Town's 5-Year Goal To Net New Stadium

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub

Both.

Well in Tim's case you must have info. I don't have access to. I don't recognise the description!

Quoted from promotion plaice

Sorry if i'm missing something but i can't see no stadium, just loads of flats.

EXACTLY.  The idea of these pictures is to show the development as a whole and how it fits into the local area.  In Brentford's case, apartments in an urban area in desperate need of housing.  In our case, it could show leisure and community facilities, landscaping and give an impression of how the ground fits into the local area.

It's precisely to show people that it's not all about the stadium that Brentford produced these images and brochures; to address the wavering element of local opinion which was in the end crucial to them getting the go-ahead.  We need to do the same and start appealing to the 100,000 people who are open to persuasion that this development is good for the town.

I now see where your coming from, maybe the problem here is that Towns new ground is on a greenfield site, and Brentfords new ground is on land currently occupied by industrial tenants. Having said that i totally agree with you.

one question we should perhaps ask is will BP as it presently stands be a usable facility for 5 more years? Personally i
doubt it,surely its only a matter of time before the wooden shambles we call the main stand is denied a safety certificate
and the rusty iron girders holding  up the roof of the Osmond are an embarrassment,as are the wilderness areas in the corners,
the new stadium was first muted 20 years ago and i am totally fed up with it all now, 1 year delay, 2 years delay,council district
changes, red tape,newts, bull sh1t, more bullsh1t, Great Coates NIMBYS and now we are told it could still be 5 years away and
in a location so bizarre its bound to start the merry go round of objections all over again.
Lets just  revamp BP, concentrate on improving our league status and re-visit this in the future,otherwise we could find ourselves
with both with an even more embarrassingly  decrepit ground and still no sign of a new stadium
My opinion, i'm sure plenty will disagree..

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

I'm 25 in a few days. It's become as bad as Caistor's South Western Bypass...

Quoted from HackneyHaddock

Take a look at this:

I think something like this, even if in a very conceptual format, would be very helpful, especially the sketches of different view from different vantage points.  Can the club make some enquiries with Brentford and get a referral to the company who produced it?  

Check out the other pics here, looks awesome >> http://www.dharchitects.co.uk/#!brentford-community-stadium/c1bcb

Grimsby Town should follow a similar, but unique design project, it's a pity Freeman Street could not be totally knocked down and rebuilt just like that, would totally regenerate the area.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Headlines today Grimsby Telegraph ( no link yet online ).

Grimsby Town hope to take plans for a new community stadium, with the goal of £200 million investment in related housing and retail development, to the next level before the end of the year.

The club's plan is to build a 14,000 seater community venue, with a 2,000- space car park.
A new retail and housing development will help fund the scheme and it is vital if it is to go ahead.

Over the next week, the Grimsby Telegraph will be breaking the matter down into a number of areas to explore the issues in detail.

Hope this finally comes to fruition at some point.

would be a fab idea, that. it will be a land ownership issue though I reckon, maybe like the docks is, loads of different owners.

We can discuss other sites and talk about revamping Blundell Park,

BUT

John Fenty has said on many occasions why they are not feasible ,

If we want a new ground we all have to get behind the Peaks Parkway site,

OR

We will remain at Blundell Park

It will in time fall down and we will have no ground at all.
