Just been running through tonights scores and came across Grimsby at the bottom of the conference
They got their first point of the season on season after losing their first two games 2-0 at home to fleetwood and 5-0 away at the footballing hotbed that is Braintree
I was wondering if they drop out of the conference, has this ever happened to a former league team before?

Got a mate who's a Mariner - home and away, even though he lives in Lincoln
In the last three years his hair has gone completely silver.
You may be right but surely they would have needed to start lower than this league if that was the case , it is only 2 from the Conference.
Steve Evans now the Crawley manager was the Boston manager when they were in the league. He got a 12month suspended prison sentence for fraud and tax evasion, i.e. paying his players with £50s in brown envelopes round the back of the pub carpark
pity, Grimsby is a lovely town and the club means a lot to the town. Shame is the number of youngsters you see in Man U, Liverpool, West Ham and other bigger clubs' strips. Grimsby Town could well go the way of the town's famous trawlers, to the scrapyard
You sure Lincs?
The Shaymen are on the way back, two successive promotions now see's them in the Blue Squre North
;o)
I am gonna compare your home turf with Grimsby .. come on now and tell the truth
try and spot the boundary .. like West Ham play in East Ham
average gate of 13,706. That year we finished top of Division 3 with an average gate of 15,713.
Beckenham is becoming a gang and crime ridden, Charity shop infested dump.
I have lived in Beckenham 30 years and gang and crime ridden it ain't! Charity shop infested is true though!
All you seem to have mentioned are the benefits of living in a northern village (which I would agree with having been brought up in a northern village). That does not make Grimsby a "lovely town".
Grimsby Crime Stats
Beckenham's lower in 5 out of 6 per 1000 crime statistics.
AND .. SuperClive was a gift from Grimsby .. where would be be now if he'd refused the move????
I did say becoming .. a lad was stabbed to death in a gang fight quite recently in B'Ham, this would have been simply unheard of even 10 years ago. It happened literally yards from where I used to live. I often had to face abuse and rudeness from young gangsters in the area around the cricket and palace training grounds and up on Southend Road around the estates at the top of the hill. Beckenham, like all London boroughs has it's very up market and very down market areas, as does Grimsby/Cleethorpes
It's a shame to see a club with a fine tradition hit hard times.
My grandfather played and coached there during the war apparently so I've always had a soft spot for Grimsby.
You've never had a drink in Bow or Bethnal Green then? .. that bloodstain must be passed around from pub to pub in Grimsby, was the pub called 'The Boot'? .. it's been pulled down now and replaced by a refuge for away team football fans who come under siege
exactly !!
Just a few more to add to the list.....
Workington Town
Southport
Newport County
Barrow
Accrington Stanley
Maidstone Utd
Bradford PA
