The Cobblers meet Grimsby Town today for the first time since that fateful game in May when Ryan Gilligan's late equiliser up in Cleethorpes helped to consign The Mariners to a playoff place rather than joinging us in League One. Grimsby lie 4 places from the foot of League Two but have this week reappointed former boss Alan Buckley in a bid to change their fortunes.
Buckley was in charge when we met in the Division Two (League One) playoff final at Wembley back in 1998 and today sees another chance for this fixture to make its mark in history.
Joe Burnell is a doubt for the Cobblers, while Grimsby are without Gary Jones who serves the final game of a ban. Danger man Michael Reddy also remains on the sidelines for the visitors.
Big chance to make it to Round Two this afternoon and I don't fancy a replay so let's get it done at Sixfields!
