The "BP 4" Raffle Is Now Underway!!

WE are pleased to announce "The BP 4 Raffle". The Proceeds are to be used to help the "BP 4". Kirk Wheeler and Graham Hockless who have both played for England, and Stephen Downes and Greg Young are the young players who Paul Wilkinson is seeking support to help keep them at Blundell Park.

Paul said "Fans who would like to help us financially would be investing in the Club's future, and so any amount of money would be a great help. There may be a company out there that would give the full amount of £5,000 for one player, but equally, there may be some people who would welcome the opportunity to make a smaller donation - absolutely any amount no matter how large or small."

Good News!

Mariners Net the club's official website, The Fishy and the two supporters groups, "GTISC" and "It's A Grim Exile" are working jointly to help Paul in his call for help with the youngsters at the club, who are our future stars!

Mariners Net have already received a donation of £100 to kick off the appeal and The Fishy has agreed to match that with their donation of £100 and The Grim Exiles have also contributed £100 which gets the campaign off to a good start.

So many times fans have asked "what can we do?" and we are hoping that you the fans will respond to this call for help as a means of answering that question. Without the youth development programme, the club will not be able to produce their own players and it is this important part of the club's activities that will eventually dictate the future success of the Mariners!!!

We have put together a list of prizes that will appeal to Mariner's fans!

But wait! There's more!

The winners of signed shirts can also be the representatives to collect the signed shirts from players sponsored this season, on the pitch prior to kick off, if they wish. Plus you get a Free ticket to game.

The winners of the signed match balls will also be invited as a guest at the club for the next "match ball sponsorship." A free ticket to game including 3 course meal in Sponsors Lounge or Inn on the Park, tour of the ground and dressing rooms before game. Access to Sponsors Lounge or Inn on the Park all day.
