Postbag: Is there a Grimmo word for relegation?
16 March 2009
What are you thinking? What are your hopes and dreams? Write and let us know. Think of it as therapy.
Bernard's or Sidney's for sideburns
Dear Ben,
I reckon that was indeed likely to be specific to the dills of South Parade Juniors. Certainly didn't reach us at St Mary's First and Middle. Maybe the Grimmo dictionary needs to distinguish between these regional dialects?

Giffens could work.
Grimmo words on a Grimmo T-shirt
I second that motion [in the last postbag] for a Grimmo Dictionary T-shirt. Nothing fancy, just the dictionary style definition of the best Grimmo phrase as voted for bythe CA faithful. Black on white or vice versa. The list to be voted on includes
Pag
Scraps
Chinney Rack On
Spoggy
Monk On
Don't ask me for the 'OED' style definition though, I hated English at school and only scraped 'C' at O level. Hold on, maybe that's why we make our own words up?

Danny North does the work of two men
So, if Danny North is so big then isn't he the answer to our problems? Similar to the "I'm not saying he was fat but wherever he stood in the room he was next to you" joke, couldn't Danny North man-mark opposition forwards and also pressurise defenders simultaneously without actually moving?
I hope all's well with you at Cod Towers. If only the footy was up to the standard of the writing we would be challenging for Europe. Or at least avoiding the drop.
Cheers!

There's a joke there somewhere... Danny North does the work of two men: Haurel and Lardy... something along those lines.
Loyal supporters
I love Grimsby fans...
...especially this Grimsby Pompey fan.
Has the world gone mad? What was Re-newell thinking?
Kanu? Has he not heard of Peter Bore?

Guest players in WWII
Is there any list of the 'anothers' who were drafted in to help Grimsby during the second world war? Do we know anything about them?

Dave Wherry's book, We Only Sing When We're Fishing, lists them. I imagine the updated edition he brought out last year, The Grimsby Town Story, does as well.
Home news from far away
I am a recent American convert to footy and was pointed in my reading to this fine site. My weekly reads lead me to believe to you reside in a bucolic, quaint seaport. Today is the day that I Google for Grimsby info and the first headline in the Grimsby Telegraph is about a lorry driver accused of the "sexual grooming" of a 15 year old. Not a phrase I have heard here in Texas. Even more insulting: the name of his lawyer is Carl CODD! That's not all. The Great Koi Caper was brought to an end with the arrest of a Grimsby man who stands accused of "handling the fish". That is a phrase I am familiar with. How can the football team compete with such colorful activities?

Suffice to say that such are the national headlines Grimsby tends to attract, it is pretty difficult for the football team to bring the town into disrepute.
More red socks
Gladly lend my support to this most worthy of causes.
The Town kit never looked as good as in the late 70s when I was a lad. The red socks set us apart from the other black and white clubs, and I always felt that it was the smartest kit in the League.
Come on Town and do the right thing!

Stop press
New entry for the Grimmo Dictionary: The Squaro as in the 'Blue Square Premier Division'.
Can I be the first to 'coin' that phrase?
Ian Jackson
via email 16/3/09
Bloody hell, I wrote the headline before I saw this late letter. However, lets not give sponsors any more exposure... and that's all from this postbag, brought to you by McTavishes dog biscuits: make your dog happy, don't take it to Chester v Grimsby.
