About The Club

ABOUT US

 

Grimsby Town Football Club is an English football club based in the seaside town of Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire.

 

Founded in 1878 as Grimsby Pelham, the Club was renamed Grimsby Town a year later and went on to become Lincolnshire’s leading football club, spending many years in the top two divisions and twice reaching the semi-final of the FA Cup.

 

The Club is owned by 1878 Partners Ltd, and since their takeover in 2021, they have made it their mission for there to be a real tangible connection between fans and the Club.

 

Along with a long-established Men’s First Team who play in the EFL Sky Bet League Two, the Club also has an academy known for developing talent, a Women’s First Team who compete in Division One North and the Grimsby Town Foundation, which last year delivered a charitable spend of over £4m.

The next chapter of Grimsby Town Football Club is in our hands. Together, we can achieve greater things. And to achieve greater things we need a great team.

 

WHO WE ARE

 

We don’t just work for Grimsby Town Football Club — we are Grimsby Town Football Club. It’s a remarkable story that began in 1878 and has continued uninterrupted ever since.

 

There is nothing bigger and nothing more powerful in uniting so many people — through purpose, passion and pride — than a football club. It’s people’s identity. It’s their family; their heritage. It’s where they belong. This is something that cannot be undone. The bond, ties and loyalty are forever. And by being here, we are part of the story.

 

This is no ordinary job. This is an extraordinary opportunity. We are more than staff, players, managers, coaches, analysists, physios, stewards, and volunteers. We are friends, supporters, promoters, entertainers, role models and, in some cases, idols and legends. But we cannot be any of these things without each other.

 

None of us is bigger than all of us. Every day, we strive for better. We are a football club, but we’re at the heart of something much bigger. A club formed from its community now has the power to define its community. We are today’s authors of this black and white story.

 

This moment has been 146 years in the making. And the next chapter is in our hands. Together, we can achieve greater things. And to achieve greater things we need a great team, and this is where you come in.
