Back at Blundell Park for a 3pm kick-off, the Mariners return to Sky Bet League Two action tomorrow afternoon as we host Harrogate Town in another important fixture on home soil.
Town will be looking to build on the positive performance in our last outing at Blundell Park against Barrow, as David Artell’s side aim to keep momentum on their side heading into the closing stages of the season. With valuable points still up for grabs, the Mariners will be determined to deliver another strong display in front of the home crowd.
Supporters will once again play a key role in creating the atmosphere, with fans encouraged to use the clap banners placed on seats around the stadium to help generate the noise and get behind the team from the first whistle.
Ahead of kick-off, Head Coach David Artell shared his thoughts in the pre-match press conference:
Opening Times
10am: Ticket Office & Club Shop opens
12pm: The Fan Zone and Lower Bar open to supporters
1:30pm: Turnstiles open

Due the to size of the anticipated attendance, supporters in the Technical Absorbents Stand and Covered Corner are to exit via the rear of the Pontoon and out of the Imperial corner exits. We apologise for any convenience this may cause.
We’d like to remind fans to enter Blundell Park by the entrance stated on their ticket to avoid any delays.
Clap Banners
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!
Her Game Too
We are dedicating this fixture to supporting Her Game Too, a campaign committed to tackling sexism in sport and creating a more inclusive environment for everyone who loves football.
Founded in May 2021, Her Game Too is a voluntary movement led by a team of passionate female football supporters determined to challenge discrimination and promote equality within football and the wider sporting world. The campaign works to raise awareness, provide education and encourage positive change across the game.
As part of the dedicated matchday, the Her Game Too logo will be displayed on the big screen at Blundell Park to help raise awareness of the campaign and its message, and there will also be a dedicated feature in the matchday programme.
Supporters will also have the opportunity to celebrate another special moment for the club at half-time, as the newly crowned Grimsby Town Women champions will complete a lap of honour, allowing fans to congratulate them on a fantastic season.
Everyone at the club looks forward to recognising the achievements of the Women’s team while also highlighting the importance of creating a football culture that is inclusive and welcoming for all.
