Grimsby boy moves to the States.

Hasn't some American film type fellow put money into Grimsby Towm FC?

Adam Richman from the original “Man Versus Food” is a fan of GTFC, but he’s not put money in as far as I know.

Town did feature in the final episode of Welcome to Wrexham, when they ruined the fairytale ending by beating the Hollywood-owned team.

That's what I was thinking of - Adam Richman. Why?? Of all the teams in Britain!

You were right, he did buy some shares.

As for why GTFC, “he developed a soft spot for the Mariners when he sat next to a fan on a flight home from the UK after a press junket promoting Man Vs Food in 2013.”

Everyone in Grimsby talks like that

Humberside Airport is just a few miles from Grimsby, and even closer to me.

I'm happy to meet anyone from elsewhere should they come to Grimmo lol

Do we not call it Kirmington Airport any more then?

(I know this really. I just wanted to say Kirmington airport as it sounds nice)

I took my first flying lessons there. It was still called Kirmington in those days.

[Mrs Miggins]

[rutabowa]

[Mrs Miggins]

18 years I lived in Cleethorpes. Family still up there. But I have never once been to Scunthorpe.

Mind you, my parents approached going to the village of Healing like a trip to the moon so Scunthorpe might as well be in a galaxy far, far away....

(Healing is around 6.5 miles away)

Officially, no. The site is closed for a month.
But when we asked about that, the residents said people did stay and just kept quiet about it.

Built on a flood plain, and below sea level. Very noisy neighbours, it's a large holiday park with outdoor entertainment area. To top it off you can't live there year round. Usually the build quality is OK but not up to the standards you'd expect.

I thought it was two months but I could be wrong. The Haven and Pearl (Beacholme) are closed for two months.

Yes, closed overnight 4pm-9am Jan and Feb, but as I say, not strictly enforced.

ah. i see.

Property in Cleethorpes is very cheap. For little more than this you could get a proper house.

Aren't they basically static caravans?

 

[Lazy Llama]

Aren't they basically static caravans?

They vary tremendously in age, build quality, facilities and price. E.g. Check out this 2 bedroom chalet for sale on Rightmove

 

[Pickman's model]

Some are, others are rather more permanent dwellings

You're certainly not supposed to but some of the dwellings on fitties certainly look like they are
