Grimsby Town travel to take on Brentford at Griffin Park 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 last time the two teams met at Brentford was just over four years ago, in November 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a League Division Two match.
