We’re inviting all Mariners attending our home clash against Harrogate Town to get involved in something a little different on matchday.

In a bid to create an electric atmosphere, 6,000 clap banners have been placed on seats around Blundell Park to help fans cheer the team on. The banners feature the Town badge on one side and, the logo of our new front-of-shirt sponsors from next season, Blackrow, on the other.

We know how important the atmosphere at Blundell Park is for the team. These clap banners give supporters the chance to make a real impact from the stands. All fans need to do is pick up their banner, clap it against their hands, and join in the noise, the more of us taking part, the louder it will be for the team.

The banners will be attached to seats and we encourage everyone to use them to create as much noise as we did in our last home game against Barrow – including the iconic Viking Thunder Clap that was started by our Icelandic visitors last time out.

Let’s continue to make Blundell Park a fortress and show our support from the first whistle!
