History of the Grimsby Town v Wrexham fixture

Grimsby Town prepare to entertain Wrexham at Blundell Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Mighty Mariners are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 6 of the 27 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Blundell Park was less than a year ago, in February 2007, the Mighty Mariners carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Two match.
