Has anybody seen the plans of the new stadium ?

The Telegraph keep showing the ones for the Great Coates site.

Also I will be in my 70's in 5 years time,

Any more delays and I will be pushing up daisy's,

Get a move on Mr Fenty,

I want to sit in our new stadium before I pass away.


Like you Pete some of us aren't getting any younger and would like it sooner rather than later . I want to remain positive that it will be achieved in my life time .

I don't think any of us are getting younger to be fair.

I like Blundell Park, cloaked in barbed wire, nestled between the back to back terraces and accessed through a maze of dog excrement. It's Grimsby. I don't want to see Town play in a Tesco.

In fairness I think Fenty is doing his absolute utmost, he wants the new stadium as much as anyone. Unfortunately the decision as to whether we can use the land or not isn´t his.

Yes I know he is, it's just taking a lot longer than any of us had envisaged.

This can't come soon enough.  After 20 years of obstruction and dithering, the council need to pull their fingers out and just get on with it.

Grimsby could be so much better than it currently is, if only the people running it had some vision.  The North East Lincs area should be a gateway to Europe and the world and should be giving central government the reasons to include it in the "Northern Powerhouse" that they want to run from Liverpool across the country.  Let's aim for a full University in the town, membership of the New Hanseatic League, twinning arrangements with Chinese and Brazilian cities, a renewables hub, a Championship football team, Capital of Culture, and eventually, why not even City status?

If our civic leaders don't even have the vision for this and set as the limit of their development ambitions the installation of new bus shelters and crazy paving slabs, is there any wonder they've prevaricated over something as simple as a new football ground for the last 20 years?

More due to a stubborn and (in my opinion) counter-productive council than anything... it's so frustrating to watch other councils up and down the country support new football ground developments, recognising the value of their respective town/cities' professional football clubs. Can't quite get my head round the attitudes of NEL council in their lack of support.
