Lincoln City face a trip to Grimsby Town at Blundell Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Red Imps will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 24 and win only 9 of the 45 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2006, the Mighty Mariners carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Football League Play-Offs (Lvl 4) match.
