Lincoln City's newest addition to the pre-season programme is a trip to Blundell Park. The recently relegated Mariners will host City on July 31st with a 3pm kick off. It is the first confirmed away trip to the Imps' pre-season.
City haven't won, or even scored from open play, at Grimsby Town since the famous 4-2 victory there in January 2005. Since then it has been four defeats and two draws. It will be a good test for both sides though as Grimsby will be able to see if they're still capable of beating League sides ahead of their first year in the non-league in 100 years, whereas City will use it as a yardstick to see if the two place gap between the sides was justified.
It is the first away trip in pre-season that has been confirmed, although the games at Boston, Gainsborough, Lincoln United, Sleaford Town and Worksop are also expected.
PRE-SEASON SO FAR
July 24th - Celtic (home)
July 28th - Norwich (home)
July 31st - Grimsby Town (away)
Imps will travel to Grimsby in pre-season

On Grimsby's site. I'm not sure which sounds worse, playing at Blundell Park or on Cleethorpes beach. One is a drab, dreary affair where the sun rarely shines and often gets covered in @#$%&.....the other is Cleethorpes beach.
