GRIMSBY Town have lost 1-0 to promotion rivals Bristol Rovers this afternoon.

Tom Lockyer's second-half goal was enough to extend the impressive run of Rovers, who missed a first-half penalty after James McKeown was adjudged to have bundled into Nathan Blissett.

Matty Taylor could only rattle the post, meaning the sides were goalless at the break.

But Rovers emerged as the better side after the break and sealed the points when Lockyer beat McKeown on 67 minutes.

Town did have the ball in the back of the net in the final stages, but Ross Hannah was adjudged to have strayed offside.

See Monday's Grimsby Telegraph for 'The Verdict' and all the reaction from Blundell Park.

Grimsby and Cleethorpes filmgoers have given mixed reviews after watching Fifty Shades Of Grey – the blockbuster hit which is conquering cinemas throughout the world.

The film, based on the erotic romance novel of the same title, has been drawing global publicity due in part to the success of the book and for the reported steamy scenes which feature frequently in the flick.

The highly-anticipated film hit cinemas in time for Valentine's Day this year and the Telegraph caught up with people who had just watched the highly talked about film in order to gauge reaction outside the Parkway Cinema in Cleethorpes.

Joanne Jackson, 55, from Market Rasen, said she was impressed with the performances by the actors in the film.

"I thought it was very good on the whole. The two actors who played the characters got it just right. Jamie Dornan has the eyes and the look for the role.

"It stuck to the book as well and it wasn't too sickly. It was probably more explicit than I thought it would be. I thought I'd be disappointed but I wasn't."

And her husband Keith Jackson, 58, said although he only went along to provide 'moral support' for his wife, he appreciated the work of the two main actor Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson.

He said: "It wasn't really my thing but I thought the acting was good. I like the work that Jamie Dornan has done in The Fall. I wouldn't say I was dragged along to it, but I'm here to give moral support!"

Couple Liza McGuire, 25, and Chris Burton, 30 from Grimsby said they were disappointed with the ending of the film.

Liza said: "It finished on a bit of a dead end for me. It was also quite slow. There were quite a few sex scenes like everyone said there would be. It wasn't too bad."

Chris added: ""There weren't enough scenes like that for me! I haven't read the books and I did find it quite hard to follow because of the slow pace."

Carly Johnson and Matthew Marelk gave mixed reviews for the film.

Carly said: "It was a lot tamer than I thought it was going to be. The end left you hanging too so it looks as if there's definitely going to be a sequel.

"It was funny when we came out because people were looking at our expressions to see what we made of it.

Matthew added: "I'd give it 10/10. It's not often you get that sort of thing in the cinema. The storyline was quite strong too but you did have to wait a bit for it to get going."

General manager at Parkway Cinema Antony Maggs said the film has garnered "massive interest" locally.

He added: "We did expect the adaptation of E.L James book would be popular but the pre bookings have be phenomenal, on a similar level to a Harry Potter or The Hobbit. We have added extra shows to ensure that we can meet the demand especially over the Valentines weekend."

Some US news outlets are reporting that the film has broken takings at the Box Office after generating $76 million so far.

ELDERLY residents of a retirement home in Waltham are angry after the corridors and communal areas have been left without heating for four months.

The ground source heating broke down at The Limes sheltered housing on October 16, and since then residents have had to endure the winter months outside of their rooms without heating.

According to the residents, a team of engineers were sent out in October to service the radiators.

The day after, the heating stopped working.

Although their flats are still heated, the corridors, hairdressers, launderette and communal area are left without.

The residents have had to resort to using portable heaters instead.

Resident Lucy Lyons, 87, said: "It is just so cold. Four months is a long time to be without heating, especially during the winter.

"We shouldn't have to live like this. But no one seems to know what is happening.

"Some people here are over 90 years of age, and there's also three people in hospital at the moment and they're going to have to come back to this.

"The flats themselves are lovely and warm but anywhere else, it is absolutely freezing.

