  • Cleethorpes station — More frequent trains, about 20 minutes' walk along the seafront to the ground.
  • Driving — M180 then the A180 into Grimsby; street parking near the ground is possible but limited.

    Quiet backstreet pub away from the seafront crowds.

    Coastal nature reserve just south of the resort, little-visited by away fans.

Transport alert

Midweek kick-off

A 19:45 start in Cleethorpes means the last realistic train back leaves around 22:15. Check the connection before you buy a ticket.

Transport alert

Bank holiday network works

Easter and the May bank holidays are the heaviest engineering weekends of the year. April trips into Cleethorpes should be planned around a possible line closure.

Ground note

Blundell Park is actually in Cleethorpes, not Grimsby itself — don't be caught out by the club's name.

Ground note

New Clee station has a very limited weekend service — check timetables in advance.
