About our Grimsby Town news
Latest news on Grimsby Town FC, the Mariners, covering fixtures, results, transfers, league standings, and updates from Blundell Park.
Grimsby Town Football Club, known affectionately as the Mariners, compete in League Two under manager David Artell, who has transformed the side since his appointment in November 2023. Playing at Blundell Park in Cleethorpes since 1899, the club's identity remains deeply rooted in the town's rich fishing heritage, with the nickname "the Mariners" paying tribute to Grimsby's past as the world's premier fishing port. Artell's tactical approach combines defensive solidity with creative flair, building a team capable of challenging for promotion.
The Mariners made global headlines when they knocked Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup on penalties in August 2025, one of the most famous nights in the club's 147-year history. They followed this remarkable achievement by defeating Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 in the third round, reaching the fourth round for the first time since 2001. Key players including Charles Vernam and Jaze Kabia have been instrumental in the club's attacking threat, whilst the team's performances have energised supporters and renewed hopes of a return to League One.
The club's history is marked by both triumph and adversity. Founded in 1878, Grimsby Town won the Second Division championship in 1900-01 and enjoyed spells in the top flight during the early-to-mid 20th century. The late 1990s represented a golden era under manager Alan Buckley, with the club achieving a historic "Wembley double" in 1998 by winning both the Football League Trophy and the Division Two play-off final. The following season, Town famously knocked Liverpool out of the League Cup at Anfield. However, the 21st century brought challenges, including relegations from the Football League in both 2010 and 2021. The 2021-22 promotion campaign, documented in the Apple TV series "All Town Aren't We", saw the Mariners defeat Ryan Reynolds-backed Wrexham in a thrilling play-off semi-final before securing promotion at the London Stadium.
