Grimsby Town face a trip to Notts. County at Meadow Lane on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Mighty Mariners will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in February 2006, with Grimsby Town inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Magpies in a League Two match.
