Club
History |
Founded in the summer of 2003 Grimsby Borough F.C. are affiliated to
the Lincolnshire F.A. and are members of the Lincolnshire Football League,
the club was created when Louth United withdrew from all competitions
for one season on the 17th July 2003. (Louth United returned to Lincolnshire
League Football season 2004 / 05)
With no competition in which to compete and no base, five members of
back room staff along with the same management team of Steve Newby and
Nigel Fanthorpe, and more importantly most of the original playing staff
formed a working committee, with the sole aim of ensuring amateur football
continued in the area.
The seven man team faced a good deal of hard work and the difficult
tasks of finding a ground to play on and a league which would accept
them at such short notice. With constant backing from the Lincolnshire
F.A, the Lincolnshire Football League and its members, those tasks were
all completed by Tuesday 2nd September 2003. Approval for the clubs
name and badge was granted by the council and Grimsby Borough Football
Club was born, ensuring an opportunity for all the local youngsters
and senior players in the area to progress and play football at a good
amateur level.
Following in the footsteps of famous local teams such as Drewery Sports,
Grimsby Amateurs, Immingham Town, Immingham BRSA and Ross Sports.
For season 2003 / 2004 Grimsby Borough fielded one team in the Lincolnshire
Echo Lincolnshire Football League, however due to the success of the
team (finishing second and achieving promotion) combined with work of
the committee. Borough are able to field two teams for the season 2004
/ 2005 competing in the Abacus Lighting Central Midlands Football League
Premier Division and the Lincolnshire Echo Lincolnshire Football league.