"People just don't come out of their flats anymore. Our social lives are just non-existent. We used to sit in the corridors and play puzzles, but now we just stay in our rooms."

A terminally-ill resident has been left bedridden according to a relative.

He used to exercise in the corridors and in the communal area, but now refuses to leave his room due to the low temperatures.

June Proctor, 78, said the situation can't get any worse.

"It's terrible," she added. "Without the portable heaters we would be freezing.

"When it was snowing it was just awful.

"It was working perfectly until they came to alter the time it came on for the winter. We were told they don't know how to mend it.

"This is the third consecutive year this has happened now, and it's just not good enough. Nothing has been done.

"It's a shame because it's stopped people congregating together and being social. Every month we have a meal where caterers come round, but we've had to stop that as it's just too cold to eat in there."

Shoreline head of neighbourhood investment Rachel Munoz said: "While there has been no impact on the provision of heating to individual homes, we do realise how frustrating this has been for residents of The Limes.

"We have spoken to various local and national specialists and manufacturers, carried out regular temperature checks and have agreed to get a back-up heating system in place for communal areas which our engineers are currently working with the gas utility company to get up and running as soon as possible.

"This issue has taken much longer than we would have liked but we are doing all we can to ensure an effective resolution."

A CLEETHORPES-born musician who helped produce the soundtrack for the award-winning film The Theory Of Everything has his eyes set on the Oscars.

Anthony Weeden, 40, worked alongside celebrated composer Jóhann Jóhannsson to create the score for the box office hit, which depicts the life of Professor Stephen Hawking.

And Anthony, who was brought up in Chichester Road, could be in line for more recognition after the film was nominated in the Original Score category at the prestigious Oscars award ceremony later this month.

But the former Signhills School pupil said it was important to stay grounded, despite the success he and his colleagues have enjoyed with The Theory Of Everything.

"There is a sense of pride but if you're not careful you can take these awards too seriously – they can go to one's head a little bit," he said.

"It's important not to lose a sense of reality. The important thing for me is enjoying the work I do and doing it to the best of my ability."

Anthony, who now lives in Berkhamsted, in Hertfordshire, has worked as an orchestrator for a number of films including The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Wild Target and the BBC TV drama Sherlock.

The role sees Anthony work alongside the composer of a film, before writing the musical notes to be performed by a live orchestra.

The sound is then recorded and applied to scenes in the film.

He said: "My main aim is to make sure I am realising everything that the composer wanted to hear. That is 100 per cent my goal.

"Jóhann is phenomenal. He's got such a great sixth sense for what is needed for the picture to work.

"He allowed me quite a lot of freedom and it was really lovely to have someone give you that trust.

"And the proof is in the pudding. We have come out of the other side with a Golden Globe and another couple of nominations."

Anthony's love of music manifested itself during a happy childhood spent playing in the Grimsby And Cleethorpes District Youth Orchestra and singing in the St Peter's Church choir.

He said his parents, who both still live in Humberston, enabled him to develop a passion for music. "I used to spend all of my time listening to classical music as a youngster – I was a bit of a nerd," he said.

"When I was about 16 I was getting up out of bed and putting on Gustav Mahler while I was getting dressed.

"It was a fascination for me and I just wanted more. I wanted to listen to as much as I could. I found it really dramatic and inspiring."

Anthony moved onto the Lindsey School, in Cleethorpes, where he studied in the lower, upper and sixth form department.

It was during this time that Anthony widened his musical palette by playing electric guitar in a number of small local bands, while dipping his hand into the odd music festival in the resort.

At the age of 16, he would regularly travel down to London to take lessons at the Royal Academy Of Music.

Following this stint, he went on to study music at Durham University and his eyes were opened to what was possible in his chosen profession.

He said: "I had conducted for two years at Durham at the university symphony orchestra.

"I got some experience conducting in the cathedral up there and I just thought 'I should really learn how to do this properly'.

"You get to know what's possible.

"When you're just in your local community you don't necessarily realise what's out there."

