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 25 and win only 9 of the 47 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2007, the Mighty Mariners carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Two match.
