Fan Zone Re-opens for York City Fixture   We are looking forward to welcoming supporters back to the Fan Zone on Saturday as the Mariners take on York City at Blundell Park.   Following a short period of closure, whilst ownership of the bar facilities transferred to the Club, we have taken the opportunity to make some improvements to the Fan Zone which has become an important part of many supporters’ matchday experience since 2021.   Both bar hatches will be in operation, helping us serve supporters quickly and efficiently on matchdays.   A widescreen LED TV has been fitted to the base of the floodlight pylon, which will show Sky Sports in the build-up to each fixture, allowing supporters to catch the latest football action ahead of kick-off.   Paul Cook, of Cooky Cooks, will be provide DJ entertainment in the build up to the game and also at half-time.    Food vendor ‘Chicken Man’ will also be back, serving up his popular chicken and chips dishes, and a face painter will also be on hand for younger fans.   We plan to make further improvements throughout the season and welcome supporters to share their feedback and suggestions with slo@gtfc.co.uk or the Mariners Trust.   We would like to place on record our thanks to Docks Beers for being part of the Fan Zone project for the last five years and helping us to enhance the matchday experience at BP.   The Fan Zone bar will reopen at 11am on Saturday, due to the earlier kick-off, giving supporters time to enjoy the pre-match build-up.   UTM

Good Morning The player bar in the main stand is now open to fans wishing to drink pre-match from 12:00.   A valid season pass or match day ticket for the main stand must be displayed on entry, and no entry to their match seat will be allowed until the turnstiles open at 13:30.   Fans must enter this bar through the Harrington 1 players gate and no access from any other bar or area will be permitted.   Match tickets will be scanned upon entry and will not require scanning again.   All other fans must enter the stadium through the turnstiles for the stand where their seat is located.   Pontoon and Osmond stand fans must enter the stadium via the correct turnstiles for that stand, even if they are drinking in the Lower bar pre-match.   Main stand fans drinking in the main stand bar can take their seats directly from 13:30, and Upper and Lower stand fans can do the same from the Lower bar, without having to leave the stadium. UTM!
