Grimsby travel to take on Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Mariners will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 8 and win only 3 of the 14 games.
The last time the two teams met at Plymouth was back in August 1997, over five years ago, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Division Two match.
