Back in the 70s we were pretty evenly matched.

But in the 80s they had a nasty habit of beating us. I didn't look forward to them coming.

I remember them doing us 4-0 on the same day the Grand National was being run in the early 80’s

Just looked it up. We actually lost 3-0 and it was 1982. Grittar the 7/1 fav won the National that day and I wasn’t on that either. Funny the things you remember.

Me too!

Mention Grimsby and I always seem to remember about 200 of us on the Holmesdale terrace huddling together for warmth behind the goal, as the temperature sank below 0, and usually getting beaten or a dire 0-0 draw. Often on a Tuesday night.

A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

I always liked the away end at Grimsby. It was terracing and covered and we were always loud.

Ahh the fishy people!!... I remember a game similar to that.. I think the late 90s on a Tuesday night at Selhurst. About a 7000 attendance and about 100 of them.. I think we spanked them 5-0

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!
