We are asking fans to share their views on our current matchday experience at Blundell Park in a new supporters’ survey.
Working collaboratively, the Club and the Mariners Trust, have together devised a 18-question survey to gauge opinion on topics like the fanzone, atmosphere and music with a view to improving the overall matchday experience ahead of the new season kicking off on Saturday 2nd August against Crawley Town.
On the survey, Mariners CEO Polly Bancroft said, “While we know from our recent bronze award in the EFL Family Excellence scheme that we are doing a lot on matchdays well, we are aware that there are still several areas we want to improve for the coming season.”
“I think everyone who was at the last game of the season against Wimbledon would agree that it was probably one of the best atmospheres in the ground for a long time. Although some of that would have been due to the context of that particular fixture, there’s no reason why we can’t aim to recreate that energy and passion more often at home. David has said before that it helps to lift the players and can help to give us competitive advantage over our opponents.
“But this is your Club and we want the supporters of Grimsby Town FC to share their opinions on some of the new ideas we have discussed with the Mariners Trust and on things we currently do.”
Wayne Brightmore, Chair of the Mariners Trust, added, “The matchday experience is something the Mariners Trust have been passionate about for a long time. This summer we have been working with the Club closely on things where we think we might be able to make improvements but we also wanted to engage with our wider fan base as well.”
“The Trust is an organisation run by the fans of Grimsby Town FC, for the fans. If supporters would like to see more themed matchdays, flags at BP, murals or even Tifos, that’s something we can help facilitate.”
The survey, which should take a supporter just a few minutes to complete, is now live and can be accessed by clicking here. Please note that the deadline for entries is Friday 18th July.
