TOWN's 8-1 defeat to Hartlepol on Friday was the club's worst result since 1948. It is the second season in a row where there has been an exceptional scoring game: last year's 6-5 win over Burnley equalled the record for the total number of goals in a Grimsby game. Here are all Town's record games.
