    Caribou Cup match thread

    I prefer to remember our visit to Stamford Bridge in December 1983 when we won 3-2 having been 2-0 down. It was the day that the IRA bombed Harrods an hour or so before kick-off and there is very little media related stuff from the game as most reporters were called away to cover the bombing...

    I think that anyone sat in the first couple of rows got a bit wet last night. :bg:

    Caribou Cup match thread

    Yeah, unbelievable. Not seen a storm like that for years. At least neither side were 2 or 3 goals up. Not sure when the game will be re-arranged though as we have a EFL Trophy game next Tuesday. Maybe the EFL Cup will trump that. Be a bit of added spice in the re-arranged game if we pull a plum...

    Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    He only signed for them a couple of months back on a 2-year deal. Must have had a falling out with them if it's true.

    Caribou Cup match thread

    Decent chance for us to make the 3rd round and draw a really big (reserves) fish but history is definitely against us. Rather surprisingly Macc have won at Blundell Park on their last 5 and are unbeaten in their last 9 visits so we'll need to break that hoodoo to progress.

    1st Full House of the season; Mariners v Bantams

    You are correct. The last 5 league meetings at BP have seen 4 Bradford wins and one draw. About time to stop that on Saturday I think and as you say our last win was in 1998 in Division One (Championship). Since that game there have been 12 games between us resulting in 9 Bradford wins and 3...

    1st Full House of the season; Mariners v Bantams

    Lincolnshire, the only place Grimsby has ever been, but I'm afraid at the current moment that accolade belongs to our friends down the A46.

    Cockles v Haddocks

    I didn't realise that they'd changed the rules so you can be offside from a square ball now.

    Scunny Vs Swindon

    When was the last time that we were above Scunny in the league?

    Cockles v Haddocks

    Hope all those going by train make it on time with the line between Sheffield and Manchester being closed. Most will have to go via Leeds now but should all get there okay.

    Worst Stadium Sponsorship names

    Kit Kat Crescent - York Tony Macaroni Arena - Livingston Cheaper Insurance Direct Stadium - Dumbarton Bargain Booze Stadium - Witton Albion All run it very close I reckon. But at least they're not sponsored by a place 130 miles away!

    Re-introduce yourself thread..........

    Another Grimsby fan here. Born in Cleethorpes but moved to Cardiff with my Dad's job when I was just 6 months old, moved again when I was 18 months old to Leicester. Sadly my Dad contracted leukemia (which was a death sentence back then) and died aged only 38 when I was just 3 and we ended up...

    Shirt Sales

    Going by how small the sizes have been the past few seasons compared to normal clothing, I'd say 5XL will be the most popular! The sizing compared to normal clothing is stupid.

    Pre Season friendly thread

    Can't really count our game last night at Gainsborough as it was the youth team apart from 1 new signing and 1 player just back from injury.

    We all know the quick and easy guide to judging friendlies. Important and telling if you win and irrelevant and all about fitness if you lose. :bg:

    I'm guilty on that one, but I apologise for the original post. Let's keep this thread to the discussions it is meant for.

    Pre Season friendly thread

    Maybe a bit controversial here and I have nothing against the LGBT population but why do they feel the need to flaunt it with all these Pride events. Maybe we should have a Straight pride when we all march through the City Centre saying how proud we all are to be straight!

    Pre Season friendly thread

    GTFC v GTFC tonight as we travel to play Grantham Town. Another nice win would be good but we all know that you can't read anything into pre-season results. The season we were relegated I think we were unbeaten in pre-season. Donny and Peterborough to come soon, so that'll be a better test for...
