And were you at Palace in 2001-02 when we lost 5-0? Perhaps you made the trip to Bolton in 1996-97, when we conceded six, or to Hillsborough, when we conceded seven? former route of Grimsby-Louth railway, widely used (albeit probably illegally) as a convenient pedestrian shortcut and secluded area for illicit drinking and drug use, between December 1980, when the line was closed, and the mid-1990s, when the traino was obliterated by the Peaks Parkway section of the A16, opened to traffic in October 1998 (but it doesn't look much like a park to me, unless it's one with cars instead of trees) Articles by John Newman, Lawrie McMenemy, Charles Ekberg, Roy Line and Sid Woodhead covering the history of the club, with particular emphasis on the 1930s.

Sandwiched in the middle of that madness was a chaotic 7-5 win over Barnet, achieved on 8th October 2022.

It's really pleasing that it came together, and really pleasing that we were clinical in the final third…They are a good team, I thought they were one of the better teams we'd played this season." An academic study of 1930s football, Kelly's book includes a chapter on Harry Betmead, with some quotes from contemporary newspapers illustrating both Betmead's and the club's style of play and the foundations of their success in the 1930s.Other Arsenal chances? Must I? Bergkamp drifted in from the left and, from 20 yards, hit a low right-footed shot a yard wide of Coyne's right-hand post. One of their substitutes, one of many with names which may have emerged from a Scrabble bag, did an exact copy of that Bergkamp shot, drifting in from their left and shooting a yard or so wide. And then the top Town moment. Boulding replaced Allen at half time, a straight swap with no tactical changes. The Town fans gave the mighty midget a huge cheer.

It was not difficult to see why each Arsenal player had been handed a contract; they were bigger, stronger, faster and all were able to read the game – they made many interceptions simply by observing the Town players. They had been coached well and were able to follow those instructions. They'd be pushing for a play-off place in division one ('cos they weren't that good). But they had Bergkamp and, if the memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime, then he won't remember this. His brain still works, but his legs don't. What goes "Yay Town! Swish, thunk"? Why, it's the Grimsby Reaper, metaphorically severing the heads of managers just after their teams have lost to the Mariners! Books marked with an asterisk we haven't seen copies of, so we cannot review them or advise on how much about Grimsby they contain.The number of games in which we conceded five or more goals stands at just 24, with an aggregate score of 21-133 (-112 goal difference, which is, on average, a losing margin of 4.67 goals). Our worst season is a three-way tie between 2016-17, 2003-04 and 1986-87, when we conceded 5+ goals on three occasions. style of dress and design suggesting poor taste, premature ageing and a hard life. See here for an unnecessarily detailed explanation It was in the early 2000s when we first noticed this pattern. Town would win a game; the other team's chairman would decide nothing could be more humiliating than losing against Grimsby; the manager would pay with his job (or almost, as in Gerard Houllier's case, his life). The green one was for second division sides playing at home; yellow for when they were away. Mostly ones, twos, and threes, but also a couple of zeros.

No disrespect to Crawley but that was almost too easy at times for us…and that makes me look like an idiot. Things are going to have to change" Town warmed up in front of the growing mass of Town supporters with the usual organised jogging down the touchline, followed by disorganised passing. Mmmm, come to think of it, that's how they play as well. They seemed to have nice new red sweatshirts for the occasion, so no bobbling in the knit there then.

Win. Win well. Win properly. Win better. Just win. Is that all we want from Town life? What's the point of actually going (or try to go) to the games if that is all you care about? If you're only interested in data go and play a computer game, or wait for Final Score. So, I'll sign off with the matches in which Grimsby Town proudly scored and embarrassingly conceded five goals or more. How many of them do you remember, and how many of them did you attend? If you have stories from any of these games, please share them with us! The Faroe Islands are essentially mountains: 340 of them, rolling across the 18 small islands that make up this archipelago about halfway between Scotland and Iceland. More than 70,000 sheep roam on the treeless, grass-covered peaks and verdant valleys, outnumbering the human population of 52,000. But it is not from sheep, or the land, that the Faroese make their living; the real wealth of the islands lies beneath the water.
