Quoted from Maringer
In Bob Lincoln's book (published in 1912), he says:

"Speaking from memory I don't think that any club of note to play a series of matches was formed before 1879."

He then goes on to say that even back in 1912, there was some discussion as to which club actually was formed first - Pelham, White Star or the Wanderers, but thinks it was Pelham.

In the next paragraph he writes:

"Of course I am open to correction."

Bearing in mind that he wrote the book 34 years after the formation of the club, it's perhaps not surprising he might have got the date wrong. There seems to be a reasonable amount of other evidence that the club was formed as Grimsby Pelham in 1878 (when Lincoln wasn't involved), even though he subsequently played for GTFC in some of the early seasons and was later a director.


Not correct that Lincoln wasn’t involved with Pelham he played for them in 1878-79. ‘he says ‘other matches were played by Pelham I myself played tin them ‘page 13 he also appears in the team photo for 1878 on page 9:.
The issue is was Grimsby Town a change of name for Grimsby Pelham or a ne entity.  Lincoln describes continuing to play for Grimsby Pelham  against Louth on 1st November 1879 by which time Grimsby Town were already playing..  Then Pelham folded and a number of their players joined Grimsby Town including him
His view is summed up above and the title of the book Grimsby Town Football Club 1879-1912.
With no League place or fixture list taken over plus the above it seems to me that 1879 has a strong case going for it

I'm quite aware of the book, having being involved in its reissue back in 2003 (I think it was). I just scanned through a copy earlier and read his initial note about 1879 onwards.

I've been told that my great great (great?) grandfather was one of those who formed the club in 1878, though whether this is accurate or not, I couldn't say.

My own great great grandfather played for the club in the 1890’s hence my interest in the early history

Just put 1879 on the other side of the flag, and everybody is happy

Why not 2021, that’s at least when the current owners took over.

Custodians.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Accounts now filed at Companis House.
Altered from one’s published on club website at the end of January.
Missing £400k from Turnover identified above found and added to commercial income.
Erroneous accounts taken down and replaced on website announcement link posted at end of January.
So our comments on here do appear to be of value despite the abuse they bring
