We visit GRIMSBY and CLEETHORPES | Visit ENGLAND 🏴 | UK Tourism
Jane and I are back with a NEW Football Tourist Guide and this time we visit Grimsby and Cleethorpes to follow Chase Town who are playing Grimsby Borough in the FA Trophy. It’s an International break for Blackpool so it is a FREE weekend for us to go and watch some ‘non league football’ and what a cracking game it was too.

Are you back together now 🙏
It's good to see Jane back on board. You each bring a different perspective to TFTG. Keep up the good work!
Yes Blackpool played Grimsby Town in August 1979. I was there. Derek Spence got injured and was taken to our old hospital with a suspected broken leg. As it turns out he had intense bruising. He was transferred to Southend United, played against Grimsby and lost again. How many footballers can say they lost at the same ground twice in one season? Incidentally the Nolans were playing Cleethorpes pier and there was also a local connection there.
Great that guys. Loved the guy showing you round the fishing boat. Total passion for his former trade there. Looking forward to the next one.
