Mariners Respects

We’re proud of the outstanding support Grimsby Town receives both home and away. We want everyone attending to enjoy the match in a welcoming environment.

The Club may issue bans, including indefinite bans, to anyone found to have engaged in discriminatory language or violent behaviour.

We look forward to seeing the Mariners backed loudly and proudly in Bristol.

Safe travels to all supporters making the journey.
