Who can forget it what happened on the 24th May 1998? The last time the two sides met of course was in slightly more important circumstances and in a more glamorous setting than Blundell Park or the Sixfields Stadium! Still not remembered? Town beat Northampton in the 1998 Division 2 Play Off Final 1-0, thanks to a Kevin Donovan goal in the 19th minute. Town managed to miss a penalty and hit the post - but still survived to hold onto a momentous win for Grimsby Town, which saw them return to Division One just a season after they were relegated.
Grimsby Team: Davison, McDermott, Gallimore, Handyside, Lever, Burnett, Donovan, David Smith (Black, 66), Nogan (Livingstone, 60), Lester, Groves
Northampton Team: Woodman, Clarkson, Frain, Sampson, Warburton, Hunt, Peer, Heggs, Freestone, Gayle (Seal, 56), Hill (Gibb, 60) Attendance: 62,988
