The 2003–04 season saw Grimsby Town F.C., managed initially by Paul Groves, compete in the Football League Second Division following their relegation from the First Division the previous year. Despite bolstering the squad amid financial pressures after the collapse of ITV Digital, the club struggled for form, resulting in Groves’s dismissal in February 2004 and the appointment of Nicky Law in March. Town finished 21st, suffering a second consecutive relegation to the Fourth Tier. In cup competitions, they exited early FA Cup (Second Round), League Cup and Football League Trophy (First Round)—while winning the minor Copa de Ibiza. Michael Boulding and Phil Jevons were joint top scorers with 13 goals each.
