There’ll be a competition for the golden goal on board, as well as a raffle with the chance to win Stags’ merchandise.

To book your space, please call their booking hotline on 07967 689597.

BY ROAD 

If you’re making the journey to Grimsby by car, take the A60 to the A1 and onto Blyth Road, where you’ll then have to take the M18 and M180 to North Lincolnshire. 

From there, follow the A180 to Imperial Avenue in Cleethorpes before being guided by nearby signs to the stadium.

BY RAIL 

Only one change at Worksop is required for fans making their way to Cleethorpes railway station, which is a 15-minute walk from the ground.    

When you’ve arrived, walk down Station Road, High Street, Grimsby Road and Neville Street and you will reach your destination.

PUBS 

Inside Blundell Park, away fans are treated to their own bar called Scotties. It opens at 1:30pm, serves two pinters and the first fan through the door with a piece of Stags' memorabilia gets the first drink for free. The bar is of a fair size and has seating, plus it shows live sport on the television. 

Please note that the Blundell Hotel is for home fans only.

As you drive along the A180, you will pass McDonalds and there should be car parking spaces available on the side of that road, however supporters are advised to arrive as early as possible as these tend to get taken quickly. 

Please note, parking restrictions are in place on various roads around the ground.

LAST TIME WE MET 

The last meeting between the two sides was in September 2016 when Grimsby Town ran out 1-0 winners at One Call Stadium. 

Stags created a number of early chances in the match and could easily have been ahead in just the sixth minute when striker Danny Rose saw his curling effort from the edge of the box beaten away by Grimsby stopper James McKeown. 

Former midfielder Mitchell Rose and striker Matt Green then had efforts blocked from the edge of the area before Grimsby had their first attempt on ten minutes when Shaun Pearson headed over from just a few yards out. 

Stags then had an attempt cleared off the line as Danny Rose directed a header goalwards but Grimsby broke away and ended up scoring the only goal of the game. 

Striker Omar Bogle was sent through one-on-one in the box but the ball ran loose and as ‘keeper Scott Shearer came to claim, he brought down Bogle, leading the referee to point to the spot. 

The now departed frontman picked himself up and sent Shearer the wrong way to score what turned out to be the decisive goal. 

Stags tried to hit back straight away and Green saw a rasping shot from the edge of the box saved well by McKeown, before the top scorer miscued a shot wide. 

After the break, it was one-way traffic once more as Stags did their best to get back on level terms, but both Green and Mitch Rose missed good chances from headed opportunities. 

Stags kept pressing forward throughout the final 15 minutes but the Mariners stood strong and held on to the three points.
