Bristol Rovers have managed 14 wins against Grimsby over the years, with the Mariners replying with 12 and both teams drawing nine times. However, the league record is perfectly equal - Rovers' two extra wins have both come in the FA Cup - with one being the last time the two clubs met (just a month ago) and the other back in 1910 (the first time the two clubs met), completing one of the more symmetrical records in football.
