Remember this game well, mostly for seeing Tony Finnigan playing left-back with a number 9 on his back.
Didn't your Gordon Hobson hit a hat-trick in what proved to be one of his last games for Grimsby Town, securing himself a glamour move to Southampton?

I remember the pain very well and the thought of loosing to Grimsby on a cold foggy Friday night is probably the driving force that got us to the place we are and feel bad about today so if you are not happy --- do you really want to go back !!!!

We were on an equal footing back then, Palace were a bigger club overall but even in the games at your place crowds were very low mid 80's. We'd finished 4th in 83/84 before the playoffs were a thing. Sadly nearly 20 years of mismanagement has had us in the Conference twice, even though we've still spent more years in the second tier than any other level.

There's footage here of us going 3-1 up at home to Swindon only to draw 3-3.

Ahh the late, great, Brian Moore. [Link]

If not the seaon before we drew 3-3 with Plymouth and the one before that 3-3 with Cardiff.
