Manager: Alan Buckley

Ground: Blundell Park

Players In: Paul Raven from West Brom (Free)

Players Out: Mark Lever to Bristol City (Free), Lee Ashcroft to Wigan (£250,000).

Last Season v Wanderers: Wanderers did the double over Grimsby last term. A brace from Hansen was enough to give Bolton a 2-0 victory at the Reebok but it was closer at Blundell Park when Bergsson grabbed the only goal of the game.

Last Year's Top Scorer: Jack Lester

Key Man: Grimsby sold their most influential player, Jack Lester, on transfer deadline day and once again will rely on striker-cum defender Steve Livingstone to add the experience to a young side. The wily ex-Chelsea player is into the twilight of his career and will want to go out with a bang. Unfortunately, this might not be enough.

Directions to the ground: Take the M62, M18 to A180 and follow signs for Grimsby/Cleethorpes. The A180 ends at a roundabout (the 3rd in short distance after crossing docks), take 2nd exit from the roundabout over the Railway flyover into Cleethorpes Road (A1098) and continue into Grimsby Road. After second stretch of dual carriageway, the ground is 1/2 mile on the left.
