GRIMSBY Town legend Dave Boylen has called for a return to the kind of Blundell Park atmosphere that he thrived on in his heyday.
Boylen, who starred for the Mariners between 1966 and 1978, has thrown his support behind the club's attempts to reinvigorate the home support.
As reported, GTFC have teamed up with the Grimsby Telegraph to extend THREE fantastic offers to fans for Saturday's clash with Barnet.
Every fan who purchases a ticket for the Pontoon stand will receive a free GTFC flag, when presenting the voucher below (while stocks last).
Stadium bosses are allowing Pontoon supporters to bring them to the clash with the Bees and every remaining home clash of the campaign.
Not only that, after listening to fans' requests, Town have decided to open up the Osmond Stand to families, and have launched a 'family ticket' for that stand in a bid to create more atmosphere behind the goal.
With the coupon below, two adults and two children can take their seats in the stand usually reserved for away fans – who will be housed towards the covered corner – for just £20.
Finally, junior fans (under-15) who cut out the exclusive voucher below can get into Saturday's clash with the Conference leaders for FREE when accompanied by a paying adult.
Boylen, who made over 400 appearances for the Mariners, said he hopes fans take advantage of the offers and recreate the fabled Blundell Park atmosphere of the 'good old days'.
He told the Telegraph: "I'd love to see us get back to the days when every club that came to play at Blundell Park were very much in awe of the backing that Town got from their loyal supporters.
"This Saturday's home game against Barnet is an opportunity when we, as devoted supporters, can fully get behind the players out on the pitch.
"This is the kind of game that, when I was a player at least, I thrived on.
"The challenge of taking on the team at the top of the league is one that I'm sure all the players will be relishing, but they need your support.
"When he was here, Lawrie McMeneny used to go and shake the rival manager's hand before the game and say: "Our crowd will beat you today – never mind about the players out on the pitch" before just walking away.
"Those are the kind of atmospheres that we need to get back to."
He continued: "In support of the current crop of Town players, I have to say we are not out of the race to get promotion from this dreaded league.
"Yes, we have had two bad home results against Lincoln and Macclesfield, but we are still in with a good chance of getting promoted – players have got to realise where the target is.
"I do believe we have got a good chance of getting out of this league this season and one of our biggest assets at Town is the support we can generate inside Blundell Park.
"So let's get behind the lads against Barnet and help them with every kick of the ball.
"In my opinion, our supporters are the best in this league – so let's show it again this weekend."
