Blundell Park (Grimsby Town FC)

What a god foresaken place this is. I'm a Notts County fan and have visited this ground on a few occasions and every time it seems to get worse. We went there last Saturday and firstly, some moron had decided to hose all the seats down with water, which had not only left the seats wet through, but also dirty as the dirt from the floor had obviously been washed up onto the seats. I'll be surprised if the toilets have any toilet paper in them because almost every Notts fan was using it to wipe their seat down before the game started. As it was a cold day I thought I'd warm myself up with a hot chocolate before the match. At a cost of 2 quid, I ...  Read the complete review

Watching football at Blundell PArk is watching football in the raw, its my home town ground and I love it but I'm not blinkered to its faults. Blundell PArk is the home of the less than Marvellous Mariners (at the moment) Grimsby Town. They have played there since 1899, and the Maine stand is an original from that period making it the oldest stand of its type in the world. Blundell PArk as all anaroks of the football know is actually in Cleethorpes not in Grimsby making Grimsby having to technically play away every game but the towns are joined and the precise dividing line between Cleethorpes and Grimsby is hard to pin down. The ground is on ...  Read the complete review

My Mum & Dad first took me to Blundell Park on April 19th 1997. It was a late 14th birthday present for me, and the Mighty Mariners were playing Reading (we won 2-1 and so began my obsession). We had chosen to sit in the biggest stand of the ground which was then called the John Smiths Stand after the sponsor. This stand is split into two tiers, the smallest being the lower stand and called Lower Smiths (or it was in 97 and I still call it this) and the bigger is the Upper Smiths Stand. This Stand is now called the Carlsberg stand but depending on your age it will be called something else - most people I know still call it the Findus ...  Read the complete review

Blundell Park, the home of the mighty mariners, who needs Old Trafford we have our own theatre of dreams right here, O.K. it may be the dreams of the opposing teams that get fulfilled but still at least some dreams are getting fulfilled, however when it comes to the ground itself then sorry, its a shack. Yes I'm a town fan, yes cut me open and I'll bleed black and white but no I won't sit here and say Blundell Park is great just because I support the team that plays there, heck even the men behind the scenes at Blundell Park hate the place and are wanting to move out and to be honest I can't blame them. So obviously theres quite a few ...  Read the complete review
