WITH the League Two promotion race hotting up, Town make the short trip to Sincil Bank to face Lincoln City on Saturday afternoon. With both sides needing points to advance their promotion charge, it augurs to be a competitive derby game.

After 96 meetings between Grimsby and Lincoln, it is certainly the Mariners who have enjoyed the most wins. Town have beaten the Imps 43 times, with the Imps beating the Mariners 28 times. However, Town will not be comforted by the fact that they have not recorded a victory at Sincil Bank since 1958 when they ran out 4-1 winners. In the 12 games since then, Town have lost seven of them. Russell Slade and his men will certainly be hoping this bad form at the Bank ends on Saturday afternoon.

Last Meeting | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Mariners will certainly be hoping for a repeat of the last time they met Lincoln. Back in December, Town defeated the Imps 3-0 on a snowy night at Blundell Park. Town had the game wrapped up by half time. Ciaran Toner got his first for the club against his former employers and has since gone on to add three more to his name. Michael Reddy struck after 25 minutes before Andy Parkinson netted a cracking goal just before half time.
