It has to be said though, it is good to see a ground with proper old-school floodlights and the away end is great with good acoustics to boost the noise generated by the travelling Orient faithful.In Ross Embleton's final game in charge before Carl Fletcher takes the reigns, Orient put in their best performance of the season. In addition to the basic facts, you can find the address of the stadium, access information, special features, prices in … Grimsby fans still identify with their town's fishing heritage, with the chant 'We only sing when we're fishing! Most of the stewards were a pleasure to chat to, and they gave up trying to enforce seating for the away fans after a few minutes and were happy to let the supporters in the back rows in the centre stand, and were happy to let us have the drums throughout the game to try and create some atmosphere. 24.6
Sorree.
In the middle of winter, Cleethorpes virtually closes down and becomes somewhat of a desolate place. This is a huge pub with only about a third of itspotential bar space being used and the majority of mainly home supporters had spilled out into the car park in the hope of developing hypothermia. Jobi McAnuff scored a tap-in for us midway through the half before Omar Bogle sealed his hat trick in stoppage time with a stunning free-kick.
Do agree with what has been written above? I arrived about 12.30 and sailed down to A180 through Grimsby and in to Cleethorpes. Stewarding was surprisingly OK, facilities no change since last time Henry Kissinger was here. But it was straightforward enough to find Blundell Park.Being at the seaside we availed ourselves to a "sit down" meal of fish and chips.
"I can do you a Balti!" The only strange thing was having the segregated away fans housed next to the home family stand, not though there were any problems.Leaving the ground was a bit bizarre. A tight small pitch. The stand opposite the away stand doesn't look that great and needs to replace the seats as they looked as they had seen better days. (And it doesn't get much better than when you win 5-2).
Well worth noting whilst the chips at the Mariners Fish Bar were excellent the fish was awful and it's probably best avoided these days.I just love traditional grounds, not for me the identikit Riversides, and Blundell Park has atmosphere in (buckets and) spades. Great bar for away fans and they value your visit. League level:

Again it was not the most modern, but serves its purpose and was very welcoming which is the main thing.No issues considering crowd was over 5,000 although we'd read a previous ground review and parked on the A180 side which made things easier.After a slightly strange start, where a local on a surrounding street chastised us with choice language for not stopping his runaway dog for him!
The bar had shirts and scarves from other visiting fans on the walls which was a nice touch.

Then opposite the away stand is the Pontoon Stand which in comparison to the rest of the ground looks quite new and a tidy little stand.The game was a classic game of two halves. The stewards were great and didn't throw anyone out, this was surprising as seven pyrotechnics were released in the game. Grimsby dominated the first half and led 1-0 and if they hadn't missed a great opportunity in the second half they probably would have won it. As I was towards the rear the view was limited, due to the low roof and a couple of pillars although I had a reasonable view.
Not the friendliest of home supporters, quite a few hooligans.
