The Gingerbreads are back at The Meres today looking for a second consecutive home win.

After last Saturday's match at Nantwich was postponed while The Gingerbreads were on their way to Cheshire, Dennis Greene felt it was a good thing for his side.

He said to the Grantham Journal "We was all en route to the game when it got called off, so it was very difficult then to just go and train. So we couldn't really do anything barring turn around and come home. You don't know what way it will go, it is a very important game, and what you don't need is it being defined by the elements. If you go there and the pitch is boggy, waterlogged, you've got wind elements."

The Gingerbreads won the away fixture against Witton back at the start of October. In a match The Gingerbreads dominated from start to finish, but it took until an 8 minute spell in the second half for the goals to come. Harvey Grice, an own goal and Mason Lee with the goals. Callum Saunders pulled one back for the home side but Ali Aydemir capped off a superb day on 80 minutes with a wonderful goal.

Witton sit 4 points above The Gingerbreads in the table. In their last away match they beat Ashton United 1-0 courtesy of Rob Holey in the last minute of the match.

The Gingerbreads go into the match with currently no injuries or suspensions.

Greene said: "We're hopeful of a full squad. We had centre halves out injured but they're now back.

"We have got a couple of absentees Saturday through family events that were already booked before we signed them. So there's not a lot we can do about that. But we've got plenty of players to get on with it."



The Grantham Town Supporters Club monthly meeting takes place in The Gingerbread at 12:30pm today.
