JOURNALISTS from a national newspaper were at Blundell Park on Saturday for Grimsby Town's match with Gateshead.
It is believed they were there to do a story about the town's portrayal in the forthcoming controversial Sacha Baron Cohen film Grimsby, and spoke to fans who were at the game.
Grimsby Town press officer Dale Ladson told the Grimsby Telegraph that a reporter and a photographer from the Daily Mirror had requested press accreditation to cover the match. It was reported they had been asking around to see if there were any trouble makers at the match.
Mr Ladson said: "They actually spoke to one of our photographers thinking she was a fan.
"I think they were disappointed. I did think it was strange that they wanted to come for an FA Trophy game. I think they came for a story but went home with nothing."
