History of the Grimsby Town v Macclesfield Town fixture
Grimsby Town are ready to welcome Macclesfield Town to Blundell Park on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Though history would suggest this fixture as being a 'banker' draw for the Mighty Mariners.
The previous match played between the two at Blundell Park was within the last three years, in February 2010, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.
