One of the more frustrating visits to Salford came during the 2020/21 campaign, as the Mariners were denied victory late on despite an excellent away display.

Town made the perfect start when Harry Clifton fired home after just two minutes and they continued to create opportunities throughout an impressive first-half performance.

Salford struggled to break Town down for long periods, with James McKeown producing several important saves as the visitors defended resolutely.

But with only two minutes remaining, Ibou Touray found the top corner from the edge of the area to rescue a point for the hosts and deny the Mariners what would have been a deserved victory.

From clinical attacking displays to disciplined defensive performances, Grimsby Town have built up plenty of positive memories at the Peninsula Stadium in recent years.

Now, with another massive encounter on the horizon, the Mariners will be hoping to add another memorable chapter to that story.
