Under the lunchtime sun at Blundell Park, the Mariners return to Sky Bet League Two action tomorrow as we welcome league leaders Bromley for a huge clash at the top end of the table (12:30pm kick-off).
Town head into the fixture in strong form, having secured back-to-back victories against promotion rivals to move within touching distance of the play-off places. Confidence is high within David Artell’s squad, but the challenge now is to maintain those standards against a Bromley side unbeaten in 17 league matches.
With just a point separating the Mariners from the top seven and plenty riding on the outcome, a big home atmosphere could once again make all the difference. The stage is set for another compelling encounter on home soil.
Ahead of kick-off, supporters can hear from Head Coach David Artell in his pre-match press conference:
Opening Times
9am: Ticket Office & Club Shop opens
10:30am: The Fan Zone and Lower Bar open to supporters
11am: Turnstiles open
12:30pm: Kick Off
Ticket News
Tickets for this fixture are still available, with seats free in the Technical Absorbents Stand, Ramsden’s Family Stand, Pontoon, and Osmond Stand. 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 the return of the surfer banner for this fixture.
The 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 from 11:15am onward and will be available for photos with supporters.