Desperate to find work in his chosen field, Anthony spent time conducting youth orchestras, before his big break came calling when he was asked to conduct a new music ensemble called Avenue A – a line-up made up of drums, bass, guitar and brass, an opera singer and percussion.

But it was a chance meeting with an old university friend which would lead to his first foray into the world of orchestrating for films.

He said: "About five years ago I was reintroduced to someone who I had met at university called Michael Price, a film composer who had worked on all of the Lord Of The Rings films.

"He was looking for an orchestrator for a film that he was scoring back in 2008 called The Mountain Within. At that time I was looking for some opportunities.

"On the back of that he has asked me to do all of his films since then and he has had some interesting projects over the years, including co-writing all of the Sherlock BBC TV shows."

He added: "Since then it has grown and I am working for about five or six different composers now, including Jóhann, who has just won the Golden Globe for The Theory Of Everything.

"I'm trying to balance the orchestrating work with the conducting work and I am finding that one is starting to feed the other."

Anthony added that despite his success working on box office hits such as The Theory Of Everything, he still remembers the place where it all started.

"I do pop back to Humberston from time to time at Christmas and Easter and try to see the family as much as I can," he said.

"We have just had a baby so grandparents spend a lot of time coming down to visit our little one.

"They really enjoy the fact that I am following my passions and am able to pay most of my bills doing something that I love. They are very supportive and I am very grateful for that.

"It's always nice to come back – home is home, even if it is Grimsby!"

A driver had a lucky escape after their car ended up leaving the carriageway and went down the embankment on the M180 eastbound last night.

The road traffic collision occurred overnight near Elsham.

Humberside Roads Police this morning tweeted: "RTC M180 Eastbound at Elsham - car left the carriageway & went down the embankment - luckily no one was hurt #312"

A CALLOUS uncle sold two bicycles belonging to his nephew and niece after sneakily taking them from a garden shed in a mean-minded theft.

He had a heroin addiction at the time and "his head was all over the place", a court heard.

Peter Atkinson, 35, of Albion House, Grimsby, admitted stealing two bicycles, valued at £70, belonging to Kelly Atkinson, on July 21 and committing fraud by selling them for £25 on July 22.

Brendan Woodward, prosecuting, told Grimsby magistrates that the two bicycles, used by Kelly Atkinson's two young children, were normally kept in a garden shed.

The defendant removed them from there and it was the "last time that Miss Atkinson saw them" there. She reported the matter to the police.

In September, she went to Cash Converters in Hainton Avenue, Grimsby, and saw her daughter's bicycle on display and for sale.

She told staff and the bicycle was removed from sale.

She asked about other bicycles and the stockroom was checked.

"Her son's bicycle was also in the stockroom," said Mr Woodward.

"Further inquiries were made. It was clear that it was the defendant, her brother, who had sold the cycles."

Atkinson had gone to the shop and sold both bicycles on a buy-back basis for £25. A buy-back fee was agreed but he did not return to buy them back.

He told police he was desperate for cash to feed his heroin addiction at the time and was not working.

Atkinson still had the heroin addiction in December but was working and spending part of his wages on his drug habit.

"He said that, at the time, his head was all over the place," added Mr Woodward.

"He was remorseful about what he had done and had tried to make it up to his niece and nephew."

Atkinson had not been in trouble since April 2010 when he had been jailed for breaching a restraining order.

Nick Furman, mitigating, said Atkinson was "in a degree of desperation" at the time.

He originally intended to buy back the bicycles at some point.

His sister had apparently allowed him to put other items on buy-back but he did not have permission on this occasion, said Mr Furman.

Atkinson had been staying with her at the time.

"He has sorted himself out," said Mr Furman. "It was a blip on a good period of progress. It was an isolated incident."

Atkinson, who was on the sick at the moment, was given a one-year conditional discharge and was ordered to pay £25 compensation, £85 costs and a Government-imposed £15 victims' surcharge.

