes/ Grimsby,

That was in the 1980's, has the nightlife gone down now ?

One was from Sheffield another from Swansea,

On the other hand we never had any trouble getting senior pro's to come here,

Whymark, Birtles, Futcher, Webb,Todd, Beasant, Nichol and Bonnetti to mention just a few

I don't think it's nearly as good as it once was - just too many bars these days so everything is less 'concentrated' and the night tends to get spread out too much.

Nightlife was great in the 1990s and the earlier 2000s (friends from elsewhere agreed), but I think the change to late night opening pretty much everywhere has made things a bit worse. Or perhaps I'm just getting older and more miserable!
