Ok, our record against spa towns isn't great - think the debacle against Bath Town and countless defeats to Cheltenham ever since they beat us in the Play Off final. Thankfully we've never drawn Leamington in the cup.
But...I think our players will have a different mindset as well as a new found freedom and confidence after Tuesday night's win.
I know past glories count for nowt but how the mighty have fallen. Having seen us beat Liverpool and Spurs, knock Leicester (the then current holders) out of the league cup, reach the summit of the 2nd tier, the last 16 of the FA Cup and win twice at Wembley in '98, we undoubtedly have one of the most impressive footballing back stories in this division. That all said, Harrogate are currently above us in the league, which doesn't lie, but I'm confident we can get the better of the tea baggers today. UTM.
In a neat little town they all call Grimsby Apprentice to a tradeI was bound And many's an hour's sweet happiness Have I spent in this neat little town.
A sad misfortune came over me Which caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and relations Never Betrayed by the black and white band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair hung over her shoulders Tied up with a black and white band.

Harrogate, although having a reasonable first season in the league, have only won 4 at home. Therefore I’m not saying we’ll win (bloody hell I’m a town fan so I’m hardly going to say that!!) but we do have a good chance of getting something out of the game. #UTM
