Blundell Park
City: Cleethorpes
Capacity: 9 546 people
Blundell Park is a football ground in Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire, England and home to Grimsby Town Football Club. The stadium was built in 1898, but only one of the original stands remains. The current capacity of the ground is 9546, after being made all-seater in summer 1995, reducing the number from around 27,000. Several relegations in previous years meant the expansion seating was also taken away; that reduced the capacity further from in and around 12,000 to what it is now. The stadium is Grimsby Town's third ground, having previously played at Clee Park, Lovett Street and the Abbey Park Stadium in the clubs first twenty years of existence. The record attendance at Blundell Park was 31,651 in an FA Cup tie against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 20 February 1937. The two clubs also hold the record attendance at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium when 76,962 people saw the two sides meet again in the 1939 FA Cup semi-final.
