We return to Blundell Park this Saturday as our Sky Bet League Two campaign continues with a home clash against MK Dons.
The Mariners head into the fixture in outstanding form, unbeaten in our last six league matches, keeping clean sheets in all of them and winning each of our last five outings. Momentum continues to build within David Artell’s side, with confidence high as the team climbs the table and closes the gap on those above.
Town now sit just three points off the play-off places and seven from the automatic promotion spots, adding extra edge to an important afternoon on home soil. With Blundell Park set to play its part once again, the Mariners will be aiming to extend their impressive run and maintain their upward trajectory against a MK Dons side that will provide a tough test.
Supporters can hear from Head Coach David Artell ahead of kick-off by watching the full pre-match press conference below.

Ticket News
Tickets for this fixture are still available but are limited. You can purchase online or from the Ticket Office, which will be open until kick-off.
We’d like to remind fans to enter Blundell Park by the entrance stated on their ticket to avoid any delays.
Surfer Banner
In their ongoing efforts to improve the matchday experience, the Mariners Trust are pleased to announce a fan-led display for this fixture.
A large crowd-surfer banner will be unveiled in the Pontoon Stand as the players emerge from the tunnel. The banner will travel from the top corner of the stand (nearest the Technical Absorbents Stand) down to the front, creating a wave effect to build pre-match momentum. It will be retracted before kick-off.
We recognise that such displays may be uncomfortable for some. If you suffer from claustrophobia or anxiety, or simply prefer not to be under the banner, please notify the Mariners Trust representative in the area who will be happy to assist you.
Mighty Mariner
Mighty Mariner will be around the ground with his selfie frame from 11:15am onward and will be available for photos with supporters.
Mighty Mariners Half-Time Penalty Shootout
During half time tomorrow afternoon, we’re giving two young Mariners the chance to step onto the Blundell Park pitch for a fun-filled penalty shootout challenge – with The Mighty Mariner in goal!
If your child would like to be one of the two lucky participants, The Mighty Mariner and his chaperone will be around the ground from 11:15am, on the hunt for two willing volunteers.
Please note, the maximum age for volunteers is 14 years old, and the two children will be selected on a first come, first served basis.
