Grimsby Town have confirmed when they will play their FA Cup Quarter-Final match against Brighton.

The Mariners will head to Brighton & Hove Albion for the game on Sunday 19th March, kicking off at 2:15pm.

The match will also be shown live on BBC One.

It's after the team stunned Southampton in the fifth round of the Cup.

It will be the Mariners first Quarter-Final appearance since 1939, and they're the first fourth-tier side to reach the last eight since Cambridge United in 1989/90.

Paul Hurst’s men have also become the first team ever to beat teams from higher divisions in five consecutive rounds from the First Round.

In a statement on their website Grimsby Town said:

"Our ticket allocation is 4621 and once our Ticket Office has received the physical tickets from our Premier League hosts, we will confirm full ticketing details to our supporters.

"Your support throughout this season, and especially throughout our history-making FA Cup run, has been incredible. We can’t wait to see scenes like Kenilworth Road and St Mary’s at the Amex – keep doing yourselves, the town and the club proud!".
