Grimsby will look back at 2016 with fond memories after they managed to claim their place back in the Football League after a six year absence, but as the year draws to a close there will be a sense of frustration at Blundell Park. With the loss of promotion winning manager Paul Hurst the Mariners brought in highly rated Marcus Bignot from non-league Solihull Moors but with just eight points coming from his first seven games in charge it’s fair to say he’s not had it easy so far.

Visiting Blundell Park is a Blackpool side who themselves have had a bit of a turbulent year. They were relegated from League One last season and they finished the campaign with fans protests against their owners. With tensions high, the 2016/17 season has been somewhat of a success so far as the Tangerines have established themselves as a difficult side to beat on the pitch. Whilst all may not be forgiven between the fans and the owners, on the pitch Blackpool have managed to claim an impressive 16 points from their last eight league games. They have an excellent record in front of goal and that is also matched by an excellent record at the back.
