... was that fateful day at Halifax, the most toxic and darkest day of the Conference, what a difference a year makes.

And it was the day Cameron came back with his white paper from Brussells which laid the seeds for a bad year.

All in all a bad day all round.

Rubbish. It was the year Grimsby Town AFC got back where it rightfully belongs, in the Football League.

All else pales into insignificance.

Far worse than losing to Crewe...

But season 13-14 was worse when we lost to them home and away, at least we beat them 7-0 at home before losing in the game you're referring to 4-2
And why was it the most toxic and darkest ?

Surely Braintree away and Crewe away take that accolade.

Grimsby Town AFC? We launched a breakaway club RRFC?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Now if we're really looking back on this date.....

Saturday 18th February 1989

.....when Harry Haddock and thousands of Mariners descended on Plough Lane

And I still believe we had a legitimate equaliser ruled out before they broke away for their third

If I remember right (and that is far from a given) one of their goals followed a push on the back of one of our defenders that went unpunished.

Firstly Crewe was in the league and secondly Braintree was an early season freak when nobody knew how good anybody else was and there wasn't a mass chant of "Hurst Out" or "Hursty is a w*****" either was there? And nor was there any racist abuse at Braintree which probably contributed towards Toto's exist.
