3 FISH on the SHIRT - S3 EP03 Predictions | League Two 2026/27

The big one is here — our full League Two predictions from 24th all the way to 1st, each with proper rationale, debate, and the usual Mariners‑flavoured chaos.

We’ve stuck our necks out, we’ve nailed colours to masts, and we fully expect to be held to account come May 2027… and yes, we say that with a wink because we know you will! Thanks to our brilliant sponsors Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Competitions, we were out with the roving mic before the final home pre‑season friendly against Wigan Athletic, asking Town fans where they think The MARINERS will finish this season. Some optimistic, some more cautious, some gloriously unhinged — exactly what you’d expect from proper Mariners.

And this is just the start. The roving mic will be out much more this season, so if you spot us around Blundell Park, Cleethorpes, or anywhere the black and white army gathers, come and talk to us. We want your voices, your predictions, your rants, your hopes, your fears… all of it.

3 FISH on the SHIRT - S2 EP54 Grimsby 1–2 Salford | Playoff Blow… But Far From Over

Town fell 1–2 to Salford City in the first leg of the League Two playoff semi‑final, an afternoon of frustration at Blundell Park where the Mariners created enough to deserve a draw, but head to the Peninsula Stadium with belief, fire & absolutely everything still to play for.

We break down: The key moments from a bruising first leg Where the game slipped and where quality was on show on a day that lacked it. Why the tie is still alive, and the tactical tweaks that can flip it on Friday.

We also take a stand on the ridiculous away ticket allocation, backing Grimsby fans and calling out Salford City’s tiny offering that leaves travelling Mariners short‑changed for a playoff semi‑final. Poor that, non‑league‑level allocations.

Despite the setback, the message is clear: This tie is not done. Not even close. Town have the quality, the character and the momentum to turn this around.

These lads have faced adversity before and come through it!

They can again! COME ON!!

UP THE MARINERS!
