The good times...

With all this doom & gloom around at the moment.

What's your best GTFC memory?
I assume all the obvious one to come up, but mine has to be Accrington Stanley away. 2 - 0 down at HT won 3 - 2 a different team came out in that 2nd half.

What's yours?

Will always be final game in 71/72 against Exeter with 22,000 there, really feel for younger fans who do not at least have these memories to fall back on. Then again what you have never had you never miss

Beating the Pigs Sheffield Utd with a Drinkell hat trick was memorable

Anfield

That Stanley game was very special as was Barnet. Scunny last season was probably the best since we have been in non league although Disleys goals against Huddersfield and Gateshead were both special even though we ended up losing them both. I was born in 96 and didn't really take an interest in Town until I was 10. My first proper season of supporting Town was the season Buckley returned. I will always have fond memory's of beating Lincoln 5-1 and coming from 1-0 down at Sincil bank to win 1-2 and winning 2-0 at Notts County away with 2000 town fans. I think for any Town fan under the age of 20 then getting out of this league will be the greatest feeling they have had whilst supporting Town.

Totally and utterly AMAZING night that!
Don't know if you were aware but that game wouldn't have happened if not for a famous Humberside fog that came in unexpectedly and caused the abandonment of the original game? I was at that one too! :>)

So was I, remember leaving the ground to be met with clear blue skies and bright sunshine. Strange day but thank god it was, otherwise Sheff Utd in league, as mentioned above and Everton in 79 league cup andagain in 84

That was my first ever game when I was 7.

One of my personal highlights other than the obvious Everton, Newcastle, Liverpool and Wembley ones was the 4th Round Replay at Reading in 89. An amazing atmosphere at Elm Park that night. I thought that there would be a few hundred Town fans max but we filled that away end, there must have been about 1500 there along with a whole variety of different inflateables.

I can still picture the Town fans already celebrating the winner after Kevin Jobling had taken the ball around their keeper and just waiting for him to roll it into the empty net.

The Spurs game in 2005, can't believe that was nearly a decade ago.

Sheff Utd 4-0 League win
2 wins at Newcastle in 81/82
Middlesboro' FA Cup away

But actually most memorable was when we lost 5-0 at Anfield - with loads of Town fans in Kop....Kenny Dogfish, Jimmy Plaice.  Brilliant day.

For spectacle...
1998 Wembley first time
Over 30,000 Grimsby fans there (including 25000 armchairs)
Great sight that I thought I'd never see - and what a way to win it

For sheer disbelief
Beating Everton 1-0 in Milk Cup with Wilko's header at Goodison - we played 'Up the Mariners' all the way home on cassette non-stop!

For pleasure
Beating Spurs was pretty special in cup

2-1 win at Anfield.
In my 40 odd years supporting Town that was my proudest moment.

I suggest we ban you then.

Ivano scoring in front of the Pontoon to beat AB's West Brom

Wimbledon away in FA Cup was also brilliant....Big Keith (I think if I remember rightly) scoring in front of the thousands of Town fans.  Mate and I went into central London after the game and went into a pub run by a Wimbledon fan.  He kept a Harry the Haddock - we didn't pay for a drink all night.

Being born in '89 meant I missed beating Everton, seeing Town win a league title in front of twenty odd thousand at BP (although my uncle was there and I have a mint condition programme in one of my memorabilia boxes). Saw the two Wembley wins but can't remember much of the days as I was only young. I was at the 3-0 loss to Michael Owen in 1997 but missed the 2001 win as my dad had moved away and I had nobody to take me.

Started going again properly in 04/05 and have been an STH ever since. The Tottenham win is probably our best win in that time. Beating Lincoln in the play offs the same season was pretty special too. Wembley is always special for me, despite results.

We've seen a couple of very entertaining games in the last few years at BP. The 4-3 against Bristol Rovers sticks out as does the Huddersfield FA Cup game last season. Away wise beating Scunny was ace.

Anyway, can't wait for my next game which will be Chester.....ffs.

So many over the years, I have always enjoyed going to bigger clubs to see Town beat them on their own turf,

Bolton, Birmingham, Chelsea, Derby, Hull, Ipswich, Liverpool, Man City, Oldham, Preston , West Brom to name just a few,

Home games that stick in my mind are, Everton, Sheff Utd , Sheff Wed, Wolves  Man City, Spurs, Chelsea ,  that we won,

West Ham drew with Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters in their side,

Arsenal and Aston Villa which we lost but both good games,

The ones I have enjoyed down in the conference are away to Histon , Kettering  and Cambridge, a bit of difference don't you think.?
