Games for Marine, newly promoted to the National League North, start at home to relegated Oxford City FC on 10th August – hoping for a good crowd for their first game ever at this level.

Followed by Scunthorpe away at Glanford Park, one of the “big” clubs in the league.

Marine’s average attendance last season was 1242, the club are hoping to get closer to

2000 this coming season. Manager Neil Young has signed a new contract to 2027 to stay at

the club who are hoping for another successful season under his leadership. Marine won the

Northern Premier league play off final in the season 2023-24 alongside the Liverpool Senior

Cup.

The club has been making improvements to the ground in the past ten years with new

floodlights, new boardroom and office, hospitality suites, snack kiosk, first aid room, steward

control room and a club shop. Getting well prepared for the National League North.
