Town's Winning Sequence
By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 11/09/2005
TOWN'S win at Peterborough was their sixth consecutive away victory, the best sequence in the Mariners' 127 year history. Grimsby have twice won five consecutive away games: once in 1951-52 under Bill Shankley; and again in 1982 under Dave Booth.
The sequence in 1951-52 was all in one season, with all the games taking place in Division 3 North.
| 26-Jan-52 | Accrington S | 3-0 | |
| 16-Feb-52 | Tranmere | 3-2 | |
| 23-Feb-52 | Workington | 4-2 | |
| 08-Mar-52 | Crewe | 2-1 | |
| 22-Mar-52 | Darlington | 2-0 |
As with the present run, the 1982 sequence straddled two seasons, and included a League Cup win. 1982's games were all in the old Division 2, now known as "The Championship".
| 12-May-82 | Leicester | 2-1 | |
| 31-Aug-82 | Scunthorpe (LC) | 2-1 | |
| 04-Sep-82 | Carlisle | 3-2 | |
| 18-Sep-82 | Charlton | 1-0 | |
| 28-Sep-82 | Middlesbro | 4-1 |
Here is today's sequence.
| 30-Apr-05 | Kidderminster | 4-1 | |
| 09-Aug-05 | Bristol R | 2-1 | |
| 24-Aug-05 | Derby (LC) | 1-0 | |
| 27-Aug-05 | Barnet | 1-0 | |
| 06-Sep-05 | Chester | 2-1 | |
| 10-Sep-05 | Peterborough | 1-0 |
Grimsby's worst sequence of consecutive away defeats stands at 11, which occurred in 1967-1968. Almost as bad was the club's recent run of away games between 03-Jan-2004 and 25-Sep-2004 when they lost 14 out of 15 matches away from Blundell Park, with a 4-4 draw at Chesterfield being Grimsby's only point on their travels (although even that effectively relegated the club).
Grimsby's next away game is on 24-Sep at neighbours Boston, who they have never beaten!
