4-2 wins

Quoted from gtfc82

The 4-2 home win against Stockport in 1990 was my first ever Town match. I was only 7 but was hooked from then on.  

I think we beat them 4-2 away the same season

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Was that the day the pitch was really icey and only Diddy Gilbert could keep his footing?

Yep, I remember it well, was there with my Dad on the terrace between the Pontoon and the Main Stand.

Quoted from lee65

Didn’t we beat Boston 4-2 from 2-0 down?, Peter Bore got a couple or maybe three?

That was 3-2. First day of 06/07, Graham Rodger's finest moment. Bore came off the bench for his debut and scored 2 and set 1 up and was gonna be topscorer as we romped to the title after playoff final disappointment the season before.

There was a 4-2 win the other year against Lincoln in the County Cup.

To be fair, the top scorer bit was true! (joint at GTFC)

We did beat Alfreton 4-2 at home.

But the very first season we played them, we beat them 5-2 at home (Hearn with 4) and 5-2 away.

Incidentally, we've played them 8 times, won 7, drew the other 1.

Aggregate score across those 8 games? 31-10 - that's an average of just over 5 goals per game!

That would be around the same time of the Liam Hearn/Matt Green argument.

I used to post on a general non-league forum and there was a big argument between Grimsby and Mansfield fans as to who was the best striker, Liam Hearn or Matt Green! All Mansfield fans were adamant that it was Matt Green.

Well I have a spare few hours and using Rob's database I found out the following regarding 4-2 wins for Town.
