In November 1900, County lost 5-1 on their first visit to Grimsby, during our debut season in the Football League. In fact, our first six trips to Blundell Park all ended in defeat. I turn 40 this year, and we’ve only won four times in Cleethorpes during my lifetime. More often than not, we’ve endured a miserable time over in that part of Lincolnshire. We’ve lost on Christmas Day, Good Friday, and twice on New Year’s Day. We got beat 3-2 in the FA Cup despite being 2-1 up with a minute to go. Carlton Palmer and Antoni Sarcevic have both been sent off there. And I don’t think any of the 68 County fans in the away end will ever truly get over that 7-0 defeat on a Tuesday night in our first season in the Conference. However, all of the above is pointless in terms of today’s build-up, because just like Doncaster a fortnight ago, I’m saying County are definitely bringing all three points home this afternoon. Ian Brown, Ed Chadwick and Jonathan Baker all agree with me, too! https://thescarfmyfatherwore.substack.com/p/grimsby-v-county |
