History of the Grimsby Town v Morecambe fixture

Grimsby Town are ready to welcome Morecambe to Blundell Park on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The two sides drew on their own previous meeting.

The only previous meeting between Grimsby Town and Morecambe at was within the last three years, in October 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in an (Associate Members) match.
