YOU MARRIED A VILLA FAN !!!!!!
Be prepared.A lovely day out, watched city there years ago and took my Villa supporting girlfriend and she still married me.
One of the many dumps that we have the pleasure of travelling to this season.
Be prepared.
They have one of the better stadiums. It has a McDonald's outside the ground so you have more choice of what crap you eat. Standing on the main road with the stadium behind you if you go right Grimsby Town centre is to your left. 10 to 15 minute walk. Go the other way and you get to Cleethorpes 'sea' front. It might be the mouth of the river Humber, but at least it looks like the sea.
The nightlife shouldn't be bad as there will be 'holidaymakers' The locals are mainly very friendly. Beer and food cheap in surrounding areas. A sneaky fish and chips whilst looking at the 'sea'
I can think of many that will be worse. Lack of places to eat. Lack of pubs. Angry locals, a shed of a ground and no 'sea' to look at. But they're the games I look forward to.
Why Skeggy? Its over an hour away, might aswell just go home or if you want a night out surely Cleethorpes is no worse than Skeggy?Booked Skeggy for after.
Fair play to the OP for starting this thread because I'd forgotten all about the small matter of getting match tickets.

Cleethorpes is a shithole. A day on the river bank that looks like a beach. Nightlife is poor. Better off in Grimsby for the nightlife. Not very good there either. But decent selection of pubs.Why Skeggy? Its over an hour away, might aswell just go home or if you want a night out surely Cleethorpes is no worse than Skeggy?
Not lots but enough to do. Small pleasure park. Lots of arcades. Skeggy pier....mainly more arcades. McDonald's near the pier. But Raff 55 highly recommended. At the start of the seafront. All in food. Chinese, Indian, Pizza as well as burgers and thin steaks. And all deserts included. I like the Eaton mess. Normally have a few. The earlier you go the cheaper it is. Beer a decent price.Got my son with me. Bit more for him in Skeggy., (I think!).
Get wrapped up if there is a breeze. Can be very cold even in summer.
Ok Daddy....Get wrapped up if there is a breeze. Can be very cold even in summer.
The last time we played there I went in with the Grimsby supporters. The away end gets the wind straight off the North sea. If you was there last time you would remember how cold it was. Most said the coldest they have ever been at a football game.Ok Daddy....
Scunthorpe away when marlon King played and "scored" his first...coldest day ever!!
I raise you the 3-0 win v MKDons at the hockey stadium!

I agree. The coldest I have ever been at a game. The third goal going in barely got a cheer everyone was so cold.I raise you the 3-0 win v MKDons at the hockey stadium!
I always find the Ricoh to be one of the coldest places on a winter evening, especially recently with the sparse attendances. Tranmere at home a couple of seasons ago sticks out as a particularly cold one, think we won 1-0 and Tranmere were top of the league at the time....both teams were dreadful and I was very happy when the final whistle was blown.
Theu normally allow 600. But they can give the whole side behind the goal if needed. Which hasn't been needed often for years. 2,200 IIRCDoes anyone know many tickets will we get? The football ground site says the normal allocation the 600? The ground holds 9,000 and their average attendance was 5,000 last season
