About our Grimsby Town news
Latest news on Grimsby Town FC, covering transfers, fixtures, results, match reports, injury updates and Mariners team news from Blundell Park and League Two.
Founded in 1878, Grimsby Town are among the oldest football clubs in England and the most successful in Lincolnshire. Known as the Mariners, the club play in black and white stripes at Blundell Park, which sits in neighbouring Cleethorpes rather than Grimsby itself. The ground is one of the oldest in English professional football and holds around 9,500 spectators.
Our feed brings you every development from Blundell Park, from transfer signings and contract news to managerial updates and matchday coverage in League Two, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup and the EFL Trophy. Grimsby have built a reputation as cup giant-killers in recent years. In 2023 they reached the FA Cup quarter-finals, beating five higher-division sides including Southampton, and in 2025 they stunned Manchester United on penalties in the EFL Cup.
Off the pitch, the club has become a symbol of community-led football. Local businessmen bought the club in 2021 through their 1878 Partners vehicle, placing supporters and the town at the heart of their plans, with the Mariners Trust giving fans a voice. Debate over a potential new stadium or redevelopment of Blundell Park has rumbled on since the 1990s and remains a recurring talking point.
Grimsby's history reflects the fortunes of the fishing port they represent. The club played top-flight football until 1948 and reached FA Cup semi-finals twice in the 1930s, while legendary manager Bill Shankly began his career in the dugout at Blundell Park. More recently, the Mariners won twice at Wembley in 1998 and returned to the EFL in 2022 after a dramatic National League play-off triumph.
