The worst moment for me being a town fan is when we got relegated to non league.


Whilst I would say that has to be one of the lowest points in my Town supporting career, there was no injustice, we deserved to be relegated.

For an injustice, there are a few including that penalty in the dying moments of the Cup game at Coventry. It was never in the area.

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Being told were signing a ‘hairs on the back of your neck standing up’ type player.

Challinor, Nielsen red card, playoff final 2015, Mike Newell, Bignot, Bra gate...

Then there’s just been some horrific moments, relegation out the league, THAT fans forum, supporters smuggling smoke bombs as tampons, Ivano, Mike Newell, Braintree away, Dagenham away, Livvo nearly getting killed, Nick Colgan, Proudlock penalty...


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

Just scanned through.  Did anyone mention the ITV Digital collapse?

We were the club most affected.

The Braintree thrashing.

Getting relegated by 0.006 of a goal and 0.75 of a goal.

Not the worst example, not substantiated either, but probably a sad indictment of how the authorities view Grimsby Town:

I think it was in a cup competition (pre WW2 or during the war).  A game or replay could not be played.  The tie was awarded to the other team “as they would probably have won anyway”!

Sadly, there are a lot of examples to pick from.......😫

It’s hard to narrow it down to 30 let alone 3!

Biggest injustice?

One that sticks in my mind is Coventry's "goal" at Blundell Park a couple of seasons ago. Still to this day don't know how the ref allowed it to stand. Don't think he's reffed a league game since.

Ross Joyce not sending off Will puddy for handling a goalbound effort outside of his box early on in the 2015 play off final because he didnt want to ruin the game

Another one what sticks out for me is when Ian Livingstone was knocked unconscious in that 2.1 defeat  at home to Derby county, he ended up with a fractured skull, it was horrible to see that.


Sticks out that much that you forgot his name!!

It was Steve livingstone. A true footballing warrior. Maybe he had a twin brother called Ian 🙂
