Our pitch is one of the very few original surfaces left. Someone smarter than me will be able to tell exact number but its 5 or 6 iirc. On that basis and in fact many others, Sky can shove up their arses.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

Would gladly help them. But to my mind turf is too pliable for those b*stards.

Wtf have Sky got to do with it? When was the last time they broadcast one of ours games? Is there a league 2 package for next season I’m in aware of?


I can confirm the same as crusty. Also did stadium tour with Dave smith and he said that the mounds had already been lowered but not enough for sky. Something to do with the ‘signs’ lying on the outside of the pitch near the goals I think.

The pitch is the original pitch from when Blundell Park was built and has never been relayed. That makes it the oldest pitch in the league.

Heared this once on a game covered by TV. (can't remember what game it was)

Does this mean the goal mounds will be getting "scalped" in the summer?

Maybe the club should use it as an opportunity to get the community in and onto the pitch just before the work begins?  Perhaps a series of schools fixtures for a weekend, both boys and girls' teams, and get some parents and families into the club who might not have been before.  Then start the work and re-sowing the next day.

I thought we relayed it one of the years in non league but can’t be sure.
