The new Mariners Trust book, We are Town: writing by Grimsby fans 1970-2002, is available to order now

It brings together classic fanzine writing from Sing When We're Fishing, The Fishy, Cod Almighty and When Saturday Comes along with some chapters written specially for the book. It also presents the results of the Great Grimsby XI poll we held earlier this year to pick the eleven best players, and manager, to represent Town from 1970-2002. The book will be launched at McMenemy's on 13 November at a special event including players and the manager from the Great Grimsby XI.

You can read an interview with one of the editors, Pete Green, here: http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.....4-detail/story.html?

You can sort yourself out with copies of the book or tickets for the launch here: http://www.marinerstrust.co.uk/we-are-town-book-launch/

We're keeping quiet about who has made the Great Grimsby XI, but meantime feel free to guess which players received absolutely no votes in the poll, but do nevertheless feature in We are Town.

I reckon the manager of the XI might be Buckley.

I've written a couple of chapters for this book, so obviously I'm going to recommend it highly.

But having been lucky enough to get a glimpse of some of the other content that's in there, I can safely say it's different to every other Town book there's been.

We might be reminiscing about familiar points in history, but they're from completely new perspectives - ones that were almost lost in time, written years - decades - ago.

Those emotions have been frozen in time, so you really get a sense of what it felt like to be a fan through the eras that you or I may not have experienced.

And all money goes to the Trust, so, you know, everyone's a winner!

And it's my dad's Christmas present sorted

Looking forward to getting hold of a copy. Does it contain any old articles from the Sing When We're Fishing fanzine?

I read that on the os. I thought it was written by professionals - not bloody fans? Is it not therefore a bit of a niche market, only the people who contributed will buy it? I guess im saying that if you wanted someone to talk about a film you'd get an actor, director or such like, not someone who watched it in the cinema.
