Grimsby Town in Popular Culture
During April 2007 it was announced that Grimsby had struck a deal with Sky channel Propeller TV to show four 30 minute shows named "GTTV". The show mainly focused on player and staff interviews and match reviews. The project was eventually scrapped after the four shows aired.
Grimsby Town has popped up in two British films, being mentioned as one of Mike Bassett's former clubs in Mike Bassett: England Manager as well as the film ID.

Famous quotes containing the words town, popular and/or culture:
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Kings govern by popular assemblies only when they cannot do without them.”
—Charles James Fox (1749–1806)
“We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
