Radio Humberside Editor Derek McGill said: "We're really pleased to have reached a commentary agreement with Grimsby Town.

"It means we will be aiming to broadcast more commentaries than ever before on local games involving Grimsby, Scunthorpe United and Hull City.

"There is excellent DAB digital radio coverage in Grimsby so Mariners fans will need to prepare by making sure they have access to a DAB radio for the occasions when we will be splitting our frequencies to cover three simultaneous games."

The Grimsby Town commentaries will be once again be provided by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ commentator John Tondeur, who has been following the club for Radio Humberside for 25 years.

Radio Humberside Sports Editor, David Burns, said: "It's fantastic news that John Tondeur will again be able to offer full match coverage of Grimsby Town – it looks like a very promising season and we'll be behind the club as they have every chance of looking for promotion."
