GRIMSBY Town welcome promotion rivals Forest Green Rovers to Blundell Park tonight and will be keen to go into their festive fixtures on a high.
The Mariners were last in league action on November 29 - when they drew 1-1 at AFC Telford - and have been forced to watch on as their fellow challengers played catch-up in the meantime.
Now sitting fifth in the table, Paul Hurst's side find themselves with ground to make up, having now played a game less than the four teams above them.
Tonight's visitors will pose a stern test, however, having been among the pre-season favourites to lift the Conference title.
Don't worry if you can't make it to Blundell Park tonight, you can follow the action with our live and interactive Big Match Live service from 7.45pm.
