Question of the Week

Is football a business or a sport?




Robbie Stockdale
Robbie Stockdale

Defensive Duo to Return

TOWN defensive duo Robbie Stockdale and Richard Hope have entered the frame again for Saturday's crunch game with Chester City at Blundell Park. With Town yet to record a league win the match on paper is by the far the easiest game Grimsby have had to date this season.

Both players completed 90 minutes in last night's reserve game with Rotherham at Blundell Park, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

Hope has missed the last five games and Stockdale the last four with injuries.

Town have struggled without the pair, and have been forced to try different formations and play players out of position in order to accommodate for their absence.
