How can we ever forget being 6-0 down at half time with fans desperate to get out !!!! Anyway pleased to see them back. Scunny have lost a local rival.
Gutted for solihull. The national league is full of upwardly mobile progressive clubs who will flourish in the league. Maybe next year for them instead of a hackneyed old badly run ex league club
That’ll be the same Grimsby town who, for the last three seasons, despite on field issues, have turned a modest profit.
You forget it seems. . 4-0 at half time. 6-1 at the end. Glad I blotted most of it from memory. Looked it up btw. Remember Rankin celebrating in front of us. Whilst on loan to Grimsby from US. Goals: Phil Jevons 23 Craig Armstrong 27 Phil Jevons 31 Isaiah Rankin 41 Phil Jevons penalty 55 Phil Jevons 75 Goals: Daniel Nardiello 47
Not sure mate but found this. Which may suggest we signed Boulding on a permanent and loaned out Rankin to replace him. Grimsby TownEdit Rankin scored two goals in his first six games. In a match against his parent club Barnsley at Blundell Park, Rankin scored a goal in a 6–1 victory for Grimsby, but controversially upset Barnsley manager Gudjon Thordarson for what he called an unprofessional goal celebration.[7] Thordarson stated that Rankin would never play for Barnsley again, and the player had his contract terminated with immediate effect, which allowed him to sign for Grimsby on a permanent basis until the end of the season.[8] And this Barnsley, like Grimsby Town, were in Division Two, but in a mid-table position. Boulding's first game for his new club was on 14 February 2004, in a 1–0 defeat to Wrexham.[32] Three games after Boulding signed for Barnsley, they sacked manager Gudjon Thordarsson and replaced him with Paul Hart, who asked Boulding to play at left wing. Boulding played six games in total before the end of the season, which included an early return to Grimsby resulting in a 6–1 defeat for Barnsley, but he failed to score a goal.[32] He recorded his first goals for his new club in the third game of the 2004–05 season in a 4–3 defeat to Luton Town on 14 August 2004, when he scored twice. He failed to score again until November and only netted one more by the end of 2004, but in the first four games of the New Year he scored another five goals.[40] He ended up scoring 10 goals for Barnsley from 38 games but he fell out of favour and was sent out on loan to Cardiff City in March 2005 for the rest of the season
OK no probs. But it was still dire with our fans virtually beating at the gates to get out, probably to cause trouble. I remember Rankin celebrating in front of our fans whilst out on loan. Strange how he changed from hero to zero having kept us up with a last minute goal.
Daft enough, I had very little recollection of the game. But the corner flag waving Grimsby nutter.(if it was that particular game) The Rankin incident And everyone trying to escape the torture brings it all back lol.
I am getting confused with the Ronnie Moores a w…..r he wears a etc. We just used to chant Nigel Nigel Nigel to Batch ????
