memories of grimsby away

[Bath Blade]

A Tuesday night penalty shootout defeat in the league cup. September 11th. I think this may have been the game where Steve Kabba got a standing ovation from our fans whilst playing for them. We signed him shortly after. Think Suffo scored for us.

.

The standing ovation match was at home. I think we beat them 3-2 with a last minute own goal (if my memory isn't playing tricks on me).

 

[CherryGarcia]

The luton game is the one I remembered .

I remembered that one. As for Grimsby, I can only remember not being able to see the goal to my right because of a huge steel pillar type thing and that I didn't realise Grimsby played in Cleethorpes. So after the game I drove me and the mates to Grimsby to get fish and chips only to have to drive back because all the chippies were in Cleethorpes.

 

[Lane Ender]

Derek Richardson our one eyed keeper had a mare in that 4-0 drubbing.
Shit myself every time it went near him.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Must have been around 1984-6. Me and my mate had been turned away from every boozer near the ground as they were strictly home only.

So we went in early and stood next to a small group of fellow early birds. Players were warming up near penalty box and a bloke next to me starts constantly shouting 'Edwards you're a tosser'.

Our Keith hears this and trots over cupping his ear, looks directly at me and says 'what?' with a grin on his face. I start doing a strange mime which attempts to impart that it wasn't me, when luckily crazy man pipes up 'only kidding pal'.

At this point I felt relief as 100 pairs of eyes move away from my bright red innocent face towards him.

Look I was 18 and shy - alright. Might be a crap story but it sticks in my mind!

 

[Silent Blade]

Ok then Silent, my first initial thought as that it was Mick Speight.......but then I thought Stainrod.
Am I right in that it could have been Mick Speight? Or am I just going senile......end of term ....that's my excuse.....

I have never watched the Blades play at Grimsby. I was playing football regularly on Saturdays between 1979 and 1987

was thinking the same tues night game

 

[diplomat]

Been to Grimsby thrice and all during Neil Warnock’s reign.



A 1-0 defeat just after we’d signed Paul Furlong on loan and we took a set piece that was so bad Grimsby almost scored from it and was met by a chant of “what the fucking hell was that” by our own fans and. Think Michael Boulding might have scored for them before going on to sign for us.

The 4-1 win in the triple assault season. Had some car trouble before the game which meant I got there late just in time to see a rare goal from Kozzy from distance.

The middle one was a home game, I remember that well.

Ah fair enough mate, couldn't remember for sure.

 

[grafikhaus]

My only other memory is a well know nutter who follows Utd wading into everyone who wanted a fight in the big stand to the left of where we stand ,he took about 10 out and didn't get nicked.

Yup, med and my mates were at that game. Remember this guy taking on a mob of theirs and knocking them all down. That's all I can remember. It was in the '90s and I haven't a clue about the score. Not a night match.

 

[Kenilworth]

1-0 defeat, February 2002.

Paul Peschisolido hitting me with a warm-up shot, dislocating my finger and causing me to spill hot Bovril on my bollocks.

.....I've had better away days.....

I hope you didn't waste the Bovril

 

[RossoDeltic]

Sure I went to a game where Edwards scored a free kick into the top corner and Joe Bolton scored from an Edwards corner(?)

 

[Dkc]

was it 1980, last match of the season and despite everything, we sat down on the terracing until Harry Haslam came out to thank us?

I was there, we were all singing "One Happy Harry", he knew it would be his last game and there were tears in his eyes. Everyone lobbed their scarves onto the pitch

 

[Cityroads2]

Ye was there at that one bin stead cooper man speech rip singin do you remember the good old days before we went down we beat Liverpool in the 1st red was I with you beefy?

I know him Graf ,one to stay away from ,in and out of nick constantly ,always at matches and in town when hes not inside and always in trouble.

 

[Sirius]

Once went in a chippy in Grimsby before the match and my mate asked for fish and chips. The lady behind the counter said they didn't have any fish.
My mate said "Are you kidding, dangle a fuckin rod out the back door"

I went late and asked if they had any chips left. they had. 'Thats your fucking fault for cooking so many then" Got my own back for the puke they had so;d at dinner time,

OK another crap story, and I could be wrong about the name. When I was a chabby all goalies wore the green and the green, apart from the Grimsby goalie (was it Wainright who wore a red jersey? Sorry guys, there wasn't a lot for us ankle biters to get exited about.

I think the goalie you mean was called Harry Wainman, Sirius? Retired and opened a sports shop on Freeman Street Grimsby.
