Harrogate Town set for Boxing Day clash at Grimsby Town
Harrogate Town are set for a Boxing Day trip to Grimsby Town.
Town will make the trip to North East Lincolnshire on a run of four games without a win in December.
Meanwhile, the Mariners head into the clash on the cusp of a play-off place in eighth position.
The match represents the start of a busy Christmas schedule for Harrogate, with a trip to Fleetwood Town on December 29 and a home game against Salford City on New Year’s Day.
Simon Weaver, Town manager, said he expected a “passionate performance” from his side at Grimsby.
He said:
It will be a good ground to visit and play. It's always a partisan support and we will enjoy the challenge.
But, what we want is a really good passionate away performance with substance and style behind it. We want the points.
Town will be hoping for a response after losing their last four fixtures in December and having not recorded a league win since the trip to Gillingham on November 23.
Josh March will miss the trip to Blundell Park after being sent off in the defeat at home to Walsall.
Meanwhile, Admiral Muskwe will face a late fitness test after injury and James Daly is expected to be fit after missing last week’s home game.
However, Weaver said winger Eno Nto will miss the trip to Grimsby.