NEIGHBOURS told of the dramatic scenes after emergency services were called to deal with an 'intense' fire which broke out at a home in Grimsby.

Black smoke was seen billowing out of a terraced house in Durban Road on Saturday evening as officers from Humberside Fire And Rescue were called to tackle the blaze.

The downstairs window of the property were visibly stained with black smoke and the window on the upper floor was smashed.

Scenes of crime officers were also deployed to the building, which was unoccupied.

A neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, said he dialled 999 after seeing all the smoke.

He said: "I was just upstairs in my home when I saw smoke billowing out of the back of next door.

"My fire alarm started going off as well so I rang 999 and three fire engines came.

"I don't think the man lives at that house anymore, so thankfully no one was injured.

Watching the drama unfold from across the road was Tom Russell.

He said he saw firefighters frantically kicking down the door .

"I was just in my living room watching the football when I saw the blue flashing lights from the fire engines.

"I then saw the firefighters run down a passageway to get to the back of the house and someone said they had to smash a window.

"They were also trying hard to kick the front door open. Once they gained entry, all of this black smoke came out."

News of the incident began to spread to nearby streets.

A Durban Road resident who works in Weelsby Street said: "I was at work when it all happened so I didn't get to see anything.

"Everyone who came into the shop was talking about it though, so it must have been quite bad.

"It was a good job nobody was in there."

A fire fighter on the scene confirmed that the property was unoccupied at the time of the incident.

He added: "At 6.44pm on Saturday evening we were called to attend a fire at a property in Durban Road, which turned out to be unoccupied.

"Our fire crews have had to work very hard as this was an intense fire.

"There was a lot of smoke in the lounge so breathing apparatus were used.

"Scenes of crime officers are carrying out an investigation to try to establish how the fire started."

Humberside Fire And Rescue have said the fire occurred in the lounge of the property and there was also heavy smoke logging throughout.

Four sets of breathing apparatus, two hose reels and a positive pressure ventilation fan were used.

So far there has been no indication of how the fire started.

A GANG of four men armed with a baseball bat smashed the windscreen and window of a car containing a prostitute and her client before robbing him.

Grimsby Crown Court heard moments after the victim had picked up the call girl and driven to an "isolated location" in Holme Street, two cars – each containing two men – arrive and blocked in his car.

The four men got out and one of them used a baseball bat to smash the windscreen and wallop the car bonnet and the driver's window, before stealing his gold bracelet and £100 in cash.

Ryan Tomney, 18, of Elsenham Road, Grimsby, was locked up for four years after admitting his part in the four-man robbery, which happened on October 6 last year at shortly after 12.40am.

Prosecuting, Katy Rafter said the victim, Christopher Dalton had left his work in Victoria Street, Grimsby, at around 12.40am and went to pick up a prostitute.

He drove through the Asda car park in Holles Street and into Holme Street.

Moments later the two cars arrived and blocked him in before the men jumped out and began their attack.

Miss Rafter said the window shattered and one of the men shouted: "Give me your money you paedophile."

One of the men reached in to grab the man's arm and yanked a gold bracelet from his wrist. Mr Dalton handed over £100 and the four men left the scene.

Miss Rafter said Mr Dalton had suffered cuts to both hands from the shattered glass and had feared he would be seriously assaulted.

After the men left, he drove the prostitute to Freeman Street before going to Grimsby Police Station.

A forensic examination of the car uncovered fingerprints, which led to Tomney's arrest.

In interview he denied any involvement and said his fingerprints would have got on the car "innocently".

For Tomney, Richard Hackfath said his client had instructed him to say little in mitigation.

He said: "He just wants to get on and do his sentence."

He added his client's partner had given birth to their child while he was in custody.

Recorder Felicity Davies said the robbery was aggravated by the facts it was at night, by a gang of four and in an isolated location.

She said: "This was plainly a planned operation."

She told Tomney: "You have a lot of growing up to do, apart from anything else."

The Recorder ordered him to pay £120 victims' surcharge.
