Blundell Park in Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire, is home to Grimsby Town FC.

The stadium has four stands, namely the Pontoon Stand, Carlsberg Stand, Main Stand and the Osmond Stand. Total capacity is 9,235.

The Pontoon Stand was built in 1961 with the money for its construction raised by the club's fans. It is at the north end of the ground behind the goal and houses the most passionate Grimsby support.

The Pontoon Stand is the only stand in which the seats correspond to the club's colours, black and white stripes.

The Carlsberg Stand, opened in 1981 runs along half the length of the pitch on the west side. It is a two-tiered stand with the upper tier offering views of the River Humber, Spurn Point and the North Sea over the top of the Main Stand. The lower tier is uncovered and between the two is a row of corporate boxes.

The club shop, ticket office, restaurant and administration departments are also based in this stand.

Opposite the Carlsberg stand, on the east side of the ground, is the Main Stand which dates from 1901 and is often claimed to be the oldest stand in the football league.

This stand houses the changing rooms, press facilities and disabled supporters.

The players' tunnel runs from the centre of the stand onto the pitch between the two sets of dugouts.

Away fans sit in the Osmond stand at the south end of the ground, where there are around 2,000 seats. This stand was built in 1939, shortly before the start of World War II.

The corner between the Main Stand and the Osmond Stand is the only enclosed corner in the ground, although there are no seats and the area is fenced off and unused.

The club have received planning permission for a new ground on the western outskirts of Grimsby at Great Coates.
